Prerequisites for Building a ThinApp Application

Note:You can also convert a Windows Installer package to a ThinApp application using InstallShield Editor’s ThinApp Assistant. Using the ThinApp Assistant, you can configure a ThinApp application’s Active Directory settings, files, folders, shortcuts, registry settings, isolation options, and build options. See Getting Started With Application Virtualization and the InstallShield Help Library for information on the ThinApp Assistant.

Note:For information on how to simultaneously build an InstallShield Editor project, a Windows Installer package, and a ThinApp application from your Repackager project, see Automatically Generating a Virtual Application During Repackager Project Build.
