Overview of the ThinApp Assistant

AdminStudio 2025 | 29.0 | ThinApp Assistant

A ThinApp application is a self-contained application virtualization solution that requires no client-side agents or supporting server infrastructure. A ThinApp application runs within a virtual environment that prevents it from interfering with other software running on the same machine. You can use the InstallShield ThinApp Assistant to configure and build a ThinApp application.
