Is there ANY way to use ThinApps with an .exe? I've been reading and noticed that the only thing it shows is .msi files.
Is it possible?

TeamViewer 10
Hi All,
We have had a request to virtualise Team Viewer, version 10 for some of our users.
It all seemed to go smoothly until we noticed that if a user exits the application by hitting the X, it prevents them from reopening the application until they either perform a full log off/on or end 2 processes in task manager.
If they exit using the menus in Team Viewer, it seems to end the processes too.
After some further investigation, it appears that there is a service created when the application is installed which was included in the thinapp but commented out. I have done a rebuild and removed the ; to include this which now creates the service on the users VM. However, it never starts, despite being set to automatic. I tried to manually start and it states it cannot find the file specified, no mention of what file though.
Has anyone else managed this application?
Thanks
Danny

ThinApp virtualized applications licensing
I've read the following:
VMware ThinApp Licensing information (1006248) | VMware KB
and I want to be sure I understand the licensing model. The "Per End Point" option means each application that is virtualized will count towards your license cap, correct? If I virtualize an application with the application virtualization packager, then distribute those applications to a number of endpoints, it's those applications that count towards the license cap (as opposed to the virtualization packager instance)?
If that is the case, how are the licenses enforced on endpoints that are not connected to the internet? When a virtualized application (a thinned application) is executed, does it check a license server? What happens if it can't reach said server (as in, not connected to the internet, etc.)?
I apologize if I've confused the concepts. Thanks in advance for the help.

Delete old Sandboxes in \Roaming\Thinstall
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.

Random error when launching thinstalled apps
I have a full suite of apps used by our call center thinstalled and functioning. After a little more testing in-house we are planning to roll out a full scale test box to be used for a couple of weeks to see what, if any issues pop up. However, at this point I am now getting some random pop-up errors when launching thinstalled apps.
The error I just got when launching Firefox:
"Executable 'C:\DOCUME1\user\LOCALS1\Temp\Exec.exe' had the following unrecoverable error:
failed to load C:\DOCUME1\user\LOCALS1\Temp\Exec.exe
I click on "OK", the error message goes away and the app continues to load as if nothing happened. There never appears to be any issues with the app after the error. Just curious why this error appears randomly.
It doesn't always happen and it doesn't matter which brand/make/type of PC the apps are installed on (I've tested on 4 different models so far).

Problem with microsoft roaming profile
I have noticed that when a user make a modification to one of key of the registry the modify value is written to the Registry.rw.tvr file in the sandbox. In my configuration the sandbox is in the user profile and I am using the micorsoft roaming profile.
My problem is that after the first modification (from the second) the file Registry.rw.tvr does not result modified and the microsoft roaming profile does not copy back the file to the roaming profile server. Wath appen is that at the following login the user can't see any of the modification to the registry the he has made after the first. Is there any solution to this problem?

Access 2007 - Windows is installing
Hi all,
I'm having a bit of trouble thinapping Access 2007, basically what is happening is after i've thinapped Access and have a database open, when you click anywhere on any cells a box is constantly coming up saying "Windows is installing" and just hanging at that.
I've followed the guide at http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2008/10/how-to-thinap-1.html but no luck whatsoever, i've tried thinapping it about 7 times but still having issues.
Please can somebody help me out with this?
Thanks a lot

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

Windows 10 Thinapps - Slow Launch on Thinapp 5.2
Fortunately we've made progress since Thinapp 5.2 enables support for Windows 10, however every package that we've rebuilt with Windows 10 has the same issue. It can take anywhere from 1 minutes to 3 minutes to actually open. Once open, the application appears to function normally.
Is anyone else seeing this? I can't seem to find any posts regarding this issue but for us its happening on physical and virtual windows 10 machines.
I haven't tried to fully repackage an application on 5.2 yet but hoping that won't be required.
Any advice would be appreciated, if not then I'll go ahead and see if we can start a ticket on it.

SAP GUI 7.10
Got a bit of a problem packaging SAP GUI 7.10 (and patch level 7) with ThinApp - can't open .SAP files directly.
We have entry points being SAPlgpad.exe (the SAP Login Pad - we've also done all of this with SAPLogon.exe instead as well), SAPgui.exe and the primary data store being a large .dat file, merged intsallation type, on Windows XP SP3, everything patched and up to date.
We can start SAP and run it correctly - so we startup via the SAPlgpad.exe and everything runs fine - can connect to the server, input information and do everything we need to do. If we click and DRAG the .SAP file into an already logged in instance of SAP then it executes correctly.What I believe might be happening is that when we run (double click or execute) a .SAP file, it loads up SAPgui.exe (like it's supposed to), then realises that the user needs to be logged in, so calls SAPLgpad.exe to login the user before executing the .SAP file. However, ThinApp seems to be passing the .SAP file directly to SAPlgpad.exe instead of passing a request to login the user. SAPlgpad.exe then doesn't know how to execute a .SAP file and so quits with an error.
I've logged a support call with VMWare about it, but I was wondering if anybody else had packaged SAP GUI 7.1 before and had anything similar to this problem, or whether it was just an issue with our setup?

can you upgrade an old thinapp to thinapp 4.0.4
I have some apps I did on an older version of thin app..
so they dont work on windows 7. I no longer have the package to just re compile, So Id have to repackage again.
There was mention at vmworld this year of having a tool to upgrade the older thin apps to the new version of thinapp that would
be windows 7 compatible.
Any one know of this tool or how I can take an older thinapp package and upgrade it to 4.0.4.xx and hopefully get it working on win 7 without having to repackage the app!
cheers

Help with capturing FRAPS screencap app with Thinapp?
I am experiencing trouble capturing a screen capture program called FRAPS in Windows VISTA. The program allows capture of screenshots and videos of DirectX or OpenGL applications (e.g., games).
I went through the capture process in a clean Virtual Machine of Vista. There was no error in the capture progress. The Thinapp .exe that is generated launched fine, but when I press the hotkey (as part of the capture program function), no screencap was saved.
Is there a problem with ThinApp dealing with client apps that directly relies on DirectX?

Windows cannot find javaw.exe when launching thinapp
Thanks for taking the time to help out a ThinApp first timer!
I am trying to ThinApp a program called Infranet Portal 6.5 because of its java dependencies.
After I build the ThinApp, copy the .exe to my desktop and try to run the application I receive the following error:
Windows cannot find 'C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\PORTAL~1\JRE\BIN\javaw.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
It seems that during the software installation the main program files go in the folder: C:\Program Files\Portal Software\CustomerCenter\ and the java files go in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Portal Software\JRE\bin
How do I direct the application to look at the javaw.exe without installing it locally on my workstation?
Here are the settings I have used during the ThinApp and I have attached a copy of the package.ini file that I have not made any changes to:
Using ThinApp 4.6
Entry Point chosen: "Customer Center.exe"
Groups Authorized: "Everyone"
Isolation: have tried both "Full write access" and "Restricted write access"
Sandbox: have tried both "user profile" and "same directory as the application"
Inventory name: "Customer Center 6.5"
Project Locations: "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\Captures\Customer Center 6.5"
Package Settings:
* Use one of the entry points: "Customer Center.exe"
* NO separate .DAT
* NO msi generation
* NO compression
Thanks to anyone that can assist me here!

I enbled MSI for this package and deployed to Windows 7 Enterprise OS (User Desktop) where Office 2010 installed but it failed to launch. Package configuration details as below
- Visio install to VisioStd.2K7 folder instead of C:\Programs Files\Microsoft Office\
- Visio License Type = MAK
- While packaging network disabled
- Used Office Customization Tool and create a MSP for silent install
- Visio is full install
- After package deleted $PatchCache$ from C:\Windows\Installer\
- If I delete MSOCache Folder then it failed to launch. Enclosed the attachment for this (Microsoft Office Visio Std 2007.zip)

Don't know what I am missing...
I attached the error message here and the package.ini (package.txt) file. This is our critical application.
Could someone please let me know the best practice to package this successfully.
Thanks,
