Starting and Stopping Virtual Services
When
you
capture
and
deploy
a
package
that
contains
a
Windows
service,
such
as
the
SQL
Server
service,
any
user
can
run
the
package
and
start
and
stop
the
service.
Unlike
native
applications,
virtual
applications
do
not
require
administrator
rights
for
these
operations.
Automatic Startup for Virtual Services
You
can
install
a
virtual
service
as
a
physical
service,
so
that
it
starts
when
the
physical
machine
is
started.
The
virtual
service
remains
in
its
ThinApp
project
package,
but
is
registered
on
the
physical
machine
and
controlled
using
the
natively
installed
service
management
tools.
After
you
package
your
service,
for
example
Apache
Server,
you
register
it
on
the
physical
machine,
using
the
ThinReg.exe
application.
The
service
is
created
as
a
native
service,
using
information
from
the
virtual
registry.
The
service
is
available
to
all
users
using
the
virtual
application.
The
service
is
not
user
specific.
The
process
is
composed
of
the
following
tasks:
Capturing
the
service
by
using
ThinApp
Registering
the
service
on
the
physical
machine
by
using
ThinReg
Create a virtual service for automatic startup
1
On
a
clean
local
machine,
use
ThinApp
to
capture
the
service.
2
After
the
postscan
process
is
complete,
in
the
Setup
Capture
‐
Ready
to
Build
dialog,
click
Edit
Package.ini
.
The
Package.ini
file
opens
in
a
text
editor.
3
Search
for
the
services
entry.
The
entry
is
followed
by
the
name
of
the
service
that
you
captured.
By
default,
the
entry
is
commented
out.
4
Remove
the
semicolon
(
;
)
from
the
start
of
the
line.
5
Save
the
Package.ini
file.
6
Build
the
ThinApp
project.
You
can
now
register
your
virtual
service
so
that
it
can
be
managed
by
using
the
native
services
management
tools.
Register the virtual service on a physical machine
1
Run
the
ThinReg.exe
application.
2
At
the
command
line,
type
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\ThinReg /a *.exe
.
You
must
use
/a
to
register
services.
If
you
run
ThinApp
without
this
option,
the
service
is
not
registered.
You
can
change
the
path,
if
required
for
your
system.
