RequiredAppLinks=Plugin.exe
You can import a single package located in a subdirectory of the base executable file.
RequiredAppLinks=plugins\Plugin.exe
You can import all executable files located in the directory for plug-in files. If ThinApp cannot import any
executable file because the file is not a valid Thinapp package or because a security problem exists, the base
executable file fails to load.
RequiredAppLinks=plugins\*.exe
You can import all executable files located at the n:\plugins absolute path.
RequiredAppLinks=n:\plugins\*.exe
You can expand the PLUGINS environment variable and import all executable files at this location.
RequiredAppLinks=%PLUGINS%\*.exe
You can load two specified plug-in files and a list of executable files located under the plug-in location.
RequiredAppLinks=plugin1.exe;plugin2.exe;plugins\*.exe
OptionalAppLinks Parameter
The OptionalAppLinksparameter is similar to the RequireAppLinks parameter but ignores errors and starts the
main application even when an import operation fails.
You must create a link to the primary data container of a package. You cannot link to other shortcut packages.
Path names are on the deployment machine because the linking takes effect at runtime on the client machine.
You can specify absolute paths, such as C:\abs\path\dotnet.exe, relative paths, such as relpath\dotnet.exe,
and UNC paths, such as \\server\share\dotnet.exe.
RequireAppLinks and OptionalAppLinksparameters use the same syntax. For information about the
RequireAppLinksparameter and examples, see “RequiredAppLinks Parameter,” on page 62.
When using the Application Link utility via the OptionalAppLinks parameter, the base package and linked
dependencies must be built with the same version of ThinApp. To upgrade older packages to include the latest
version of the ThinApp runtime, use the relink.exe command-line utility included with ThinApp.
