Configuring the ThinApp Runtime 4
You can modify ThinApp parameters for runtime configuration tasks that affect application startup
performance and virtual computer names.
1 NetRelaunch Parameter on page 15
The NetRelaunch parameter determines whether to restart an application from the local disk when you
run the application from a network share or removable disk, to address the slow startup of applications.
2 RuntimeEULA Parameter on page 16
The RuntimeEULA parameter controls the End-User License Agreement display for the package. This
parameter addresses legacy EULA requirements. VMware does not require a runtime EULA for ThinApp
packages.
3 VirtualComputerName Parameter on page 16
The VirtualComputerName parameter determines whether to rename the computer name, to avoid naming
conflicts between the capture process and the deployment process.
4 Wow64 Parameter on page 17
The Wow64 parameter simulates a 32-bit environment for 32-bit applications that cannot run on a 64-bit
Windows operating system.
5 QualityReportingEnabled Parameter on page 17
The QualityReportingEnabled parameter specifies whether VMware may collect anonymous data on a
package to improve ThinApp application support. VMware collects application information such as the
version and the number of application failures.
NetRelaunch Parameter
The NetRelaunch parameter determines whether to restart an application from the local disk when you run the
application from a network share or removable disk, to address the slow startup of applications.
ThinApp sets an initial value of the NetRelaunch parameter that detects whether an application runs from a
network drive or a removable disk, and uses a stub executable file on the local hard disk to restart the
application. This process addresses performance problems that Symantec AntiVirus generates when it tries to
do a complete scan of executable files that open from a network share or removable disk, and on executable
files that make the initial network connections. The scan can affect start times for large executable files.
