ThinApp Converter Logic for Detecting the Application Installation Processes
Fortheapplicationinstaller’snetworkshare,ThinAppConverterexaminesallsubdirectoriesunderthe
specifiedUNCpathrecursively,includingtheirsubdirectories.Foreachsubdirectory,itdetermineswhich
commandtorunforsilentapplicationinstallationusingthefollowinglogic:
1 AttemptstofindavalueforInstallationCommandinthe[AppSettings:AppName]sectionofthe
configurationfile.IfsuccessfulThinAppConverterusesthatvalue.
2 Attemptstofindafilenamedinstall.cmdorinstall.bat.Ifsuccessful,ThinAppConverterrunsthat
file.
