Using Thin Installer
To use Thin Installer, extract the executable from the Lenovo Support Web site and configure the path of the
repository. To create the repository, see Chapter 5 “Working with Update Retriever” on page 45. By default,
the program searches for updates in a subdirectory under the Thin Installer folder.
Figure 6. Default repository
To specify a different location, use the configuration file located in the Thin Installer folder or use the
command line parameters.
Note: If the repository location is specified in both the configuration file and the command line, the command
line will take higher precedence.
Thin Installer requires administrative privileges. If Thin Installer is invoked by a software distribution
agent, Thin Installer will run with the same privileges as the software distribution agent, which usually
has administrative privileges.
The following table provides the command line scripts for Thin Installer. %ANYPATH% denotes the directories
where the Thin Installer files are located.
