Installing ThinKiosk

ThinKiosk is available as an MSI or in stand alone exe format. The ThinKiosk MSI has been designed to be as unintrusive as possible. The MSI will simply register thinkiosk as an application and create the neccessary files. The MSI will not replace the shell.

To install ThinKiosk, head over to the download page,  install the msi or drop the exe on the local (or what the hell, remote) file system then configure your shell redirection. It really is that easy. Once you have it installed, head over to the configuration page.
