Thinstall SDK

The new Thinstall SDK delivers an API to system and configuration management solutions to allow for fast and easy distribution of virtualized applications.

Thinstall Management API is a COM object and header files to interface with the Thinstall Management API. This COM object is intended to be used by developers who are integrating Thinstall with other products, solutions, and technologies.

The Thinstall Management API is provided via a single DLL called ThinstallManageApi.dllIt is registered as a COM control using Regsvr32.
What can you do with the Management API:
Simplified Text Registry file generation
Determine if running system processes are Thinstalled or not
Collect information from Thinstalled EXE packages
Locate the sandbox directory for an application
Determine if a sandbox is locked by a process, and which local processes have it locked

Kortom met behulp van deze api kan je een analyse maken van de activiteiten binnen de sandbox. Het is mogelijk om eventuele fouten binnen de sandbox te analyseren. Op deze manier kan je dus je verschillende thinstallend applicaties verbeteren.
