Specifying Sandbox Information

AdminStudio 2025 | 29.0 | ThinApp Assistant

In this step, you have the option of entering a name for the Sandbox cache that is created when the ThinApp application is built.

note

For information on sandboxes and sandbox caches, see About Sandboxes.

To specify sandbox information:

  1. In the ThinApp Assistant , open the General Settings page.
  2. When a ThinApp application is built, a Sandbox cache is created in the following location:
    • c:\Documents & Settings\ USER_NAME\Application Data\ThinApp\ SANDBOX_NAME
    • By default, AdminStudio names the Sandbox by assigning it a unique GUID. However, if you want to override this default Sandbox name, you may (optionally) enter a new name in the Sandbox Name field.

    • The Sandbox Name you enter here is also recorded in the Package.ini file.

  3. If you want changes for Network mapped drives to be saved in the sandbox, then select the Mapped Network Drive Changes go to Sandbox option.
  4. If you want changes for removable disks to be saved in the sandbox, then select the Removable Disk Changes go to Sandbox option.
  5. If you want to delete the sandbox content when the ThinApp application exits, then select the Reset Sandbox on Exit option.
