Building a Windows Installer Package to Assist in the Distribution of a ThinApp Application

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | ThinApp Assistant

You can choose to build a Windows Installer package to assist in the distribution of a ThinApp application. This simplifies the deployment of a ThinApp application by enabling you to use enterprise distribution tools such as ConfigMgr (Formerly called as System Center Configuration Manager) or Microfocus ZENworks Configuration Management.

To build a Windows Installer file with your ThinApp application, select the Generate a Windows Installer (MSI) file as part of the build output option on the Build Options page of the ThinApp Assistant. By default, this option is not selected.

This Windows Installer file can be run to properly install the ThinApp application on an end-user’s desktop. A ThinApp application installed using a Windows Installer package can be uninstalled using Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
