I can successfully create the thinapp'd program , however when i run it, it opens partially so i can see part of the program but crashes whenever i try to do anything.

is this just one of those types of apps that you cant portable'ize?

What can be wrong?

Hi.

I have create file associations for few thinapped applications (Adobe Reader, Microsoft Word).

First file is opened as expected. But next time I click on file it start new process of

thinapped application, after few seconds it closes and file opens in existing windows.

It is significantly slows down opening files in thin application.

Is it normal operation? Is there any way to open files in existing window (process) at once?

ThinApp - Paint.NET problem.

Hello,

 

We have tried packaging Paint.NET but it did not work. We used a clean virtual machine while doing that but the resulting .exe file does not even work on the virtual machine although Paint.NET works on it.

 

.NET is packaged together with Paint.NET. The error is:

 

"Missing Import C:\Prpgram Files\paint.net\SxS\X86\ucrtbase.dll -> kernelbase.dll:CreateProcessA"

 

We have also tried copying .dll files in different directories but it is still not working.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Note: Same problem with TortoiseSVN.

Did anybody successfully thinapp office 2016?

Hi all

Today I tried to package office 2016 (with KMS). But somehow the licensing made some problems.

I tried the guides of 2013 (Guide) and 2010 (Guide) but either didn't help.

 

Was anyone able to do this successfully (with KMS)?

Hi,

since about 5 years we work with a MS Word 2003 ThinApp without much troubles. But since a few month, when we start the Word_ThinApp, it starts new threats over and over again, up until Word is crashing.

This happens with Wiindows 7, not with e.g. Windows 10 (but we are unable to upgrade all machines).

Any tipp around?

Windows 10 Thinapps - Slow Launch on Thinapp 5.2

$
0
0

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.

Office 2013 - Outlook previewer not working

$
0
0

Wonder if anyone can help, bit of a weird one, I have successfully thinapped Office 2013 and it appears to be working fine except for one thing, the previewer in Outlook will not work, when you click on an attachment to preview it either comes up with "unable to load dll oart.dll ... access denied" or the following message "This file can't be previewed because ofan error in the Microsoft Word previewer", the access denied message has me wondering but that dll is present in the captured package in the Office15 folder.


Please see details of the thinapp:


- Office Standard 2013 32bit captured on Windows 7 vanilla 32bit, straight capture, no plugins etc

- Steaming to Window 7 64bit (not sure if that is an issue? everything I've read said it should be fine streaming Office 32bit to Windows 7 64bit)

- Using ThinApp 5.1.0

- Outlook previewer is working fine locally on the thinapp machine

- I'm only testing the previewer on other Office documents (word, excel etc)


This is a minor issue but our users will be expecting the previewer to be working.


Any ideas?

VBScript to copy file to sandbox, not virtual file system

$

Wondering if anyone can help, I have a VBScript which is attempting to copy a folder to the local sandbox but it keeps copying to the virtual file system, is there a way around this? I have implemented a msgbox to verify the path I have specified and it's given me the location of the local sandbox but when it copies the folder it copies to %AppData%/Local on the virtual file system. Hope my explanation makes sense. I'm assuming the redirect is by design.

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

Firefox not responding

$

Using thinapp 4.5,

vmware workstation and plain windows XP OS (just OS only) I have

thinapped the latest version of Firefox 3.6.2 to see if thinapp will

work for one of my customers needs. On the test machine the app will be

running on I have got the following: Windows Server 2008 Standard 32-bit

with Active directory. We have it pretty locked down and have the

profile setup so that it maps all user folders over to a windows 2008

file server (
servername\USERNAME\...). The users profile is built from

a roming profile since they use Quest Networks Profile management for

profile storage. Now when I launch Firefox from the file server it loads

fine but It does a lot of not responding and then when it responds and I type in a URL

such as http://www.msn.com and press the enter key, nothing happens. The

enter key doesnt even respond. I even tried clicking on the green right arrow that appears in the right side of the URL bar when you enter in a URL and it stops responding for a bit then comes back and nothing happens, it doesnt go to the URL at all.

 

Now this appears to only occur in

the users profile, since I logged in as an Administrator and it worked

fine like it should and seemed a little more responsive. The server has some locked down elements from the

Active Directory Profile (it being joined to a computer group that has

the Computer Configuration sections modified).

 

Is it AD or is it because everything is using profiles and UNCs?  I need to get the

thinapp apps working correctly with these locked down profiles of the

users. I have included the log from the ThinApp Logging Utility, what caught my eye was the end of the file, not sure what it means though...

[Best Practice] VMware ThinApp 5 and Office 2013

 

Ever since I got my hands on ThinApp 5, I've been trying to thinapp Office 2013. I've tried it in various ways and I think I should give something back to the forum by sharing my experience.

I captured Office 2013 by following this guidebut also did some tweaking and tuning by myself.

 

Let's start!

 

  1. Extract the Microsoft Office 2013 installation files.
  2. Edit the config.xml file located in the suite.WW directory where suite is the suite of Office you are installing. i.e. for professional plus it's proplus.ww
  3. Add these lines to the bottom of the file above </ Configuration>
    • For KMS licensing activation:

      <Setting Id="KMSSERVICENAME" Value="kmsserver.domain.com"/>
      <Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1"/>

      Note: Replace kmsserver.domain.com with your KMS server name.

    • For MAK licensing activation:

      <PIDKEY Value="AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEE"/>
      <Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1"/>
      <Setting Id="USEROPERATIONS" Value="1"/>

      Note: Replace AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEE with your MAK information.

  4. Run the Setup Capture wizard and take a prescan.
  5. If the deployment operating systems do not all have the same version of .NET installed, capture .NET. For more information, seePackaging guide for .NET (2069188).
  6. Start the Microsoft Office 2013 setup wizard.
  7. Click Customize for the type of installation.
  8. Click Microsoft Office> Run all from My Computer or do your own customization and choose the specific tools you want to install.
  9. Click Install Now.
  10. Launch an Office component, disable auto updates, run through the welcome assistant and do any other customization.
    • For faster startup of Excel, Word and PowerPoint, do this:
      • Go into options of each application
      • Untick the option "Show the Start screen when this application starts"
    • Note: When you start an office application it will log you on with the windows account you're currently working with which in my case was the domain admin.
      This shouldn't bother you at this point as I will you show you how to get rid of this later on.
  11. Stop the OSPP service.
  12. Take a Postscan.
  13. If required, modify the Inventory name.
  14. Open the file HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt and edit it as shown:
    • Add to the bottom of the file:

      isolation_full HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsSearch\Preferences
      Value=PreventIndexingOutlook
      REG_DWORD=#01#00#00#00"


  15. Now, to remove the admin account open the file HKEY_CURRENT_USER.txt and edit it as shown:
    1. Search for common\identity
    2. If you want to remove the account and also prevent your users from logging in with their AD accounts, do this:
      • Delete all lines that have to do anything with HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity
    3. If you just want to remove your "setup account" but keep the ability to let your users log in, do this:
      • Delete all lines and that have anything to do with your "setup account" but keep these:
        • isolation_full HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity
          Value=Version
          REG_DWORD=#01#00#00#00
          Value=FederationCacheExpiration
          REG_SZ~2014-02-27T09:49:34Z#2300
        • isolation_full HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\DocToIdMapping
        • isolation_full HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\Identities
        • isolation_full HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\Profiles
      • I've attached a before and after file example for further explanation
  16. Build the project.

 

There's one thing though I haven't been able to work out.

Whenever I add a required applink in the file Package.ini, Office fails to start any application. Instead, a screen pops up where Office tries to install an "Office Feature" but fails to do so and then just quits.

Has anyone been able to add applinks for Office 2013?

 

Regards

Thinapp 5.2.1 and Windows 10

I have a problem with virtualized applications with ThinApp 5.2.1 and Windows 10. In other operating systems work perfectly, but in Windows 10 gives me the following error: " ThinApp has encountered an unexpected error. Click Abort to close the application, Retry to debug, or Continue to ignore the error. Support info PID=3564, create_process.cpp@1949.

They are compatible with the virtualized ThinApp Applications in Windows 10 ?


Thanks for the help
