Chapter 6. Working with Thin Installer This chapter provides information about using Thin Installer and configuring it to fit your needs. About Thin Installer Thin Installer is designed to help IT administrators keep the systems in their environment up-to-date. The program searches for the updates from a repository created by the user. The repository can be on a local hard disk drive, a network share, a Web share (HTTP), or external media such as a CD, DVD, or USB hard disk drive. The program automatically recognizes the machine type of your computer, model number, and other system information to determine whether the system needs the available updates. If two or more updates are related, the program downloads and installs all updates. The program can be configured to install updates either manually or automatically. Thin Installer is a lighter version of System Update. Unlike System Update, Thin Installer does not require installation, does not create any registry keys, and does not have any services. All the files related with Thin Installer are located in a single folder. Thin Installer is available on the Lenovo Support Web site at: http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVAN-ADMIN#tvsu Thin Installer is supported on the following operating systems: • Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) • Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) • Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 or later (32-bit only) • Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4 Note: Thin Installer requires Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with Service Pack 1 or later (Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later is recommended). Configuring Thin Installer Thin Installer provides an XML file, ThinInstaller.exe.configuration, to configure settings. The XML file is located at the root of the Thin Installer folder.
