How to Disable VMware ThinApp Popups

VMware ThinApp allows developers to package an application within a single file that contains a virtual operating system that loads and executes the program. The integration of the virtual operating system ensures the code can be run in a consistent and secure way that does not pose risk of malware to the machine that is running the file. ThinApp applications often supply status information via pop-up windows that can interrupt your application experience. You can completely disable these pop-ups by launching the ThinApp executable with a silent parameter.

Things You'll Need

• VMware ThinApp Application

Instructions

1. Click "Start," then type "Command Prompt."

2. Press "Enter" to load the command prompt window.

3. Navigate to the directory containing your ThinApp executable. Type "cd C:\Path\To\File.exe" without quotes, replacing "C:\Path\To\FileDirectory" with the drive letter and location of the file's folder.

4. Type "filename.exe -silent" without quotes. Replace filename.exe with your ThinApp application's name. You will no longer receive popups when using your ThinApp Program
