ThinApp User's Guide
Examples
You can set the DisableTracing parameter to prevent the generation of .trace files in Log Monitor.
[BuildOptions]
DisableTracing=1
LogPath
The LogPath parameter sets the location to store .trace files during logging activity.
The default location is the same directory that stores the application executable file. You might change the
default location to find a directory with more space or to redirect the logs from a USB device to the client
computer. Unlike most paths in ThinApp, the log path cannot contain macros such as %AppData% or %Temp%.
Examples
You can set the LogPath parameter to store log files in C:\ThinappLogs.
[BuildOptions]
LogPath=C:\ThinappLogs
Configuring Versions
ThinApp parameters provide information about the versions of application executable files and ThinApp.
CapturedUsingVersion
The CapturedUsingVersion parameter displays the version of ThinApp for the capture process and
determines the file system macros that ThinApp must expand.
Do not modify or delete this parameter from the Package.ini file. ThinApp uses this parameter for backward
compatibility and technical support.
Examples
The CapturedUsingVersion parameter might display ThinApp version 4.0.0‐2200.
[BuildOptions]
CapturedUsingVersion=4.0.0-2200
StripVersionInfo
The StripVersionInfo parameter determines whether to remove all version information from the source
executable file when ThinApp builds the application. The source executable file is the file listed in the Source
parameter.
Version information for executable files appears in Windows properties. Properties information includes the
copyright, trademark, and version number. The StripVersionInfo parameter can remove the Version tab of
Windows properties.
ThinApp sets an initial value of the StripVersionInfo parameter that copies all version information from
the source executable file.
Examples
In rare cases, you can modify the StripVersionInfo parameter to generate an application without version
information. For example, you might want to circumvent version detection scans that compare versions
against a database of outdated software.
[app.exe]
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\myapp\app.exe
StripVersionInfo=1
