Entry Point to physical installed software

April 7, 2017, 4:25 am

Hi guys

 

I am having an application which runs with an Access frontend (*.mde) and has in the background an oracle database.

Up till now the software was only compatible with access 2003 and we had the following installations thinapped:

 

- Access 2003

- Oracle Client

- Oracle ODBC Connection

- some regkeys

 

Now the application is compatible with access 2016. Access 2016 is installed on our base image, so we don't need to thinapp access 2016. We only need the Oracle Client, ODBC Connection, Regkeys... but the entry point has to be Access.

 

For example:

[XYZ.exe]

Source="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE"              (--> also tried it with %programdir% variable)

WorkingDirectory=\\Server\Share

CommandLine="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE" /runtime "\\Server\Share\Access.mde

Shortcuts=%Desktop%

 

 

But at the end of the build process I get the Information that it can't find %programdir%\Microsoft Office\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE"

I guess it's looking for this path into the capture folder and not on the physical machine. How can I make this working or is it not possible?

 

The [Isolation] is set to: DirectoryIsolationMode=Merged

 

 

Kind regards

I am attempting to virtualise Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 x64 to deploy on Windows 10 x64.

 

I can successfully virtualise this using ThinApp, however when using the virtualised copy on Windows 10, I am unable to download any files and also cannot access the downloads area within Internet Explorer either from the menu or using the CTRL+J keyboard shortcut.

 

Anybody seen this behaviour before or managed to get downloads working with ThinApp virtualised Internet Explorer?

 

Thanks

hello

i use a virtualized program and there is the registry file registry.rw.tvr with 126.521.344 bytes.

so it seems that the size of this file makes problems, bekause it produces always copys of it

with the name damaged....

i looked for the vregtool from net and tried this:

vregtool registry.rw.tvr printstats

as result

unable to load error message for id 13

i also tryed to export, but also the same.

i think the size of the registry is on the limit because it doesent become more on size,

it has the same size since the problems began

and i found no solution for repair the registry or clean it

that the size will reduce.

sure, i can delete it, but its a mail program and there are all the settings and accounts

and i dont want to loose all the accounts and mailprograms, because i tried to

delete the registry and copy than the mails in the new one, but than i can't see the mails.

i hope there is a solution or program wo cleans the registry

regards

Hi,

 

we are running different virtual applications with thinapp on windows 10.
After upgrading to windows 10 creator update these applications crash.

Every time the event viewer shows an error 1000, Application crash, Faulting Module c:\windows\system32\oleaut32.dll.

 

We tried with thinapp 5.2 and 5.2.2.

 

Is this a known issue with the creator update ?

ThinApp - Reading from real OS drive

Hi,

 

Please excuse me if this is a simple question with a simple answer - i'm attempting to tune an application by putting files onto where I'd execute the ThinApp from. - hoping capture a package that when the ThinApp is executed it is able to read from a file that's pre-seeded onto the real OS disk, example below :

 

ThinApp capture is like below -
c:\software\ini files\                     <- empty folder

c:\software\bin\sample.exe

 

Real OS is like below -

c:\software\ini files\sample.ini

 

^ so that when I execute the ThinApp the sample.exe software discovers and parses the sample.ini from the real OS disk, I've tried Merged mode (package and c:\software\ini files\) with no luck.

 

Am i doing something silly here or is this not possible?

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

Your Runtime License has Expired

I have a customer who downloaded and installed the 60-day Trial of ThinApp... by the 45th day or so, she liked it so much that she had

 

 

already virtualized about 3 dozen or so Apps... The License file was, of course, the Trial license...

 

 

 

 

 

Well, she just purchased and received her ThinApp "real" License, but not before the Trial one ran out...  So now, every time she launches

 

 

a ThinApp'd app, she immediately gets a small screen that says, "License Error:  Your Runtime License Has Expired"... She can only

 

 

click "OK", and that's it... Nothing else...

 

 

 

 

 

Where can I tell her to go, to input the new Production license file that she has just purchased, so that all her Apps "work" again?

 

 

Is she just hosed?  Will she have to re-virtualize all those Apps again?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

Google Chrome browser

Google's Chrome browse using a sandboxing technology which is not currently compatible with ThinApp (which also provides sandboxing)

http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/sandbox

 

 

I found you can disable Chrome's sandboxing mechanism using "--no-sandbox" command-line parameter and then it works under ThinApp. So here is a temporary solution:

 

1. During packaging process, after installing Google Chrome, add an extra shortcut to the startmenu that contains the Target command "Chrome.exe --no-sandbox"

2. Make sure to select this EXE as user-accessible entry point

 

Optionally, if you have the package already captured you can edit package.ini like this

 

http://Google Chrome.exe

ReadOnlyData=bin\Package.ro.tvr

Source=%Local AppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

CommandLine=%Local AppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --no-sandbox

WorkingDirectory=%Local AppData%\Google\Chrome\Application

Adobe CS3 Design Premium and FlexNET woes...

Hi, back again... after sorting out the .MSI and CAB issues I've suddenly run into a new problem. We have the Design Premium "bundle" (which means there's no way for me to not install all the extra bloat Adobe forces on us) and it uses a FlexNET service for licensing (I believe).

 

 

Here's my issue,

 

 

I installed it, thinapped it, built it and ran it. All worked fine.

 

 

I then use the MSI to distribute the software to my users... which is where the problem comes into play...

 

 

Apparently, the ThinApp can't register/run/verify/whatever the licensing service as a USER.

 

 

If I make my users local Administrators all the Adobe CS3 thinapps run just fine.

 

 

If a normal non-privileged user (or power user) tries to run any of the Adobe CS3 thinapps it fails. (Licensing for this product has stopped working... please reinstall or contact administrator).

 

 

 

 

 

Any ideas?

Thinapp Acrobat DC AcroCEF.exe problem

I try to thinapp Adobe Acrobat DC and faced with problem.

Acrobat has little executable AcroCEF.exe (looks like this is Chrome 45).

This exe crashes on Acrobat start (see attach). I have replace it with selfmade

exe which do nothing, just starts and stops after 5 sec. This resolves problem with crash,

but original AcroCEF.exe is required for Fill & Sign tool.

For thinapp I used Thinapp ver. 5.0, 5.1, 5.1.1, 5.2.


Has anyone thinapp Acrobat DC and how to resolve AcroCEF.exe problem?

DWG True View 2015 ThinApp launches with error on Zero-Client

Hi all,

 

I captured Autodesk DWG-TrueView 2015 64bit on a Win 7 x64 machine. The build was completed without any error.

 

However when I run the ThinApp on a Zero-Client with Win 7 x64 and net-Framework 4.5.1 on it the thinapp either won't launch, hangs or quits shortly after the start with the following error:

 

An Autodesk product failed to send the required value for UPITOKEN.

The error report sent to Autodesk may be incomplete.

 

In the Autodesk Forum I found the following thread DWG TrueView 2013 crash after loading DWG - Autodesk Community but all the proposed solutions didn't help me.

 

I installed Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages beginning with 2008 up to 2012. Neither doing so before nor after the prescan helped. The same with Net-Framework 4.5 which is in my Master-Image.

 

Using this recipe  Autodesk DWG TruView 2014 I successfully captured DWG TruView 2014 which is perfectly fine for now. My fear is that in a few weeks time I need the 2015 version because someone from outside sends us a document which can only be opened in the 2015 version.

 

Anyone successfully captured True View 2015?

 

VMware ThinApp is 5.0.0-1391583

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

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.

64 Bit OS/Apps don't support VBS?

July 4, 2017, 3:29 am

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?

Office 2013 - Outlook previewer not working

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?

Just a quick reminder, that ThinApp 4.5 got released.  Here are a few quick links:

 

Download: http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/desktop_downloads/vmware_thinapp/4_5

 

Release Notes: http://www.vmware.com/support/thinapp4/doc/releasenotes_thinapp45.html

What's New

 

The 4.5 release adds the following features to improve usability, performance, and updates:

 

     

  • Support for Windows Server 2008 R2, 32-bit Windows 7, and 64-bit Windows 7 operating systems.

     

  • ThinApp version updates to incorporate the latest features or support enhancements without rebuilding packages. The relink.exe utility updates existing packages.

     

  • Compression of MSI packages that uses the MSICompressionType parameter to improve the ThinApp SDK performance.

     

  • Reduced memory consumption and page file usage to improve startup performance. The OptimizeFor parameter works with the CompressionType parameter to customize memory performance and startup time.

     

  • Anonymous collection of statistics to expand the support for applications. You can use the Setup Capture wizard or the QualityReportingEnabled parameter to help VMware build support for applications and help you migrate more native applications to a virtual environment.

     

  • Loading of DLL files as virtual DLL files without using API functions. The ForcedVirtualLoadPaths parameter loads external system DLL files that depend on DLL files inside the package.

     

  • Product interface updates to improve usability and link to video and documentation information. German and Japanese versions of the ThinApp User's Guide are available.

Jonathan
