Excluding vs. Deleting ThinApp Application Shortcuts

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | ThinApp Assistant

To prevent a shortcut from being created in the ThinApp application, you can choose to either delete or exclude it, depending upon whether you want it to remain in the InstallShield project.

•

Excluding a shortcut—When you exclude a shortcut, it will not be created in the ThinApp application, but it will remain in the InstallShield project. This means that the shortcut would be included in the Windows Installer package that is built from this InstallShield project. See Excluding a Profile Shortcut.

•

Deleting a shortcut—When you delete a shortcut, it is removed from both the ThinApp application and the InstallShield project. This means that the shortcut would also be deleted from the Windows Installer package that is built from this InstallShield project. See Deleting a Shortcut.
