Thinstall SBmerge, keep it simple

May 22, 2008

Today, while I gave a Thinstall (ThinApp) classroom training, I invent that there is a very simple way to use the SandBox Merge (SBmerge) utility with a small command file. Normally I tell people to open a command prompt and browse to the project files folder. Next step is to start sbmerge.exe with a parameter print or apply. However you have to type a lot of text within the command prompt before the sandbox is really merged with the project files.

Today I created the command file below and copied that to every project files folder. Now, when I double-click te icon (command file) the sandbox automatically merged with the project files and the Thinstalled executable will be generated immediately.

You only have to copy the following code into a command file and use it;

"c:\program files\thinstall.vs\sbmerge.exe" apply
build.bat
