Im trying to package Graphpad Prism 6 which requires a serial key activated to something they call "MachineID". Though virtualizing the computername might not be enough to accomplish this I haven't got VirtualComputerName to work yet (I think).
When I include cmd.exe in the package and run it on another machine and type "echo %computername%" it returns the local computer name instead of the virtualized name I specified in package.ini.
Is this normal behavior or am I missing something here?
Hi there,
When running a portable application, a folder will be created and put some sub folder and files into it. When done with the application and try to erase the created folder, a message pops up saying:
"Cannot delete Registry.rw.tvr.t is being used by another person or program. Close any program that might be using the file"
Is there any way to resolve issue?
Best regards
Hello,
Does anyone know how to permanently delete old sandboxes in the \user\appdata\roaming\thinstall directory? If I delete them wait for some time for Persona to record changes,restart a new floating desktop, all of the sandboxes I deleted are back. These are to Thinapps that are no longer being served by View, and therefore the package was a test and has long been deleted itself. I now find my roaming profile filled with obsolete sandboxes, and one sandbox that causes my current Thinapp to fail so I need to get that one deleted as well. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi friends,
Recently I started my VMware course.I need to practice from home.Is it possible to install ESXi,Vcenter etc in a normal windows system?I have Dell inspiron laptop.If I can install,whats the hardware/software requirements?
Please help.
I'm having a licensing issue with Share Point Designer 2010. I have packaged it following the best practices here: Quick-start guide for deploying Office 2010 using ThinApp 4.6.1 | VMware ThinApp Blog - VMware Blogs
I'm launching the app inside of View, using Personas. The ThinApp works fine for a couple of days, then users start to see a pop-up at application launch saying SharePoint Designer 2010 cannot verify the license for the product. You should repair the office program by using Control Panel.
If I delete the persona for the effected user, they are able to use the application again normally. For a few days, then the issue returns. Has anyone seen this? There isn't a license for this product, per se, so I'm not sure what it's trying to check. Any advice?
Thanks for the help.
Capture notes:
Captured on XP 32-bit
Running on View Win 7 x64
This is my first experience with ThinApp and have questions to the experts here.
I finished the build process without any errors but I don't feel like it's completed successfully.
Here's why?
1. I used all the default setting and keep hitting next until about the last step when it asked you to build .msi and compressed the build. I checked those two boxes based on the youtube tutorial that I watched. But, when I open the "bin" folder, I do not see the .msi file.
Is that normal?
2. The Creative Suite Design Premium came with 14 applications such as Adobe BRIDGE, Device Central, DREAMWEAVER, ExtendScript Toolkit, Extension Manager, FIREWORKS, Flash Catalyst, Flash Professional, ILLUSTRATOR, INDESIGN, Media Encoder, PHOTOSHOP, Photoshop (64-bit), Pixel Binder Toolkit.
I picked those .exe files prior to the build process but when the build is done, I only see six application (Capitalized above).
Is that what it supposed to be? Not all application can be built as a ThinApp?
3. Maybe I need to rebuild it again. If I need to do that do I need to start from scratch again or I can just rebuild from the current capture files that I already have?
4. I was using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64-bit VM base image as my ThinApp 4.7.3 builder. Do I need to do all ThinApp building process on Windows XP instead? I'm not sure if 64-bit has anything to do with it or not. All of my VMware View desktop is using the same OS so I'm guessing I better use the same one?
Appreciate the feedback in advance.
Opening a support ticket would be my next step if I can't get help here.
Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone had managed to ThinApp TightVNC server?
I have rolled out a windows 7 version to a virtual desktop and get all of the icons that I need.
VNC viewer comes up fine, and I can even use the viewer from a virtual desktop to connect to my reference VM where TightVNC is installed (installed locally).
When I run VNC server (the thinapp version), it shows the icon in the system tray and also the IP address of the VMware View VDI VM, but when I try to connect to the VM via a thinapped viewer it prompts for the password but then nothing happens, and I eventually get the connection was gracefully shutdown.
The scenario is, we have a wallboard which comes from a desktop pool via a thinclient, and we need multiple users to be able to access the wallboard without killing the session on screen.
I didn't want to hard install VNC Server on to the desktop image because another pool uses the same image, and I also didnt want to create a separate desktop image (because that means its another desktop I have to keep up to date with patches), so the idea was to thinapp VNC server, run it, and then users could connect to it via the thinapp VNC Viewer (with AD rights applied).
The problem I think we have is that the thinapp version of VNC Server doesnt install the TightVNC Server service in to windows and that might be the issue, despite me being able to telnet to the port that VNC is using (5900)...
Anyone any suggestions?
Thanks!
We are using a native install Office 2010 on our desktops. We have a program that integrates with Office via VSTO. When we run Outlook the add-in shows as Inactive in Outlook. When we try to enable it we get the following error. I have included the vsto file in the thinapp build so you see the vsto file. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this working? I would rather not have to do a native install since our Office Suite has a dozen different add-ins.

Hello,
I have Horizon workspace 1.5 setup in our lab. When I try to sync thinapp applications with workspace, I get the folowing error.
Category: Import
Error: Error importing thinapp package. No exe/dat files.: ThinApp package: Firefox
Recommended actions:
Verify that at least one .exe/.dat file exists in the bin folder of the ThinApp package.
Verify that the package contains the "main data container" file.
I have configured the network share as "Thin-packager.vcloud.com\horizon apps\Adobe Reader X\Adobe Reader X.exe"
There is no bin folder and I have put both .exe and .dat files in the share.
Can somebody please help me with this?

Hello,
I have thinapped visio 2013, i followed the online guides.
When start the thinapp on another pc, the activaiton screen popus, wich offcourse make sense with a MAK key.
I do not want this screen to popup, so tried running a launch script (ospp.vbs /act) but within the thinapp the message: 'Error: The Software Protection Platform Service is not installed' appears. But i can run 'net start osppsvc' and succesfully start/stop the service within my thinapp.
Anyone an idea how to fix this?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have problems with virtualizing a video editing software Nero 7 Vision (4).
When I start the packaged App and I want to add video files I have problems to store temporary files.
I had a look at process monitor and there occured PATH NOT FOUND errors when the app tries to write to the install path C:\Nero7\Nero Vision\.
I tried to use the merged isolation mode for this directory but something goes wrong.
When you have a look at the attached screenshot you will see 3 windows. On the left side you can see that nothing is written to C:\.
In the middle you can see a file open dialogue of the app --> here the folder exists at C:\.
SandboxPath=. but on the right you can see that %drive_c% doesn't occur at the sandbox.
I don't know whats going wrong. But I think it is a Path/Permission problem.
Please can anyone give me a hint?
Nachricht geändert durch p2p_2 I have tested further: When Nero 7 is installed on a clean Win 7 32Bit the same problem occurs. So Nero 7 is not compatible with Win 7 because Nero Vision cannot import Video files. Before adding them the application tells it is not possible or it crashs. So but I thought lets test Nero 2014. Nero Vision is now called Nero Video. Nero Video runs well on Win 7 as supposed to do. BUT: The captured version of Nero 2014 Video has the same problem as Nero 7. It cannot import video files. You can download the trial of Nero 2014 and test it.
I just got done packaging some applications for thinapp and now found out that I needed the msi files
Is there a way to edit the package.ini file and re-run build.bat instead of having to start the process form scratch and select msi in the wizard.
Fingers crossed
We are in the middle of piloting VMware view for our virtual desktop.
We have a Windows 8.1 gold image with Office on and we thinapp all other apps.
The problem I am having is with file associations. I have read a lot of posts about thinreg, but that doesn't seem to work.
Our apps are registered in Programs and features (add/remove progs).
For example, Visio 2007. The user wants to double click on a vsd file and have it launch Visio.
The thinapps are on a network share.
Is it a Windows 8.1 problem? Can anyone else open a vsd file in Visio?
Steve.

I have a customer who downloaded and installed the 60-day Trial of ThinApp... by the 45th day or so, she liked it so much that she had
already virtualized about 3 dozen or so Apps... The License file was, of course, the Trial license...
Well, she just purchased and received her ThinApp "real" License, but not before the Trial one ran out... So now, every time she launches
a ThinApp'd app, she immediately gets a small screen that says, "License Error: Your Runtime License Has Expired"... She can only
click "OK", and that's it... Nothing else...
Where can I tell her to go, to input the new Production license file that she has just purchased, so that all her Apps "work" again?
Is she just hosed? Will she have to re-virtualize all those Apps again?
Thanks.
Hi.
I just created my first thinapp following the guide at vm blogs. Office 2007 is working fine but there is only 1 problem. The "Help" is not working. When I click the "?" icon at top right i get an error message after like 30 seconds "there are no help topics available that match your request" followed by a system report error (that thing that asks to send information to microsoft).
Does anyone have the same problem ? What could be causing it ?
Thanks
