Example: Reserving space using ReserveExtraAddressSpace parameter
You can instruct the Windows loader to reserve extra address space. Add K after the number to indicate
kilobytes or M to indicate megabytes.
[<app>.exe]
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\<my_app>\<app>.exe
ReserveExtraAddressSpace=512K
Shortcut Parameter
The Shortcutparameter points a shortcut executable file to the primary data container that contains the virtual
file system and virtual registry. You can distinguish a primary data container from other entry points in the
Package.ini file because the primary data container contains the ReadOnlyDataentry and the other entry points
contain the Shortcut entry.
To ensure that the application can start, the shortcut executable file must reside in the directory that stores the
primary data container file. For information about the primary data container, see “ReadOnlyData
Parameter,” on page 58
NOTE Do not modify the value of the Shortcut parameter. ThinApp detects the primary data container during
the capture process.
Example: Pointing to an Executable File of an Application
ThinApp can point the shortcut executable file AcroRd32.exe to the Adobe Reader 8.exe parameter, which is
the primary data container.
[AcroRd32.exe]
Shortcut=Adobe Reader 8.exe
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
ThinApp can point Microsoft Office Word 2007.exe, the shortcut executable file, to Microsoft Office
Enterprise 2007.dat, the primary data container file.
[Microsoft Office Word 2007.exe]
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE
Shortcut=Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007.dat
Shortcuts Parameter
The Shortcuts parameter lists the locations where the thinreg.exe utility creates a shortcut to a virtual
application.
The capture process determines Shortcuts entries based on the shortcuts the application installer implements.
MSI files use the Shortcuts parameter to determine the shortcuts to create.
Example: Modifying a Shortcuts Parameter
You can modify the Shortcuts parameter to create a shortcut in the Microsoft Office folder of the Startmenu
to the Microsoft Word 2003 application. If you add shortcut locations, use semicolons to separate the entries.
Each entry can contain folder macros.
[Microsoft Office Word 2003.exe]
ReadOnlyData=bin\Package.ro.tvr
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE
Shortcuts=%Programs%\Microsoft Office
