Add ThinApp Applications to Horizon Administrator
You add ThinApp applications to Horizon Administrator by scanning an application repository and
selecting ThinApp applications. After you add a ThinApp application to Horizon Administrator, you
can assign it to machines and desktop pools.
Prerequisites
Register an application repository with Horizon Administrator.
Procedure
1 In Horizon Administrator, select Catalog > ThinApps.
2 On the Summary tab, click Scan New ThinApps.
3 Select an application repository and a folder to scan and click Next.
If the application repository contains subfolders, you can expand the root folder and select a
subfolder.
4 Select the ThinApp applications that you want to add to Horizon Administrator.
You can press Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple ThinApp applications.
5 Click Scan to begin scanning the MSI packages that you selected.
You can click Stop Scan if you need to stop the scan.
Horizon Administrator reports the status of each scanning operation and the number of
ThinApp applications that were added to Horizon Administrator. If you select an application
that is already in Horizon Administrator, it is not added again.
6 Click Finish.
The new ThinApp applications appear on the Summary tab.
What to do next
(Optional) Create ThinApp templates.
Create a ThinApp Template
You can create a template in Horizon Administrator to specify a group of ThinApp applications.
You can use templates to group applications together by function, vendor, or any other logical
grouping that makes sense in your organization.
With ThinApp templates, you can streamline the distribution of multiple applications. When you
assign a ThinApp template to a machine or desktop pool, Horizon Administrator installs all of the
applications that are currently in the template.
