As a matter of fact, we do have a ThinApp FAQ! It can be found here.

So, not just FAQs – the Top 10 ThinApp questions plus a few extra bonuses! 1. ThinApp is a flexible solution. 1. While this might depend upon whom you ask this of, here in the U.S. the most common deployment option for ThinApp packages is via a network accessible ThinApp package repository. ThinReg will honor any Active Directory Security Groups (including nested) defined within the ThinApp packaged app. Now, all of this said, I'm told "across the pond" in Europe the most common deployment mechanism is via MSI through a 3rd party ESD.

InstallTalk: Using MSI Launch Conditions to Prevent Installation on Unsupported Windows Platforms. By Alan Burns Before Windows 7, support for 64-bit Windows was not really a concern for most applications because they were aimed squarely at the 32-bit Windows market.
With Windows 7, a large percentage of Windows users will be using the 64-bit version, which means that your setup program has to know what to do when it encounters 64-bit Windows. If your software only works on certain versions of Windows, you should be using launch conditions to prevent users from installing it on unsupported platforms. I’ve created several launch conditions that you might want to use in your setups. To keep things easy, I have organized the launch conditions using the table format of the LaunchCondition table in the InstallShield Direct Editor.
Windows Installer Sequencing « John McFadyen blog on Enterprise Deployment Architecture.

Throughout this document try to keep this diagram in your head.

Windows Installer has 6 tables which control the order and flow of when and where all other tables are read (as above). What this means is that when you run msiexec.exe /i <Path to msi> which is a typical installation command line you will be executing the two tables of InstallExecuteSequence and InstallUISequence. Question: Scripting Windows 7 fonts install. Windows Installer.
Microsoft encourages third parties to use Windows Installer as the basis for installation frameworks, so that they synchronize correctly with other installers and keep the internal database of installed products consistent.
Important features such as rollback and versioning depend on a consistent internal database for reliable operation. Furthermore, Windows Installer facilitates the principle of least privilege by performing software installations by proxy for unprivileged users. Logical structure of packages[edit] A package describes the installation of one or more full products (Windows Installer does not handle dependencies between products) and is universally identified by a GUID (the PackageCode property). A product is made up of components, grouped into features. Products[edit] A single, installed, working program (or set of programs) is a product. Features[edit] The package author defines the product features.

Use this guideline to author a Windows Installer package that contains more than 32767 files.
