Using ThinApp Assignments with VMware View

The VMware View Administrator allows ThinApp packages to be assigned to individual desktops or pools of

desktops to allow for streamlined application deployment. The requirements to utilize this method are MSI-

based ThinApp packages, a ﬁleshare, and VMware View 4.5.

To Create the MSI-based Packages for Full and Streaming Deployment

ThinApp packages used for assignment through View Administrator must be in MSI format. The default

selection of creating an MSI through the Setup Capture wizard will create a package that can be deployed only

in Full (deployed) mode through View Administrator. To be able to deploy the package in Streaming mode as

well, the MSIStreaming parameter must be set to 1. For this reason, when creating packages for a VMware View

environment it is recommended to create packages using the MSIStreaming=1 parameter.
