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

February 1, 2017, 3:02 am

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

64 Bit OS/Apps don't support VBS?

We have recently moved to 64 bit base OS for Horizon.

When building any thinapp on this new base OS, it will not work if I include a VBS file (for doing the FirstParentStart functions etc):

 

  • Packaged Thinapp works fine without a VBS file.
  • VBS file works fine on it's own.
  • Even if I comment out everything or have a blank VBS file, the ThinApp package doesn't work.

 

It does attempt to run, but fails:

  • ThinApp popup appears with license details
  • the process spawns (seen in Task Manager), but then exits.
  • Packaged App doesn't run
  • no errors are shown.

 

Found similar issue (VB script crash thinapp ) but the solution doesn't apply to me as that DLL is not present in the package.

 

Any ideas?

Thinapp and browsers (Chrome and Firefox), lots of issues

December 3, 2015, 6:46 am

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.

Hi,

we deploy a ThinApp with Word 2003. When a user is forced to update to "Creator Update" the ThinApp does not work anymore.

I think there would be the need of a fix from VMware, ist there something in the near timeline?

Microsoft Office 2010 Activation Issue

I have a question: I created a thinapp of Office 2010 Pro Plus following documentation I found in the communities. I added the following before building the application:

 

  • Users without administrator rights may be unable to activate Microsoft Office 2010 if it is using an MAK volume license key, unless these entries are added to the bottom of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt in the project directory:

    isolation_full HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform
    Value=UserOperations
    REG_DWORD=#01#00#00#00

The problem is, users without administrator rights on the workstation still cannot activate office. What else can be done?

 

Thanks

Adobe Creative Suite 5 (CS5) problems

August 30, 2010, 1:21 am

So... we've been running CS3 (Design Standard) almost with no problems but are now upgrading to CS5.

 

Problems I've run into so far are

 

- InDesign totally fails to launch with an error

  (The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.)

- apps fail to close properly

  (hanging processes)

 

I've built these on a Win XP SP3 virtual computer (with latest MS Updates) and tried running them on the same computer after a rollback to the snapshot... Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat Professional seems to be working fine (with Bridge and Mini-bridge) but not InDesign. And they don't seem to exit properly. I've used both v4.5 and v4.6 to capture and build several installations by now...

 

I'm guessing this is all related to Adobe's copy protection or some such nonsense... BUT (maybe I shouldn't say this out loud) while googling for users with the same problem I've found pirated PORTABLE versions of InDesign so it apparently is possible for the less scrupulous people among us... so why can't I do this correctly with ThinApp?!

 

Anyone tried, made it yet? I must admit my capturing skills stop at running thinapp - installing app - capturing. I don't know enough about ThinApp to tweak around with all these options available through VBS'es etc.

Getting error RelaunchUsingCreateProcess::CreateProcess failed when running a ThinApp in Vista

Hi all,

 

I've ThinApped an application in ThinApp 4.5 on a clean XP SP3 build and it runs perfectly on XP. The problem comes when running it on Vista; I get the error message "RelaunchUsingCreateProcess::CreateProcess failed ". I've tried ThinApping it on Vista and get the same error message running on Vista and a different error message when running on XP. I'm not concerned about it not running on XP as backward compatibility isn't strictly supported but I thought I'd try it just in case. I've also tried ThinApping it in 4.6 but get the same results. The package is linked to two other packages but I don't think that's where the problem lies as the error message refers to the executable of the main package.

 

I haven't been able to find much about the error apart from this post that seems to suggest it's a bug in ThinApp related to memory. The author's solve was to amend the exe of the app in question to address the memory issue. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury.

 

Does anyone know any more about this bug? Is there any way of solving the issue? Is it likely to be addressed in a future release?

 

Any help gratefully received.

 

Thanks!

ThinApp 4.6.2 and Adobe Acrobat Professional

I was excited to read about ThinApp 4.6.2 this morning but I am hoping someone could clarify the release notes in particular in the resolved issues section.

 

Point no. 2: Virtual Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot create a PDF file from a native Microsoft Word or native Microsoft Excel document. ThinApp does not support virtualization of printer drivers.

 

Does it mean VMware resolved this issue by not supporting the feature? or the other way around. Thank you.

Windows 10 and ThinApp's created on Windows 7

Hello,

 

My agency is starting to migrate to Windows 10.

 

All of my ThinApp's have been created on Windows 7. Most of which were made using version 5.2.1

 

Some of the ThinApps launch normally, but some don't launch at all...with no error message.

 

Does anyone know what can be causing this? and how to correct it?

Will they have to be recreated on a Windows 10 workstation?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Halo 2 and ThinApp

I use Windows XP, and I bought Halo 2, hoping that I could use the Halo 2 XP fix to play it on my computer. It worked on 3 of my friends using XP that did the same, so why wouldn't it work on me?

 

...it didn't.

 

 

I decided to turn to VMWare. Having Workstation, I made a VM of Windows Vista Ultimate using a spare copy a friend at work gave me. In 10 minutes I was operating under Windows Vista Ultimate through VMWare. I closed it, used the special commands to enable 3D acceleration with 256MB VRAM (my graphics card is an Asus EN8800GT 512MB). 3D Acceleration didn't work at all. I couldn't even use Aero!

 

 

I don't want to dual-boot or install windows vista, because I formatted in January and I don't feel like formatting again.

 

 

So I thought of ThinApp. A friend of mine dual boots Vista and XP. I thought of installing Halo 2 there and using thinapp to capture the installation process. But since ThinApp kinda works like VMWare I'm afraid that 3D won't work...

 

 

I sent the above to the VMWare team asking wether there was any way to use my Graphics Card's power on VMWare or if ThinApp would do the trick.

 

 

I was told to ask here wether anyone has had any luck playing Halo 2 on XP with ThinApp.

 

 

Thanks a lot,

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?

Licensing

I'm interested in this product but am a bit cloudy on how the licensing works.

 

 

Let's take Visio 2003 as an example. If I'm not using ThinApp (installing the program on the local disk) and need to make sure 30 PCs have Visio 2003, I would have to have 30 licenses for Visio 2003.

 

 

How does this work with ThinApp? Do I still have to have 30 Visio licenses?

We are trying to Thinapp IBM SPSS Statistics 19.

After installing and having it activated via SPSS® site license on a clean Windows XP machine we capture it with Thinapp 4.5

 

Problem is that we get the following error after having the package started:

IBM ISeries Client Access, Can't Get It to Virtualize

I have been working on trying to get the 5250 emulator part of the ISeries Client Access to work as a virtualized application. It builds without errors, but I get this before building:

 

 

 

 

 

Could not copy file C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat -> O:\ClientAccess\%drive_C%\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat

 

 

 

Could not copy file C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat -> O:\ClientAccess\%drive_C%\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat

 

 

 

 

 

I tried to manually copy the file and re build. Since the files are hidden, I copied with UBCD4Win and then copied to the locations in the %drive_C% locations. The build takes place but nothing occurs after the Thinapp splash screen.

 

 

I am using VMWare Workstation witha fresh basic image.

 

 

I have seen a post from 2005 or so that said that ISeries Client Access won't virtualize, and then in the information about Thinapp version 4.0.2 that a Client Access bug has been fixed.

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for any help.

Hi all,

 

Has anybody had issues trying to thinapp Visio 2010? I've tried on Thinapp 4.5 and 4.6 but still the same issue, once its complete and its launched for the first time it has a problem trying to activate even though it was done as part of the capture.

 

I'm using a volume licence key aswell, any help would be appreciated.

 

I've also tried copying the office2010-1.vbs into the root folder of the project but that hasn't fixed it either.

 

Thanks
