ThinApp Tableau Desktop not working properly

$
0
0


I was trying to Thinapp tableau desktop, I tried with Thinapp version 4.6 and 4.7 but it was giving some error, so I downloaded version 5.1 of Thinapp.

this time I was able to capture tableau properly. I also added license key for tableau before capturing the package but when I launched this Thinapp package to any other machine it still ask for activation.

In short it is not capturing license information of tableau.

 

Have somebody try to Thinapp tableau yet? If yes then any help would be appreciated.


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!!!

Thinapp 5.0, removable disk and ghost drive letters

I'm using some simple applications packaged with Thinapp 5.0.  When a thinapped V5 app is running and I eject a removable disk such as usb flash disk, the drive letter remain assigned.

When a removable disk is re-inserted, the next available letter will be assigned..

 

The only way to reclaimed the "ghost" driver letters is to close any thinapped application..

 

Any clues?

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

Can not get any CLSIDs registered

$

Hi

 

I'm trying to thinapp MS Office 2013 on Win7 32bit machine.

I can make a package and it works, except one thing. I need that any software on system can interact with Word and Excel.

I have been searching on net and found that this can be done by registering COM objets (CLSIDs) out of thinapp bubble.

I used SandboxCOMObjects=0 in Package.ini, but that did not helped and CLSIDs are not registered in systems HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID.

I have also using ExternalCOMObjects={000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, but even this will not register this CLSID on system.

 

Do I understood it right that SandboxCOMObjects=0 would register CLSIDs out of bubble?

 

I'm using Thinapp  5.2.2 on windows7 32bit.

 

regards

How to install CR10 runtime on win7 64bit

$

I don't have any specific experience with Crystal Report, but I do have some experience with installing components on a 64-bit Windows environment that were intended for 32-bit Windows, so here are some general suggestions of things to try:

  • Before installing, try loosening the security privileges - I have Windows Server 2008; on this OS, they're under Start | Administrative Tools | Local Security Policy. Many old installers are thwarted by these controls. You'll want to return them to their defaults after the install.
  • Make sure that you run the installer with admin privileges (right-click; run as Administrator).
  • Examine the installation log for Crystal Report - it may indicate a failure registering a component. In one instance, I was able to get the installation working by running the command to register the failed component manually, on an administrator-privileged command line (the command was in the log).
  • If acceptable, try to create a Windows Virtual Machine running a virtual Windows XP, and try the installations there (this might be a bit tedious, due to your need for MS Office).
  • Take a look at VMWare's ThinApp - this is intended for packaging applications for administrators, but this was the solution we ended up using to shield one of our 32-bit apps from Windows 64-bit perils

Hope this helps; we struggled for awhile trying different things to get our legacy apps working on a 64-bit environment.


How to avoid creating massive size of thumbcache_.db?

$

For some reasons, for some of the apps I thinapp'd, when they are run on systems other than the (clean) system used to create them, there are .db files (such as thumbcache_96.db, thumbcache_256.db) created under %Local AppData%/Microsoft/Windows/Explorer in my Thinstall directory, all of which can be near 500MB each!

 

 

Long ago, I had created simliar app with Thinstall (the predecessor of ThinApp) and this problem never comes up!

 

 

What has changed? What can I do prevent this from happening? All the Thinstall directories of the ThinApps .exe I now created are nearly 1GB big each!

Good morning all,

 

I have been trying to create a ThinApp of Nuance Power PDF Advanced for a few days without great results.

 

I have attempted to create it on Win 7 and Win 10. (Ideally I want to be able to use it on Win 10)

 

The win 10, installs and works perfectly but when used on a VDI I get error 0xc0000005

 

Does anyone have a good tried and true method of ThinApping Nuance Power PDF?

Slow Open Dialog folder listing

$

Hi.

I have an issue with Open dialog and folder with a large number of subfolders in thinapped application.

Folder has over 12000 subfolders.

Default (not thinapped) application list subfolders in Open Dialog almost instantly.

But thinapped enumerates all subfolders more than 30 seconds (depends on view and filter).

I have replicate this issue on Windows Server 2012 (R2) and Windows 8 (8.1) using Thinapp ver 5.x.x

with applications that use standard Open Dialog (Adobe Acrobat).

Apps that use own Open Dialog opens folder as installed one.

Is this thinapp bug or there is some trick to resolve it?

Very slow portable app to access a folder

$

Hi everyone!

 

I'm new in creating portable applications so this might be a newbie question.

 

I've created a portable app of an application which saves files on the pc. When the file is saved and displayed as completed, if i right click on the item there is an option to access the folder where the item is saved. When i do this, it takes over a minute to just open the folder.

 

When i try this with the installed application, it opens the folder instantly.

 

I am using Windows 10 Enterprise. I also tried this on the virtual machine and it still have this issue. When accessing folders through the app, it is extremely slow and sometimes it even crashes.

 

Anyone knows what might be the issue? What do i need to change in Package.ini to fix this?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

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!

VMWare vs Azure virtual machines

$
0

Hello Folk's,

 

I searched the internet but couldnt find an answer. I know that VMWare gives you a true full virtual machine with a assigned NIC card where Azure virtual machine which is connected through Remote Desktop does not do full virtual. Is full virtual the correct terminology used to describe this or am I wrong?

 

The reason this came up is because I have both environments to play with at work and have multiple customers with different vpn setup. I've noticed that if split tunneling disabled, I cannot use Microsoft Azure virtual machine and would have to setup on VMWare unless I use something like TeamViewer to connect into the Azure virtual machine.

 

One of my customer (customer A), blocks all traffic after the VPN is established. This includes RDP and HTTP, the only way for this to work is to install a virtual machine on VMware and use vSphere to connect in.

 

My last question, is it possible to get this one customer A working on Azure? My management team wants the IT shop to be all Microsoft so that means they dont want to use VMware anymore. I've tried using TeamViewer but after connecting to VPN (Cisco Anyconect) the connection to TeamViewer gets disconnected because it runs on 80 HTTP and 443 HTTPS. Any work around on Azure that anyone would like to share? Thanks!

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

$
0
0

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.
