If yes, i think you may go for capturing both of them in a single ThinApp.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have an application that needs to be packaged as a ThinApp. One component is a client-installed certificate, which is uses for authentication to a server it communicates with. There are two separate installations, one for the app and one for the certificate. How do I build a package that will include both?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for any guidance!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Greg&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, it is. The two installs are generally run back to back. We'll give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks for confirming that the certificate doesn't require some special magic.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Greg&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I consider packaging an app with a certificate a very bad practice. &lt;STRONG&gt;Certificate(s) should be deployed with a GPO. It's easy, clean and a well-managed deployment.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/STRONG&gt;(depending on the source certificate and your internal infrastructure, you may even use Autoenrollment)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If for some reason you need to package it with the app, it's possible and should be captured as a single package. But you'll have to modify the &lt;STRONG&gt;snapshot.ini&lt;/STRONG&gt; file of ThinApp (file in the thinapp install folder) to be able to capture the certificate installation during the capture process. &lt;SPAN&gt;By default, ThinApp restricts certain locations from scans by reading the &lt;STRONG&gt;snapshot.ini&lt;/STRONG&gt; exclusion file.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You'll have to remove or comment the following line(s) from the snapshot.ini depending if your capturing on a 32-bit or a 64-bit OS:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0015=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0105=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\SystemCertificates&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The &lt;STRONG&gt;snapshot.ini&lt;/STRONG&gt; file says it but if you delete/comment a value make sure, there are no gaps in the numbers!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Note the previous lines were for a &lt;STRONG&gt;machine certificate&lt;/STRONG&gt; installation. If your certificate is not captured even after this change, you may have other lines to remove to the snapshot.ini file but thre previous two lines should be enough for a machine certificate.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Olivier&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Olivier,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for the information. Deploying the certificate using GPO should make sense for the scenario we are considering. I have another scenario in mind were it may not, so the additional information is also helpful.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Greg&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
