To resolve a compatibility issue with document scanners and a specific application in our existing IE8 ThinApp captured from Windows XP x86, VMWare engineers recommended that we capture IE8 from Windows XP x64.

I have the capture process running fine, pre-scan with the VM running IE6, Install IE8, reboot and post-scan.

The browser will run on Windows 10 x64 without issue. It will not run on Windows 7 x64, and crashes with an error message of "Internet Explorer has stopped working". I have tried running the ThinApp log monitor on the Windows 7 machine, but the crash dump is so large it's hard to parse any data out of it.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

We are trying to virtualize a java application (applet), which uses Java JRE 1.3.0-C. Once virtualized, if is run on a PC without JRE works quietly, if is run on a PC with 1.6 JRE installed Internet Explorer detect a conflict between the two versions and the application does not run. Some idea, suggestion?

I am evaluating Thinapp 4.0.1 and I noticed a couple things. We are streaming the apps and users connect to them with a logon script using Thinreg.

#1. The error "Unable to register
server\path\app.exe" pops up for users if they are not able to run the app based on AD membership when we use the PermittedGroups setting in the Package.ini.  In another post I saw this may be a bug?  I tried using the Thinreg /Q or /Quiet switch on the logon script.  Why is this warning not suppressed?

#2.  When launching an app the user sees a Security Warning "The publisher could not be verified" message.  If they click OK the app will run.  Did I forget to do something here?  Example:

Name:  Microsoft Office Excel 2007.exe

Publisher:  Unknown Publisher

Type:  Application

From:  OurDomain.com

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to create a thinapp package that has crystal

launcher.exe that needs to have crystal runtime installed to work.  I

have found that the thinstall package with the following vbs script

Function OnFirstParentStart

AddForcedVirtualLoadPath("c:\program files\common files\Business Objects\2.7\bin")

End Function

works under windows xpsp2 when I run the reports in the thinapp package.

But when I try to run the thinapp package on xpsp3 I

get an error saying "Error loading library: "CRPE32.DLL  Windows Error

Number: 998 - Invalid Access to Memory Location."  when I try to run

the same reports.

This does work as a full install in xpsp3 and I have tried to capture the installation in sp3.

Has anyone else had any issues with this and have they found any fixes?  Please let me know if I need to provide any more details.

I have attempted to package MS Expression Studio 3 (including .net 3.5 SP1).

When I attempt to run Expression Web it just hangs at the green "Microsoft Expression Web 3" splash logo. Process list in Task Manager shows ExpressionWeb.exe using 50% CPU resource.

Design, Encoder & Super Preview produce unhandled exception errors. Blend does absolutely nothing. The silver lining is that Encoder Screen Capture actually works.

Can anybody help.......... please!!

Hi All,

Has anyone had much luck ThinApping iTunes 9.1? (new version). I can get it to work on a 32 bit windows XP, but the moment i take it over to Windows 7 64 bit it crashes (even when i comment out the line WoW =64 from the .ini).

Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

I have a problem with a application that I have thinapped, when the user exits the program it remains running in task manager.

Then when the user tries to re-launch the program at a later time they recieve an error message that it is already running.

I am trying to create a kill.vbs script that will terminate the process after the user closes the program but I am having some difficulties getting results.

I have tried some different examples and functions found on the web and on here but the processes still seem to stay running.

Is there a way to determine if the script is executing correctly ?

I have been using the below script within different functions (OnFirstParentExit etc... )

Am I correct in placing this code in a 'kill.vbs' file and saving it to the root folder ?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

-

Function OnFirstParentExit

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _

& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate{color:#ff0000}}!\{color}" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _

("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'xcal.exe'")

For Each objProcess in colProcessList

objProcess.Terminate()

Next

End Function

Hi,

We're in the middle of packaging Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 with thinapp so one of our business lines can use it under Windows 7.  The reason we're using reader 5.0 is that the business line is relying heavily on Acrobat indexes and 5.0 is the last version to support it. To access the index list, the app is relying on registry values in the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\5.0\Search\cIndexes\cIndex" key.  We have about 50 users using it, and none of them uses the same index list. Since the list tops at 256 indexes, we cannot put all indexes in the same bubble.

So far, it will only fetch them if we put the information inside the thinapp registry.

Since we wanted to avoid making 50 bubbles, we're trying to have the bubble open the host registry to fetch this information.  What we first tried was to change the concerned keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER.txt file from "isolation_writecopy" to "isolation_merged", but it didn't work.  We then tried to remove the file, thus letting the application access the registry in writecopy mode, but that didn't work either.  We thought it might be because the keys are not in the Wow6432 node, but we have the same problem with the Thinapp running inside of Windows XP.

Is there something we're missing?

To help you help us, I provided the HKEY_CURRENT_USER.txt made by default by thinapp, and a .reg file containing an example of the registries specific to one of our 50 users.

Thank you in advance.

Good morning,

I've been running into an issue where I create an IE 8 package and when I go to run it from Windows 7 x64 it looks like it's launching, it quickly flashes the IE window and then crashes. Doesn't prompt with an error message or anything.

The sets I used to create the package I found here, and from various of locations, but here they are below:

1. Windows XP - IE 6 Device - Prescan
2. Install IE 8 from EXE
3. Postscan after full install - No Changes or modifications to IE 8 in anyway, application runs fine on host PC
4. Build Package
5. Copy IEShims.dll and jscript.dll from Windows 7 machine w/ IE 8, past in the needed folders in the package
6. Rebuild

After doing the above steps and launching it from a client PC is when I run into this issue. Below the is the walkthrough I used, among many others.

I searched the topic on these forums and tried the various ways suggested, but nothing seems to be working.

I have a handful of thinapps that when launched, close immediately when run on a virtual desktop with the Horizon View 6.2 agent.

If I launch these apps on a desktop that has the 6.1 agent I don't have any problems.

Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on this?

Thanks,

Hi All,

I am capturing an application using Thinapp 4.7.3 which has DCOM services . When captured , i am not able to check the services when i open the virtual explorer and "run as administrator" the "dcomcnfg.exe" in system32 folder(Tested on clean machine).

I am not sure whether we can see the DCOM services in the virtual explorer . How can we make sure that DCOM services are captured in the package.

I cannot test the package as i am not the end user . Once packaged , it will go for UAT where it will be tested . I don't want the package to fail in UAT.

Please share your views and help me!!!

every code base is same .

the application we had uses dll .net 4.0

5.0.1 didnt had this isue .

i upgraded to 5.1 and after  running the application 10 min or earlier it suddently crashes upon clicking any where on the screen.

the same is happening in xp ,win7 or win 8 systems.

this is the eventvwr message i got.

i can see the nt0_dll.dl is the new architecture change in 5.0 and it was stable for us in 5.0.1.

I have a few apps that use winhlp32.exe with internal links on the programs menu bar.  When I put them in my Citrix (64bit OS) environment  the help links are broken.

I tried copying the winhlp32 files to the following macro folders (%SystemRoot%, %SystemSystem%). I also tried changing the attribute file in each directory to (Full, Merge and WriteCopy), which did not work.

Does anyone have any solutions to this issue?

I used thinapp 4.0.1 to capture.  It supports winSxS so not sure why this is happening?  Any ideas would be great!

We recently started using VMWares Thinapp v 4.0.2866 to package applications for our labs and have successfully packaged several apps. Could someone clearify the procedure for using the Appsync Utility to update applications, the documentation on this is not to clear. To test, this is what I have done:

NOTE: I accepted all the defaults during the capture process.

• I captured Adobe Reader 8.1.4 and stored the whole folder (which includes the Package.ini, bin folder etc...) on a network share

• I created a folder on the root C:\ of the target machine called "Thinapps"

• I copied the .exe to the Thinapps folder I created on the target machine, I also copied the AppSync and Thinreg utility (not sure if I needed to???) to this folder

• I used Thinreg to register the application, the Icon was placed on the desktop and the application opened and worked fine.

Now, I want to update the application to Adobe Reader 9.1.

How do I do this?

The Sandbox and Inventory  Name for 8.1.4 is Adobe Reader 8.1.4, the Sandbox and Inventory Name for 9.1 is Adobe AIR. Does this make a difference? If so, what do I need to do?

I know in the package.ini file under AppSync Parameters the semi colon in front of  AppSyncUrl needs to be remove to enable Appsync, but I'm not sure what to do after that.

I have attached a copy of the Adobe Reader 8.1.4 package.ini file for review.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks, Mary

Can anyone having anynotes how thindirect will be working.If there pls share those documents.

I am thinking about connect remote offices using the 3G connection. So  is there any thin client which supports 3G. The good choice is TC and 3G  modem is good choice. The office environment is fully one VMware VDI  visualization.
