Thinapp Office 2013 on Windows 7 and run on Win XP

$

0

Hello,

 

I need to run an thinapped Office on Win XP.

I have tried to anaylze Office Outlook with Dependency Walker and I have copied all needed dlls to the %SystemSystem% folder.

But when I want to run the thinapped Office on the capturing machine after build the app crashes immediately.

 

Its error message : Fehlermodulname:    StackHash_ed7a.

 

Does anyone have a hint how to analyze the error message?

 

Attached you can find the dll files in the %SystemSystem" folder.


ERROR ThinApp Adobe Acrobat Reader 11.0.09

Does anyone have Acrobat Reader 11.0.09 created as ThinApp? When i click the new big "Open" button i get an error message. This should open a Acrobat.com Explorer.

 

ERROR:

COMDLG32.dll missing on the computer. Install the program again to correct the problem

 

Installed on Windows 7 x64 blank with ThinApp 5.1.0 or ThinApp 5.0.0

The same error also comes at Windows XP blank with TinApp 5.1.0 or ThinApp 5.0.0

 

Someone has a solution?

Thinapp and Explorer Shell Context Menues

$

I'm trying to understand if i am doing something wrong or if it's just the way it is.

 

I'm practicing packaging application with thinapp, i tried Microsoft Office 2007, Winrar, Acrobat Reader 9, Firefox 3.0.7, Google Chrome and Skype 4.0 with success.

 

There are some differences in the user experience that i would like to solve, if possible:

 

1) when i right click on a .zip file i have no menues for unzipping it with Winrar;

2) PDF files are not previewed in Vista, you just get the regular PDF icon on files;

3) is there a way to hide the little popup windows on the bottom right when a thinapp application is fired?

4) when opening a PDF from the web using IE or any other broser you get the choice to save or open it, but it should actually open the file in the browser instead

 

I realized that these issued might not be because of my mistakes but just the normal behavior of thinapped apps; i am just thinking about all the support requests i will get once i will put this into production just because things are slightly different than a regular full desktop user experience.

 

Thanks for your support.

Thinapp 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 crashes with application - Thinapp 5.0 works fine

$

I recently tried to package a medical software package called MediConnect 2.8.

 

The Thinapp package was made with Thinapp 5.2.1.

When starting the package after the build, the application crashed with the following error:

I tried to redo the package using different settings, but to no avail.

Then I rebuild the package using the older Thinapp 5.0 and the package works fine.

 

I have had the same problem with Thinapp 5.2.1 in the past with the Microsoft Dynamics 2012 sofware.

Would not work at all and crashes at startup.

 


Today, I tried the same with the new Thinapp 5.2.2 but infortunately, the result is the same.


Does anyone have any idea why the current versions of Thinapp seem to be less stable and trouble-free than the previous ones?

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.

 

 

ThinApp 4.6 and SQL Express 2005 SP3

Has anyone been successful at ThinApping SQL Express 2005 SP3? I have tried the instructions for SP2 -> http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006992

 

 

This doesn't seem to work with SP3.

 

 

Doing a default install and allowing the services to start with the default network service account seems to work on XP but not Win7. Doing a custom install with a local user account does not seem to work at all.

 

 

 

My build machine is a fresh, non-patched Windows XP SP 3 system. The .Net Framework 3.5SP1 is installed as part of the project.

Accessing files in the same folder as the ThinApp executable

$
0

I have an interesting use case that I am trying to get working with my current ThinApp trial, to see if it is useful for our current environment.

 

- I have an application that is ~5Gb

- It may be installed in any number of locations on a client PC

- There are multiple, different, optional patches for this application that are ~500Mb each

- A user of the application will only have at most one of these patches installed at a time

- Some users will still be using the original base install and have no requirement for installing any patch

- When installed, these patches irreversibly modify the base application, and it needs to be reinstalled to switch to another patch

- There is no desire or requirement to package the base app itself, as this is generally deployed by an existing method

 

My hope was that I could package each patch up as a ThinApp (with a "Package X.exe" and "Package X.dat") and allow users to simply place them in the application folder.

This would allow the original app to remain unmodified, but when run inside the sandbox it would contain the modified data from the relevant patch

 

The blocker I have reached is that it doesn't seem possible to have the "current folder" as an expandable macro anywhere.

Ideally the package would simply contain the modified patch files and folders, and be run from the application folder, using "current folder" as merged.

 

The workaround I am considering at the moment is to use a script to locate the existing install on the machine, copy the patched files from wherever they are in the package over to that location (resulting in them being present in the sandbox), then launching the application.

Unfortunately, this results in extremely long load times (if sandbox is cleared on exit), or duplication of data (each patch is now stored both in the .dat file and in the sandbox).

 

Is there an easy method to have files packaged into the "folder where the thinapp is being executed"?

ThinApp 64bit Excel

I am trying to ThinApp just 64bit Excel to run alongside a full install of 32bit Office 2013. Has anyone done this before and would be willing to share a recipe? or some tips? I have seen the article for packaging the entire 64bit suite of applications I am going to follow that for now but my first bid died on the vine, it would launch and throw a generic memory exception. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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.


MS Visio and Project 2013 on Windows 10 - License Issue

$

Hi All,

 

I am trying to get Visio and Project 2013 to run on Windows 10. Every time I launch it I receive an error stating "Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application. A repair attempt was unsuccessful or was cancelled. Microsoft Office will now exit".

 

I ThinApp'd it on a clean system, but am launching it on systems that have other Office apps installed locally.

 

I tried to use the TAOffice tool as stated in VMware's KB 2107369, but receive errors when trying to run it. One error states "OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\OSPPSVC.exe error: The system cannot find the file specified".

 

I tried copying OSPPSVC.exe to the locations on Program Files and Program Files (x86), then it give me an error stating "OSPPSVC.exe is native".

 

I used the TAOffice tool when I ThinApp'd these on Windows 7 and it worked well.

 

Does anyone know how to get this working????

 

Many Thanks!!!

Has anyone Thinapped Synapse for W7?

The capture was taken on a 32bit XP machine. Synapse is working fine for XP 32 bit OS. But for W7 32 bit it will not work. I get the information bubble indicating that it is reaching the vm thinapp capture then nothing happens. I attched the bubble or notification screen.

 

Thanks!

Thinapp Firefox ESR Issue - The address isn't valid error

$

Hello Guys,

 

I have recently struggling with Firefox ESR thinapp, actually it already happened in previous version 38.8.0 ESR, but I was able to fix that issue by this guide :

 

1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste pref and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.preferences.inContent preference to switch it from true to false

 

But since FF is changing the policy as stated in this from them :

 

Firefox 38 switched from a pop-up Options dialog to an "in tab" options page. Some users are finding that it doesn't work for them, but so far we haven't identified the reason - and this - Note: I don't know whether that will be in Firefox forever or is a transitional feature. As you've probably noticed, the long-term trend is to remove things that pop up.

 

It looks it already came and I am not able to fix that (should be since version 42) for the last 45.2.0 ESR version in thinapp. When I install the FF, all works, but when I get the packaged FF by thinapp, then it does not work. All like about:home, about:preferences, about:newtab etc. command does not work, even some https links.

 

I have tried to thinapp it by also older version, but no success. Currently we use last 5.2.1 .

 

Would you know what can be wrong there with FF? Anyone of you have the same?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice. Pakcage.ini attached

thinapp process Firefox 49.x kills

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?

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.
