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.

Hi everyone,

we're experiencing a problem with the thinapp of Firefox; since Mozilla Firefox 49.0, the thinapp process of the packaged application kills after a couple of seconds after starting the entrypoint. The problem occurs in 49.0 and 49.0.1 (x64).

We ran LogMonitor but couldn't identify the problem.

I copied he most important entries in the trace file into the end of this discussionentry.

Does anyone encounter the same issues?

And if so, and when solved, what was the solution to the problem?

Does anyone have an idea to the solution?

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the pop-up that appears in the bottom right corner of the screen when starting a ThinApp application? I've been searching through the documentation and the internet and I haven't seen anything on this.

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.

Hello,

I am trying to ThinApp Mozilla Firefox v52 using ThinApp v5.2.2.

This is on a Windows 7 VM.

When I try to launch the ThinApp on my Windows 7 workstation, I receive an error that reads...Missing Import C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\ucrtbase.dll->kernelbase.dll:CreateProcessW.

Does anyone know how to correct this? I currently have Firefox v49 ThinApp'd and it works fine, but the newer versions have this issue.

Many thanks for any help you can provide!!

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

Hello:

Are there some guidelines or best practices for capturing Chrome and Firefox?  The reason I am asking is that we are having a bunch of issues with each.  In more detail:

Chrome: We thinapped the latest version of Chrome, without any additional plugins, with and without the --no-sandbox option per the KB article here:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2104409VMware KB: Google Chrome fails when capturing Google Chrome with VMware ThinApp

This one works fine on the initial run, but after it is closed and opened a second time, it will not work properly after that.  It crashes, then upon re-launching it will consume 100% cpu and its window never opens even though the process is running.  If I clear the Thinapp sandbox folder for Chrome, it will open up fine for the first time, but when opening a second time the same issue comes back.

Firefox: We thinapped the latest version of Firefox, along with the latest Java 1.8.x, latest Flash, and VMware client integration plugin.  It worked fine for about a week then all of a sudden one day it no longer launches (and we haven't changed anything) with the error: Fatal Application Exit, Unable to Open.

I've been looking around and the information is fragmented.  I've seen posts with similar issues in the past but supposedly they were resolved with later versions of the Thinapp setup capture program which we are using the very latest and greatest version (5.1.1).  To my knowledge we are using best practices and using a bare minimum Windows 7 VM to capture with.  Any help would be appreciated, if there have been known working solutions or combinations of versions that work.

Thanks in advance.

I have tried several time to Thinapp Google Chrome (version 15.0.874.121 m) but keep running into problems. I will run the prescan, then install flash player and java, then install chrome and make the changes i need to for the broweser, then run the postscan. i choose the top google chrome.exe as my main entry point and unselect everything else, then build my package. I build it with a .DAT and a .MSI package. i then copy the packages out to our file server and then try to run them from a view desktop and i get the following error "Google Chrome.exe - Fatal Application Exit Unable to open. I press OK to the message and it dissapears. i have tried to build the package with multiple entry pointes to see if it works with no luck. I have even tried to package it using the .EXE instead of .DAT. Can someone please walk me through the steps needed to get chrome thinapped? The simpler the steps the better i will be able to understand.

Thanks

Using virtual XP machine with nothing installed on it to build my packages

Greetings -

I've successfully Thinapp both Adobe Reader (9.5.1 and X 10.1.3) and Office 2010 SP1 Standard (KMS activated). The VM on which they were thinapp-ed is Windows 7 32-bit and ThinApp was version 4.7.1.

I've used applink to set Adobe Reader as child app for Office -> the idea behind this is to allow users to open and preview documents in Outlook.

Also I've used applink to set Office as child app for AdobeReader -> the idea behind this is to allow users to send as email an opened PDF document.

Note that Adobe is also a child for a thinapp Firefox 12.0 (which works fine).

Case 1: PDF preview in Outlook:

-> if I double click an attachment pdf file, it opens succesfully in adobe.

-> but if I want to preview the same PDF file, it throws a "PDF Preview Handler for Vista error".

I tried with both Adobe Reader 9 and X. I even tried with both Reader X and Office thinapp-ed together (integrated no applink, in this case it does work on the thinapp VM both not on the destination one).

Case2: Send as email in Adobe Reader:

-> if I open a PDF from desktop and click the send as email option it throws a "No Outlook Profiles have been created"

-> if I open an attachment PDF in Outlook I can succesfully use the send as email option.

I thought there might be some isolation issues and played a little bit with some registry values, but without any success.

Thanks,

Adrian

Dear all,

we are searching the correct way to ThinApp Mozilla FireFox version 45, we've tried everything that we found in internet, any user guide ..but it was useless.. no one of this works well.

Each time we want to start Adobe Flash Player version test, on this link https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html, we get this error;

************************************

Unable to load DLL

C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerPugin_21_0_0_213.exe -> COMDLG32.dll

Access Denied.

************************************

We also tried to ThinApp Adobe Flash Player separately and link it to the project through package.ini with command "OptionalAppLinks=plugins\*.exe" but for Firefox doesn't work, it works very well for Internet Explorer.

As last test we've tried to install directly on base image on local machine but we get the same error message.

There are some suggestions ?

Hi

I'm working with a click once app that requires you to logon to a webpage first and then have the link on the webpage launch the app. This means I can't open the clickonce app directly, because there is session token that is passed from the website to the click once app. In a last attempt to get this to work with Horizon View application pools I'm trying to put it in a thinapp. The problem is I've captured internet explorer 10 and that works as expected, and I've tried to capture the dot net framework 4.5 as well. When  I launch the click once app , I get a message that "ClickOnce has stopped working" and the event is CLR20r3 and it references dfsvc.exe, System.Drawing, and System.ArgumentException. Has anyone seen something similar?

If I set ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=External  I don't get that error, but that's because its using the local dot net framework.

Hi, this my first post on the VMWare forum and i'll like to know how to make Sony vegas pro 14 executable from an USB stick using thinapp

I will be very happy if anyone could help me with that because i need it for high school

(DLLs missing):

-MSVCP110.dll

-MSVCR110.dll

-VCOMP110.dll

P.S.: i'm french so my english is not perfect, sorry in advance...

We have MS Office installed locally and MS Visio ThinApp'd. If I open a Visio document in Sharepoint all is fine and Visio launches. However, if I choose to edit the Visio document, Word launches and when I close Word, Visio launches.

Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Package Environment:

Clean Windows 7 German SP1 (32Bit)

Production Environment:

WIndows 7 German SP1 (32Bit)

Office 2010 natively installed

.NET 4 natively installed

After downloading and installing the new Version 4.7.1 I tried to package Sharepoint Designer 2010 SP1 on a Windows 7 32Bit SP1 German language platform.

I followed all the suggested steps like copy the deleted lines into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE text file, and added our KMS server to the config.xml within SharePointDesigner.WW. and all the other things mentioned.

KMS ist available and reachable (ping and rdp tested).

I also made sure that the Office Software Protection Service is stopped before the post scan.

I tried also to install the App-V package from Microsoft and configured the Sharepoint Designer before doing the prescan (offvirt.msi SPD=1).

But I still get the Licensing issue :-(

By the way: Since version 4.6.0 Visio and Project 2010 SP1 are running as thinapps beside a natively installed Office 2010 without any issues (not looking on cross over functions :-)).

It has just worked doing the following steps:

1.) App-V installed and regsitered Visio and Project (OffVirt.msi VISIOPREM=1 PRJPRO=1)

2.) Prescan

3.) Installed Visio/Project with SP1

4.) Start Visio / Project

5.) Stop the Office Software Protection Service

6.) Postscan

=> Both Visio and Project working fine beside the native installed Office 2010!

My orginal app .exe needs to inject into Explorer.exe, but after i thinapp it when it goes to inject into Explorer.exe it crashes it and the .exe fails to work..

is there any kind of parameter or setting i can use for my .exe to be able to inject into Explorer.exe  without crashing it..??

Good afternoon.

I am experiencing difficulties getting this ThinApp to work properly.

1. When trying to add text to a PDF through the edit function, after the first character is typed I get an error: "No dictionaries were found. Your installation might be corrupted."

The text adds fine, and does not prompt again during that session. On the next session, however, it prompts again. This error did not prompt during creation testing.

2. When exporting a PDF to Word/Excel/Powerpoint, it prompts that it is installing Office Pro 2010.

The program does convert eventually but there is a minute delay. The installation prompt occurs on subsequent converts during the same session.

3. When trying to attach to an email, it prompts me for webmail or outlook. When I choose Outlook, I get an error: "an error occurred while sending mail."

We currently have Office Pro installed in the gold but not in the ThinApp vm. We use Outlook in non-cached mode.

Here are the custom changes that I have made to the ThinApp so far:

• Installed in trial mode (no volume licensing sigh and first run prompts for sign-in/sn)
• Captured in full format
• Created the following folders in the project and added attributes text file to merged
  • %APPDATA%\MICROSOFT\AddIns\
  • %APPDATA%\MICROSOFT\Office\
  • %APPDATA%\MICROSOFT\Outlook\
  • %LOCAL APPDATA%\MICROSOFT\Outlook\
  • %LOCAL APPDATA%\MICROSOFT\FORMS\
  • %TEMP%\
• Added the following lines to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.txt file
  • isolation_merged HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities
  • isolation_merged HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem
  • isolation_merged HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Security
  • isolation_merged HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
  • isolation_merged HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\PowerPoint\Security
  • isolation_merged HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Security
• Added the following lines to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt
  • isolation_merged HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\00002109A10090400000000000F01FEC
  • isolation_merged HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients
• Modified PACKAGE.ini
  • Added the following under BUILD OPTIONS section under General Purpose Parameters subsection
    • [Build Options]
    • ;-------- General Purpose Parameters  ----------
    • VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0
    • ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=WINWORD.EXE;EXCEL.EXE;POWERPNT.EXE;OUTLOOK.EXE;MOC.EXE
    • ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual

Any ideas on how I can eliminate these issues, or any other tips?

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, I am using Vista Business and have Word (2007) installed, I have ThinApp'd Visio and used ThinReg to create the file association and Shorcuts.

When I open a word document with a visio image in I can view the image but cannot edit (double click or right click) - as if I don't have Visio installed.

Does anyone know how to get this combination of Native Word and ThinApp'd Visio working in this way?

Thanks
