Thinapp 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 crashes with application - Thinapp 5.0 works fine

$

I recently tried to package a medical software package called MediConnect 2.8.

 

The Thinapp package was made with Thinapp 5.2.1.

When starting the package after the build, the application crashed with the following error:

I tried to redo the package using different settings, but to no avail.

Then I rebuild the package using the older Thinapp 5.0 and the package works fine.

 

I have had the same problem with Thinapp 5.2.1 in the past with the Microsoft Dynamics 2012 sofware.

Would not work at all and crashes at startup.

 


Today, I tried the same with the new Thinapp 5.2.2 but infortunately, the result is the same.


Does anyone have any idea why the current versions of Thinapp seem to be less stable and trouble-free than the previous ones?


White screen in thinapp of Firefox, thinapp not working - Firefox version 50 and higher

$

Hi everyone,

we're experiencing another problem with the thinapp of Firefox; since Mozilla Firefox 50.x, the thinapp the packaged application only shows a white screen, even without the menubar.

 

We've seen this problem in Firefox versions 50.0.2, 50.1.0, 51.0 and 51.0.1.

Thinapps of Firefox versions 49.0.2 and lower, work fine.

 

We've tried:
- 32b Firefox
- 64b Firefox
- Thinapp 5.2.2
- Thinapp 5.1.0
- base image (only OS)
- production image
- and all combinations of the above

 

Our OS is Windows 7 (Enterprise N), SP1, 64b.

 

As a build option in the package.ini, necessarry since Firefox version 49.x, we added
ExternalDLLs=ucrtbase.dll

 

We ran LogMonitor but couldn't identify the problem.

 

Does anyone encounter the same issues?
And if so, and when solved, what was the solution to the problem?

 

I attached a printscreen of the empty/white firefox screen and the LogMonitor-file.

Does anyone have an idea to the solution?


Thanks

3. During configuraiton: created URL shortcut on desktop. Did configuration as mentioned in above link.

4. Updated Package.ini with MSIstreaming=1 property

5. Post-Scan and Build. Results came in Bin folder

    a. .DAT file

    b. .Exe File

ThinApp iTunes 9.2.1.5 problem

$

A little help if you please...

 

 

I am trying to make iTunes 9.2.1.5 portable. I have a fresh install of windows xp in a vmware image. I do a prescan, install iTunes. I use the options I believe are correct. I then follow the instructions that others have listed in regards to iTunes (thanks to DelphiOne and all the others ). I edit the registry, copy over the modified dll and then build the project.

 

 

At that point I run the app on the virtualized windows and get an error message  "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes".

 

 

I have tried the different options in the thinapp wizard but have yet to find the right combination to make the application run at all. I keep getting the error message I listed above.

 

 

If anyone could list the options they used to get the app to run I would be very grateful. For instance, what to use as entry points (i tried selecting all and also selecting just iTunes), which isolation mode to use (tried both settings),  what to use as the primary data container and so on.

 

 

Thanks to all in advance,

 

 

cheers.

 

 

kodos.

Problem with capturing Techsmith Snagit 9

$

I've been trying to Thinapp Snagit 9 and I'm running into some issues.  By default, Snagit wants to install its own print driver -- this caused the app to crash on startup.  After figuring that one out, I removed the snagit printer from the install and now I can get the main SnagIt program to load, but the Snagit Editor crashes every time you attemp to perform a screen capture or launch it manually.  I get the following error:

 

 

"Failed to initialize the SnagIt datastore.  Make sure the sqlce dlls are in the SnagIt directory."

 

 

I double checked to make sure all the same sqlce dlls are in the capture as were in the original install -- and they are.  Anybody run into this before?

"Call Shell" command problem in VBA - thinapped ms access path not recognized

$

We have an Access 97 Database that was developed on a PC with a locally installed version of Office 97

 

One of the functions of this database includes a button on a form that conditionally opens any one of a number of other Access databases (mdbs) depending on user input. To do this it uses the Call Shell function... e.g. 

 

if condition = x then

call shell ("c:\program files\microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe ""path.mdb""",1)

 

this process runs fine on pc's with locally installed MS Office 97, but fails on pc's that run thinapped versions of Office 97.

We figure its the path to the access executable that is causing the problem, because the pc's running thinapp obviously don't have a c:\program files\microsoft...... path

 

what should the syntax be to launch the thinapp access executable ?

Hi everybody,

 

I tried to virtualize outlook 2010. When I launch it for the first time on my computer all works! But If I restart my computer, outlook try to configure himself again and I've got an error :

Error 1719: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed...

And in the windows  event viewer  i've got a warning: MSIINSTALLER -- failed server connexion : error 0x80070002

I have found this solution :

 

modify before building the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.TXT file and add the following:

isolation_full HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer

Value=ImagePath

REG_EXPAND_SZ~"%SystemSystem%\msiexec.exe" /V#2300

 

But il didn't work, another solution was to start the msi service but it didn't work...

 

I don't know what to do , so please help me

Acrobat X Pro ThinApp possible?

$
0
0

I have successfully thinapped acrobat x pro and the virtual application launches perfectly fine. The problem I'm running into is tripping the prompt to enter the install key or use it in trial mode. The real installation is installed with a valid installation key and is activated. But that activation either doesn't carry over or is not captured during the thinapp process. Adobe obviously has changed their activation process from acrobat 9 to acrobat 10. I was wanting to see if any one has tried thinapping this application yet or has any advice.

Has anyone Thinapped Synapse for W7?

The capture was taken on a 32bit XP machine. Synapse is working fine for XP 32 bit OS. But for W7 32 bit it will not work. I get the information bubble indicating that it is reaching the vm thinapp capture then nothing happens. I attched the bubble or notification screen.

 

Thanks!

SAP GUI Excel export

$

So I have my SAP LogonPad presented to my Linked Clones with ThinApp and everything is working great except for one thing. When using the export to excel function of reports, the file is being created in the proper location but Excel is not being opened with that file. The user can manually open excel and find the file, but I would really like to have the automation back that exists when everything is native installed. Office is native installed, and the OS is Win 7 x64. I'm wondering if the problem is that a) SAP was captured on Win XP and b) Office was not installed when SAP was captured.

Im wondering, even though it kinda goes against how a ThinApp should be captured, I should capture SAP on the master VM for the Linked Clones?  Office is installed, and the OS is obviously the same, but the drawback would be that this ThinApp capture could only be used on my Linked Clones and no where else.

Anyone have any thoughts or insight for me?

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?

DWG True View 2015 ThinApp launches with error on Zero-Client

Hi all,

 

I captured Autodesk DWG-TrueView 2015 64bit on a Win 7 x64 machine. The build was completed without any error.

 

However when I run the ThinApp on a Zero-Client with Win 7 x64 and net-Framework 4.5.1 on it the thinapp either won't launch, hangs or quits shortly after the start with the following error:

 

An Autodesk product failed to send the required value for UPITOKEN.

The error report sent to Autodesk may be incomplete.

 

In the Autodesk Forum I found the following thread DWG TrueView 2013 crash after loading DWG - Autodesk Community but all the proposed solutions didn't help me.

 

I installed Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages beginning with 2008 up to 2012. Neither doing so before nor after the prescan helped. The same with Net-Framework 4.5 which is in my Master-Image.

 

Using this recipe  Autodesk DWG TruView 2014 I successfully captured DWG TruView 2014 which is perfectly fine for now. My fear is that in a few weeks time I need the 2015 version because someone from outside sends us a document which can only be opened in the 2015 version.

 

Anyone successfully captured True View 2015?

ThinApp Issue On Win 7 64bit OS (EAccessViolation)

$

Hey Guys,

 

Having an issue with ThinApp v5.  I have been capturing Macro Scheduler (mjtnet.com) for quite a while, however recently I have run into an issue on Windows 7 64bit our image at work.  I get the below error when running the application.

 

It is only when running that application packaged under ThinApp, I can run the application outside of ThinApp and it works fine.  I can run that ThinApp package on other machines, Win 7 32 bit, and 64bit.  However I can't understand why this fails to run on various Win7 64bit images.  Any suggestions?

 

---------------------------

Application Error

---------------------------

Exception EAccessViolation in module msched.exe at 0004FA07.

 

Access violation at address 0044FA07 in module 'msched.exe'. Read of address 88000008.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

 

Spoke to MacroScheduler and they have advised that packaging the application via ThinApp is outside of their support and are unable to help.  The error doesn't mean anything to them.  I can run older versions of the package on the machine that were packaged with older versions of ThinApp.

 

Any suggestions as to what I could do to further investigate / resolve the issue?

 

I also have an issue with another application running on this 64bit image.  FastStone Screen Capture in the editor screen I am unable to click on the menu buttons.  Native app I can, ThinApp I can't the button presses but doesn't do anything when its ThinApp'd.

OCX Files in ThinApp 5.1.1

$
0
0

I'm using ThinApp 5.1.1-2722044

 

In the release notes for this version it says that OCX files are now registered. However I've captured an application which upon launch fails with the error CodeJock.DockingPane.Unicode.v11.2.2.ocx or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

 

During the capture, I can launch the installed application correctly without error.

 

After the packaging, I can launch the virtual application on the capturing machine without error.

 

If I launch the virtual application on a different machine, it errors as above, and if I roll the capture virtual machine back to a pre-install snapshot, it also generates the error.

 

So it does seem that OCX files are part of the install and ThinApp has missed them.

 

Any ideas how to go about resolving this one?

Help! Application installed natively runs fine but thinapp'd version does not run. Will run on 64-bit targets but not 32-bit targets.

Hello everyone, I am stuck with this mind boggling issue so hoping one of you guys can help with your expertise. What is happening is I've captured a 32-bit version of java on a 32-bit Windows server 2003 (same build as a citrix PS server, which is why we are using this machine). Natively calling javaws works like a charm webapp opens fine no issues. The completed thinapp looks like it trys to call java I get the java splash screen then closes.

 

We use a lot of java apps in our company and I have always followed these steps and have had no issues :

 

1. Start from new snapshot - absolute clean nothing but thinapp installed.

2, Install the java verision we use (java7.9 in this case)

3. Create a shortcut calling javaws and pointing to our .jnlp file

4. Test shortcut and it does work natively.

5. post-scan and build

 

When I try and run the final build .exe I see Java 7 starting and closes in task manager you see the process start and close with no errors, nothing.

 

I test the exact same thinapp on a 64-bit win7 machine and it runs fine... which leaves me to believe it's some sort of setting within the package.ini that I am missing. I've attached a copy of our package.ini for viewing.

 

All help is truly appreciated.

 

EDIT* Am using Thinapp version 5.2.1
