Office 2000 Displaying MSI-Repair box on Startup
This is going to be an embarrassingly easy question I fear. I'm thinapping Office 2000, which, due to the lack of specific instructions my googling ability has been able to bring up, must be quite straight-forward.
My most recent attempt followed the instructions for Office XP, which went into more detail, but every time I run word or excel it comes up with a repair-type box. It doesn't do this on the machine I thinapped on. I have not entered any user name or initials as per the instructions.
The only other things that might be affecting it are:
I'm not using a volume license key, so it is asking for the app to be activated.
It's being thinapped on a machine without internet access.
I'm putting on SP3, and installing every option available. I have unregistered the two dll's it talks about, and removed the options in the language bar.
Sometimes the Office programs hang on exit.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Simon

Thinapp of Pervasive SQL 2000i
Hi there,
I have a quite old application that uses a Pervasive SQL 2000i runtime.
After Installation of the Pervasive SQL and the Software itself I stop the engines and capture my Project.
If I start my Thinapp on a clean VM there is an error "ntucmgr.dll was not found"
Could anyone successfully thinapp Pervasive SQL 2000i?
Every Help would be appreciated.

thinreg.exe /u vs. uninstall.vbs
Hi all,
I'm trying to understand how registering/unregistering of ThinApps work best.
Today we use "thinreg.exe" to register a ThinApp during logon with help of a PowerShell scripts that uses group membership of the user.
----------------------------
Start-Process -FilePath \\server\thinapplibraryshare\thinreg.exe -ArgumentList "/q `"\\server\thinapplibraryshare\funnythinapp.exe`"" -Wait
----------------------------
So the logon part works quite nice.
When it comes to logoff we just unregister all thinapps during logoff using "thinreg /u".
----------------------------
Start-Process -FilePath \\server\thinapplibraryshare\thinreg.exe -ArgumentList "/q /u `"\\server\thinapplibraryshare\funnythinapp.exe`"" -Wait
----------------------------
That also works good in most cases.
But i recognized that over time some apps doesn't get uninstalled correctly.
To fix that we always ran "%AppData%\Thinstall\Unregister\funnythinappfolder\uninstall.vbs" from inside the users session.
Over time and after some more testings i find that using the "uninstall.vbs" seems to be more reliable.
So i decided to just trigger all "uninstall.vbs" at logoff using the following script.
----------------------------
$thinapps = Get-ChildItem -Path $env:appdata\thinstall\unregister -Recurse -Include uninstall.vbs
foreach ($uninstall in $thinapps) {Start-Process $uninstall -Wait}
----------------------------
This is not implemented so far cause there is one question left that i'm trying to understand.
----------------------------
What is the difference between doing the unreg with "thinreg /u" and triggering the "uninstall.vbs"?
Thank you very much for helping me understand this.
Best regards

Upggrading an app but using the newer version of ThinApp
I was catching up on the recent postings and saw this one: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/188674 and it made me wonder - what happens to a package if you update it using a newer version of ThinApp. Do any of the new fixes or features in 4.0.1 work or is it a "package" only (which by package I mean the real app, not the Thinapp virtual OS).
example: I package firefox 6 months ago in ThinApp 4.0.0, and today I want to deploy an updated Firefox using Thinapp 4.0.1. Does the base version of Thinapp actually change for users after this upgrade? Would it matter how I did the update, i.e. appsync versus just dropping in the new file with a ".1" in the name?
I am just curious and want to understand more about what happens in this scenario.
Thanks,

Visio 2010 'no product key detected'
Hello,
I have thinapped visio 2010 following the sequence guidelines on this site
Visio does not activate, when i run 'cscript.exe ospp.vbs /act' within the thinapp cmd. i recieve the message:
'No installed product keys detected'
When I run the installer with the same config.xml and then run the above command the KMS server succesfully activates my Visio product.
Someone got an idea?

Application can't find .ksml after app is made portable using ThinApp
Hi!
I am having a similar problem to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/137009 and would like some help.
I used ThinApp on Halo Custom Edition and it worked but when I launch the program it says it can't find C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\content\600log.ksml
I am really confused, I tried everything.. Should I change the WorkingDirectory?
I attached my Package.ini so you can have a look at it if you want.

Launching a ThinApp and waiting for the process to exit.
I've captured a few utilities than can be called from the command line and a couple of batch files that call them.
When the utilities are not ThinApp'd the batch file launces the utility and waits, while the user interacts with the utility and then exits, at which point the batch file continues.
eg. batch file launches notepad++ with a file, user enters some info, saves file, exits and script continues....
When the utilities are Thinapp'd the batch file launches the utility and the utlity launches as expected but the batch file continues immediately and does not wait for the process to exit.
eg. batch file launches thinapp'd notepad++ with a file, but continues running without the user's input...
I am assuming this is because the entry point process which is called is exiting once the process within the thinapp is loaded.
So my question is, is there a way for the initial process to remain active while the thinapp is running?

Troubles launching FireFox from USB in lab environment
Hi All- Here's some background to help you understand where I'm coming from. I've been tasked with developing a rogue software solution. The requirements of this include running an app from a USB flash drive for a group or single user for a finite period of time. I started with Workstation 6.5.1 and ThinApp 4.0.2 in my lab. I created a VM from an ISO of XP SP2. I installed ThinApp on the VM. Using the wizard I created a package of FireFox 3.0.10 using the defaults. With the help of the Reviewers Guide and the ThinApp User's manual I edited the package.ini file and built a new EXE. My present INI is attached.
Now for what happens. I created a folder on my flash drive called Rogue. I copied the EXE to Rogue and created a sub folder Thinstall in Rogue. I relocate the flash drive to my laptop, browse to the EXE and launch it. In Task Manager I see 2 new processes'. Mozilla Firefox.exe (76K) and firefox.exe. (96K). A new folder, Stubs, is generated on my flash drive and the Thinstall folder gets a new folder too, Mozilla Firefox.exe. Each of these new folders contain data. But nothing more happens and I end up killing the processes'.
I'm going to review the documentation again now. Thanks in advance for any input. If you need more information from me to clarify anything just ask.
Sincerely,
Todd

AutoCAD 2010 with ThinApp 4.0.4
I'm trying to thinapp AutoCAD 2010 Civil 3D with ThinApp 4.0.4.
During capture I get the following errors:
Could not copy file C:\WINDOWS\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_32\index45.dat -> E:\ACAD\%SystemRoot%\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_32\index45.dat
Could not copy file C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngenrootstorelock.dat -> E:\ACAD\%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngenrootstorelock.dat
Could not copy file C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\ngenservice_pri1_lock.dat -> E:\ACAD\%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\ngenservice_pri1_lock.dat
I don't think this errors are a problem because this are locked temp files...
But when I launch AutoCAD I get the following errors:
1st launch thinapp package: This version of AutoCAD was not installed properly and some featurures may not run correctly. You should reinstall AutoCAD immediately to make sure all features are working properly. Do you wish to continue anyway? (This error comes with every launch)
1st launch thinapp package: No Profile name exists: <<C3D_Benelux>> Will create Profile with default settings. (This error is only during first launch so a sbmerge probably will fix this one)
3e launch: The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is niet available. Insert the 'AutoCAD civil 3D 2010 Language Pack - English' disk and click OK. (A sbmerge will also probably fix this one)
How to get rid of the error that AutoCAD isn't installed properly?
I think it has something to do with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 but I can't get figure it out...
The way I captured AutoCAD is:
run a prescan
install AutoCAD
reboot
launch the program and click around
close the program
run a postscan
standard settings selected in thinapp
build the program
(on my package machine .NET Framework is NOT installed. The installer of AutoCAD installs .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 during capture! Also tried to capture AutoCAD 2010 with .NET Framework allready installed but no difference )
Hopefully somebody knows how to get rid of this error!

Using AppSync (autoupdate) in larger environment
Hi Guys,
i wanted to know, if it is possible, to package an application by using a environment variable in the package.ini.
Background:
i want to deploy my virtual package to more than one department of the world, so i want to use the local servers in the departments from where my package is deployed and auto-updated (with appsync), without packaging a specified package for every department.
My question is now if it is possible to use an environment variable in the package.ini to define the AppSyncURL (AppSyncURL =<ENVIRONMENTVARIABLE>).
i am expecting, that every client which uses my application can use a different server for its autoupdate feature.
If that is not possible, has anybody an idea how that can be realized during a "on parent start " action, or is there a way, to override the initially defined AppSyncURL in the package.ini on a client?
i would be glad for any answer.
best regards
Adrian

Microsoft Office no sandbox of COM Objects
Hello,
I have tried to thinapp Microsoft Office with the option SandboxCOMObjects=0.
So another app should be able to access Excel via COM.
I have created a msi within the capture process and executed on the new PC.
Excel runs fine. But access from the other app doesn't work.
I have noticed on another PC that there must be a registry entry like this one:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Application with CLSID
But it isn't created by the msi for example.
I have also noticed the build option "ExternalCOMObjects".
Must I specify them? And how should I get the CLSID?

I have been trying to ThinApp IE11.
When I launch the IE 11 ThinApp I receive an error stating ...The instruction at 0x77c12df6 referenced memory at 0x00000044. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program.
However, if I run it as "Administrator" I don't get the error.
Also...either way I run it, the bar at the top that has the minimize and maximize buttons is missing.
Does anyone know how to correct these issues?

Google Chrome 28.0.XXXX.YY Not Responding....most of the time.
Google Chrome 28.0.XXXX.YY
XXXX is1500
YY is .72
Thinapp Version 4.7.3
Build System: Windows 7 32bit
Client systems Windows 7 32bit
Has anyone else had trouble thinapping the Latest Google Chrome? I am having inconsistent results on launch.
Ultimately, I need a Google Chrome build with an app link to Java 7.25. However, I cant seem to reliably get vanilla Chrome to launch everytime.
Symptom: (majority of the time when launched) I launch the program and it thinks for about 2 seconds, then starts to not respond (the gray circle on the first tab freezes, then about 30seconds later, or when I click on the window the title Bar flips to not responding) I can still kill the window with the red X and most times everything closes in Task Manager (no stray google chrome processes....if there is, I kill those).
Regardless, if it closes everything or there is a stray process, It will usually present the same behavior (9/10 times). Every now and then, I *DO* get it to launch and can hit several different websites with no issues. If I close the program (and verify that all Chrome Processes are dead) and relaunch, it may, or may not work again.
I'm going to attempt to try to outline my troubleshooting process below. Take note, that I have tried adding or not adding the various things below. Most all present the behavior described above and in other articles.
Before you ask.
Yes I have see some of the othere posts regarding Chrome. Including the PDF for getting 20 to work.
Using Merged Isolation Mode (I assume, as that I think that is the default in the build process)
My Package.INI I add:
1) SetVirtualModuleFileNameInPeb=1
I have added it to General Parameters as both the very first line and the very last line under General Parameters.
2) Additionally, under [Google Chrome.exe] I may add the lines to connect to the Java applink.
3) As well as CommandLine=%ProgramFilesDir%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --no-sandbox --disable-flash-sandbox.
4) I've used both/either google chrome. exe and just chrome.exe as the entry point. I let it use a .DAT and have also tried using one of the entry points as the thinapp.
Nothing is reliably changing the build behavior.
Right now, I'm not adding anything fancy. So I'm not adding the CommandLine (#3 above), or trying to applink. Just trying to get a vanilla Chrome to work with the SetVirtual<blahblah> added to general parameters as the only edit on the .INI
I have also tried just adding to the desktop short cuts (post build and install: --no-sandbox --disable-flash-sandbox
When I add those, to the end of the target box on the shortcuts, chrome tends to run the very first time, after doing that. Guaranteed to run exactly ONCE. After that, it is inconsistent. I do notice that if I EVER click the yellow box saying chrome turned off the sandbox the next open, (and subsequent few) ALWAYS fails (10/10). If i never close the yellow box, it just usually fails (7/10 times). THen behavior returns to failing 9/10 times when opening the Chrome THinapp
I may have missed a few of the previously recommended tips. I'm pretty sure I have tried nearly every combonationi can think of.
I reliably built a chrome thinapp a few months ago following the adding of SetVirtualModule in the package.ini. However that capture and build is long gone, and I had not yet successfully attempted to build an applink to Java.
What Am I missing?
