Running multiple versions of Acrobat Reader

$
0
0

Is there a way to get multiple versions of Acrobat Reader to run at the same time. We have some old legacy apps that require Acrobat Reader 4? We have created a thinapp package for Acrobat Reader 8 and it works great. However, we can not run both Acrobat Reader 4 and Acrobat Reader 8 (thinapp) at the same time. If Acrobat Reader 8 (thinapp) is running and you try to open Acrobat Reader 4, it opens Acrobat Reader 8. If I close Acrobat Reader 8 (thinapp), then we are able to open Acrobat Reader 4.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi all ,no need to mention that I love this forum and the help I got from its member,thank you all.

 

 

The question is this , what are the entry points needed in JDK 6 in order for an IDE like net beans or INtellij Idea to use them with no problem .

 

 

I allready packaged net beans with success  but only the application ,is it possible to package the application and the JDK 6 at the same time so you dont need to download JDK 6 on every computer ?

 

 

Intellij Idea was packaged but is very slow  to open and takes time dont know why .

 

 

Thanks for everyone contribution for an answer.....

Hello,

 

 

Has anybody tried to Thinapp the Adobe Captivate Software?

 

 

Captivate is a screen capturing software.Is there any chance to thinapp these kind of applications?

 

 

The thinapped ca<span class="908492608-24092009">ptivate starts correctly but when I want to capture the screen the application doesn't responds, and makes the PC hang.

 

 

Where can I start the debugging?

 

 

Best Regards, Albert

I have tried adding a .vbs-file in the project's root sometimes, but It always results in that the application gets probiem with dlls after the script has been parsed..

 

Here, I attempt to create an exception the Windows Firewall before the application starts. It works, but when the main entrypoint starts, it wines about missing ocx/dlls.. Have I missed somethin obvous?

 

 

Function OnFirstSandboxOwner

     ExecuteExternalProcess("netsh firewall add allowedprogram z:\apps\app.exe ThinApp")

End Function

 

Function OnLastProcessExit

 

     ExecuteExternalProcess("netsh firewall delete allowedprogram z:\apps\app.exe ThinApp")

End Function

ThinApp "APPCRASH" issue. Our internal Lab product's ThinApp fails on Windows 7 and windows 2008R2.

We have our internal products and we are working on to make them as ThinApp. One of our product is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2 (compatible with all windows x86 and x64 OS). We are using ThinApp original license (tied up with VMWare) to create ThinApps.

 

The error is following:

These are the following inputs I'm providing here:

1. ThinApp of this product works fine on Windows XP (ThinApp created using XP box) without any issues.

2. If we create ThinApp of this product on Windows 7 and on Windows 2008R2, the above error we get.

3. We have checked that the folder "C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Roaming\Thinstall\Application Folder" is cleared.

4. ThinApp is captured sucessfully, because the above config laboratory.exe is running in sand box but after building the exe which comes in bin folder is not running, so the problem is after build only.

5. We are using original thinapp license, no trial.

 

Any suggestion would be appreciated very much.

 

Thanking You,

Capturing DCOM services

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!!!

IE9 thinapp with Oracle Jinitiator does not work with vMware Horizon Agent 6.2

Hello,
i have a problem with vmware horizon view AGENT 6.2v. I have vMware horizon 6.2v installed. I am using windows 7 32bit OS. I have thinapp IE9 and Oracle Jinitiator 1.3.1.13v. My IE9 with Jinitiator is thinapped with thinapp v5.0. Allways everything worked fine with vMware Horizon agent 6 ; 6.1 ; 6.1.1 but with 6.2 agent i have a problem. I can not install

agent 6.2v into vdi, because it crashes IE9 thinapp. So i have to use older 6.1.1 agent. I have never had to re-thinapp my application, because it allways worked fine unitl now. I have tried to make new thinapp application with newest thinapp v5.1.1, but IE9 with Jinitiator still crashes.

 

My application does not work with IE10; IE11 because it is very old. It only worked with IE9.

 

I make these steps to thinapp:
Start thinapp / prescan
Check internet explorer entry points: include an entry point for system-installed Internet explorer
Install full offline IE9 32bit
Restart thinapp pc
Start gpedit.msc Computer configuration / Administrative tamplates / Windows components / Internet Explorer / Security Features Turn off data execution prevention. I choose ENABLE.
Start IE choose Use recommended security ant compatibility settings
Tools / Internet Options / Default homepage  http://zzz.somehomepage.lan:...
Tools / Compatibility view settings using Add button i add  somehomepage.lan adress
Reopen IE and choose turn on intranet settings YES (Are you sure you want to turn on intranet-level security settings?)
IE starts downloading and installing Oracle Jinitiator 1.3.1.13v (i use this version) from server http://zzz.somehomepage.lan:... Jinitiator installation is completed successful.
Postscan
Use seperate .DAT file
Generate MSI package.

 

When i start thinapp i get error in IE9 webpage field:
res://ieframe.dll/acr_error.htm#somehomepage.lan,http://zzz.somehomepage.lan:...

 

When i search google i find that i have a problem with IE add-on. But i need this add-on. With every vmware horizon view

agent version it worked ok, but with 6.2 agent it crashes. I am using linked clones vdi. What do i have to do?

ThinApp 5.2.2 Win10 slow Application startup

Hi,

 

I've tried the new 5.2.2 version that should resolve this trouble but the start up delay seems to be the same as with 5.2.1.

I captured the application both in Win7 and Win10 with same results. So is there any "tricks" to enable a "quick" start up on Win10 with 5.2.2?

ThinApp 5.2.2 - Capture IE8 from Windows XP x64

$

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.

Assigning file type associations and active registry settings...

$
0
0

 

Hello everyone,

 

 

I've been evaluating the VMWare ThinApp trial and reviewing the documentation but I still need assistance with the following:

 

 

1. Could someone help me on how to make file associations? For example, if I made a virtualized application of Adobe Photoshop CS3, how do I get Adobe Photoshop CS3 to launch if I click on a .psd file? Moreover, I would like to have this "built in" and not have to manually assign it after the application has been built.

 

 

2. Active registry settings... Currently I have an application that assigns current user registry settings via Active Registry Setup every time a DIFFERENT user logs in to a workstation. The name of the application is called Endnote in which a toolbar is installed in Microsoft Word 2007 for each user that logs in. I already have the registry keys created for this if i were to physically install the application to Program Files... However is there a way to make this work for a virtualized version of Endnote?

 

 

Many thanks,

 

 

Al

 

 

 

 

 

Hyperlink in Office 2000

Hello everybody,

 

 

end-users are trying to create a hyperlink in their thin-apped Excel (also Word) 2000.  If you create a hyperlink to a xls file (within Excel) then it fails to open.  When you create a hyperlink from Excel to for example word then it opens fine.

 

 

Exactly the same problem in Word.  When you create a hyperlink within Word to another Word document, it does nothing.  When we create a link to an excel doc, it works fine.

 

 

Can someone simulate this problem ? Or even better... Give a solution for this problem ?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Trouble with Winhlp32 (Windows Help Application)

$

I wanted to ask out there if anybody else experienced issues with the Windows Help Application when launching a help file from within a thinapped application. My problem is when using an application called Pinnacle (which uses the Omnis runtime) I click the help file and if you watch process monitor you see that it attempts to run "C:\Windows\System32\Winhlp32.exe axis.hlp" which is the command to use the Windows Help application to launch its help file. The help file never opens no matter how many times I try. I attempted to try and place the Winhlp32.exe which there is one in C:\windows and C:\windows\system32 in the virtual %SystemSystem% and %SystemRoot% so that when launching winhlp it would use the virtual version instead of the native but instead I now get a "Unable to open main container" error when lanching the help file.

 

So if anybody else had bad experiences or best practices with dealing with hlp files let me know, I"m thinking this issue could come up in all different kinds of applications.

.dat or .msi in ThinReg logon script?

$

When I create a ThinApp, I create an msi, and sometimes ThinApp creates the .dat file instead of the .exe. I am a little confused as to which to put into my login script that runs ThinReg. Do I put \\server\path\xxx.dat or \\server\path\xxx.msi ? Or does it matter? Thank you.

Run As Service

I was wondering if anyone has run into this problem. After ThinApp'ing the Cisco Historical Reporting Client application on a vanilla Windows XP virtual machine, I can't get it start on any other systems. It always gives the error:

 

 

StartInteractiveClientProcessW: Failed to start logon service... Pls ensure you start the Run As service is installed and not disabled.

StartInteractiveClientProcessW: Failed to launchW the process in the client's logon session due to (Error 120):This function is not supported on this system.

 

 

The key part definitely seems to be related to a "Run As" service. I'm just not sure what this is or where it's at or if it's something that can be virtualized with the app...

 

I'm running VMware 4.7.3-891762...

 

Thanks!

ThinApp of Java 7 Update 45

I created a thinapp of Java 7 Update 45, following the instructions from the ThinApp Blog, and the msi installs fine. I can see it in Programs and Features in Control Panel, and the About Java start menu item appears and opens showing me that it is Java 7 Update 45. Unfortunately, my browsers are not aware that it is installed, the installation is not recognized by "verify your java installation" on the java webpage nor on javatester.org. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this to work? I'm not sure what to check or change. Thank you.

Native Office 2010 and Outlook VSTO Add-In

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.
