How it works

Lenovo Thin Installer saves IT time by eliminating the need to repackage updates to achieve automation. Thin Installer can be leveraged by common software distribution solutions such as SCCM to silently install updates in a targeted fashion. By providing control over the user’s experience with updates, IT can provide a better experience while achieving full compliance faster.

How does IT get started?

Thin Installer and Update Retriever are free downloads available from the Lenovo Support site.

  1. IT admins will populate their Update Retriever repository
  2. Thin Installer can simply be copied to target PCs
  3. Thin Installer is executed and pointed to the Update Retriever repository by command line
  4. Applicable updates are applied at IT’s behest

What is the end-user experience?

When used with Update Retriever, Thin Installer gives IT complete control over the update experience. IT can manage updates to end-users' PCs without having a UI get in the way, or users can be informed with a minimalistic progress indicator.

Streamline your update procedure

Thin Installer makes it easy to install updates with the smallest footprint possible.
