Administration

Prerequisites
Scan an application repository and add selected ThinApp applications to Horizon Administrator.
See Add ThinApp Applications to Horizon Administrator.
Procedure
1 In Horizon Administrator, select Catalog > Desktop Pools and double-click the pool ID.
2 On the Inventory tab, click ThinApps and then click Add Assignment.
The ThinApp applications that are not already assigned to the pool appear in the table.
3 To find a particular application, type the name of the ThinApp application in the Find text box
and click Find.
4 Select a ThinApp application to assign to the pool and click Add.
Repeat this step to select multiple applications.
5 Select an installation type and click OK.
Option Action
Streaming Installs a shortcut to the application on the machine. The shortcut points to
the application on the network share that hosts the repository. Users must
have access to the network share to run the application.
Full Installs the full application on the machine's local file system.
Some ThinApp applications do not support both installation types. How the application
package was created determines which installation types are available.
Results
Horizon Administrator begins installing the ThinApp applications the first time a user logs in to
a desktop in the pool. After the installation is finished, the applications are available to all of the
users of the desktop pool.
Assign a ThinApp Template to a Machine or Desktop Pool
You can streamline the distribution of multiple ThinApp applications by assigning a ThinApp
template to a machine or desktop pool.
When you assign a ThinApp template to a machine or desktop pool, Horizon Administrator installs
the ThinApp applications currently in the template.
Prerequisites
Create a ThinApp template. See Create a ThinApp Template.
Procedure
1 In Horizon Administrator, select Catalog > ThinApps.
2 Select the ThinApp template.
