From Manual: VirtualDrives The VirtualDrives parameter specifies additional drive letters that are available to the application at runtime. Virtual drives are useful when applications rely on hard‐coded paths to drive letters that might not be available on the client computers. For example, certain legacy applications might expect that the drive is a CD‐ROM and that data files are available at D:\media. Virtual drives are visible only to applications running in the virtual environment. Virtual drives do not affect the physical Windows environment. Virtual drives inherit isolation modes from the default isolation mode of the project unless you specifically override the mode. If you configure your virtual drive with the IsolationMode parameter set to Merged, any write operations to that drive fail if it does not exist on the physical system. A project lists virtual drive information for drives that are present at the time of application capture. The VirtualDrives parameter uses semicolons to separate information assigned to different drive letters and commas to separate parameters for individual drive letters. The VirtualDrives parameter includes this information: Drive is a single character between A and Z. Serial is an eight digit hex number. Type is FIXED, REMOVABLE, CD-ROM, or RAMDISK. FIXED-Indicates fixed media. For example, a hard drive or internal Flash drive. REMOVABLE-Indicates removable media. For example, a disk drive, thumb drive, or flash card reader. CD-ROM-Indicates a CD‐ROM drive. RAMDISK-Indicates a RAM disk. Examples The VirtualDrives parameter is a single string that can hold information for multiple drive letters, and optional parameters for those drive letters. VirtualDrives= Drive=A, Serial=12345678, Type=REMOVABLE; Drive=B, Serial=9ABCDEF0, Type=FIXED Basic usage involves specifying a single virtual drive letter. By default, ThinApp assigns a serial number and the FIXED type to the drive. You can specify the X, D, and Z virtual drive letters. VirtualDrives=Drive=X, Serial=ff897828, Type=REMOVABLE; Drive=D, Type=CDROM; Drive=Z Drive X is a removable disk with the ff797828 serial number. Drive D is a CD‐ROM drive with an assigned serial number, Drive Z is a FIXED disk with an assigned serial number. Change Virtual Drive Isolation Settings You might need to use the ##Attributes.ini file to change the isolation mode of a virtual drive. To specify the isolation mode for a virtual drive 1 Add the %Drive_X% folder to your ThinApp project. 2 In the new directory, add the ##Attributes.ini file to specify the isolation mode for the drive letter.
