sbmerge.exe Commands
The
sbmerge.exe Print
command
displays
sandbox
changes
and
does
not
make
modifications
to
the
sandbox
or
original
project.
The
sbmerge.exe Apply
command
merges
changes
from
the
sandbox
with
the
original
project.
This
command
updates
the
project
registry
and
file
system
to
reflect
changes
and
deletes
the
sandbox
directory.
Usage
"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\sbmerge" Print [<optional_parameters>]
"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\sbmerge" Apply [<optional_parameters>]
Optional Parameters
The
optional
sbmerge.exe
parameters
specify
project
and
sandbox
paths
and
block
progress
messages
and
merging
of
sandbox
files.
Automatic Application Updates
If
an
application
can
update
automatically,
its
update
mechanism
functions
with
ThinApp.
If
the
application
downloads
the
update
and
runs
an
installer
or
patching
program,
this
activity
occurs
inside
the
virtual
environment
and
ThinApp
stores
the
changes
from
the
update
software
in
the
sandbox.
When
the
application
restarts,
it
uses
the
version
of
the
executable
file
in
the
sandbox
and
not
the
executable
file
from
the
original
package.
For
example,
if
you
capture
Firefox
1.5,
your
autoupdate
mechanism
might
prompt
you
to
upgrade
to
Firefox
2.0.
If
you
proceed
with
the
upgrade,
the
application
downloads
the
updates,
writes
the
updates
to
the
sandbox,
and
prompts
you
to
restart
the
application.
When
you
run
the
captured
application
again,
Firefox
2.0
starts.
If you
delete
the
sandbox,
Firefox
reverts
back
to
version 1.5.
To
merge
changes
that
an
auto
update
mechanism
makes
with
the
original
package
to
build
an
updated
executable
file,
use
the
sbmerge.exe
utility.
See
“Application
Updates
That
the
Administrator
Triggers”
on
page 60.
Table 4-2.
Optional sbmerge.exe Parameters
Parameter
Description
-ProjectDir <project_path>
If
you
start
the
sbmerge.exe
command
from
a
location
other
than
the
application
project
folder,
use
the
absolute
or
relative
path
to
the
project
directory
using
the
-ProjectDir <project_path>
parameter.
A sample
command
is
"C:\Program
Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\sbmerge" Print –ProjectDir
"C:\<project_folder_path>""
.
-SandboxDir <sandbox_path>
When
you
start
a
captured
application,
it
searches
for
the
sandbox
in
a
particular
order.
See
“Search
Order
for
the
Sandbox”
on
page 103.
If
you
use
a
custom
location
for
the
sandbox,
use
the
–SandboxDir
<sandbox_path>
parameter
to
specify
the
location.
-Quiet
Blocks
the
printing
of
progress
messages.
-Exclude <excluded_file>.ini
Prevents
the
merging
of
specific
files
or
registry
entries
from
the
sandbox.
You
can
specify
a
.ini
file
to
determine
the
content
for
exclusion.
This
file
contains
separate
sections
to
specify
files,
such
as
the
FileSystemIgnoreList
and
the
RegistryIgnoreList
.
The
sbmerge.exe
utility
uses
the
snapshot.ini
file
in
the
ThinApp
installation
folder
by
default
to
exclude
certain
content
from
the
merge
process.
This
option
enables
you
to
specify
another
.ini
file
to
ensure
the
additional
exclusion
of
content.
N
OTE
If
you
use
the
Application
Sync
utility
to
perform
application
updates,
disable
the
auto
‐
update
capabilities
of
the
application.
See
“Using
Application
Sync
in
a
Managed
or
Unmanaged
Environment”
on
page 53.
