MS SQL Server Express 2005, Cannot connect, Error: 233

Hello,

 

 

I am evaluating Thinapp to distribute our software. For this I've captured a complete working SQL Express Express 2005 on a clean Virtual PC. after I try to logon to the database using the "SQL Server Management Studio" from the build I get the following error message "A connection was successfully established with the server ... during pre-login handshake (Shared Memory Provider, error:0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe) (Microsoft SQL server, error: 233)"

 

 

Does anyone recognize this problem or can help me with this problem?

 

 

regards,

Jeffrey vander Vegt

Adobe Creative Suite 5.0 - Weird Menu Behaviour

February 23, 2012, 3:42 am

I am aware that there have been many discussions around CS5 here, and I've read all of them, but I'm experiencing an issue which I've not yet seen reported by any other users.

 

If you press Alt in a normal windows application you would expect to see the File etc. menus at the top hightlighted so that you could then navigate through them.

 

If you then press Alt again you would expect this to de-select, which it does, and you would also expect to be able to "click away" from the selected menu items and continue normal mouse or keyboard operation.

 

In my ThinApp'd CS programs this does not happen, pressing Alt will select the menus, pressing it again will de-select, but you can't click out of the menu as you would normal. This also goes further and affect shortcuts, so if you use Alt in any combination to say, zoom or pan or select a tool, simply clicking away won't work, you can't pan/zoom then select a text box and start typing because it hasn't deselected the menus yet.

 

It's very bizzare and I can't work out why it's happening, but has anyone got any suggestions as to why this might be happening?

 

Running Windows 7, ThinApp 4.7, And I've seen this on Illustrator, In Design and Photoshop CS5. Acrobat Pro doesn't exhibit the same behaviour, no do any of the other apps I've virtualised.

I am new to thinapp environment…can someone please provide me the steps to update the MSI package with ThinApp AppSync

 

- How to update a MSI thinapp package which is already installed on the machine (Appsync enabled package)

- If I copy the thinapp package (DAT and entry point) the Appsysnc works fine ….but if I install the MSI package on the machine, it doesn’t update with the new version of package .

- Do I need to copy new version of MSI package to the shared location or the actual DAT and entry points files ? ( I mean ,should I add the Appsysnc URL as …….package.msi or …..package.DAT ) ?

- Do I need to do anything different for MSI package to get updated with the new version of thinapp package ?

hi everyone,

 

is there a bug in vregtool app (version 4.61 or 4.7x)?

 

everytime i use it with arguments like ImportReg, ExportReg, ExportTxt, PrintKeys, PrintStats, SysCompare or DelSubKey, i always have this message when launching :

 

Missing required parameter CapturedUsingVersion in section [BuildOptions] for .\Package.ini

Please set CapturedUsingVersion=3.X or CapturedUsingVersion=4.X to match the version of ThinApp/ThinInstall used to originally capture the package.

 

vregtool only work fine with ImportDir Argument.

 

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Windows 10 Thinapps - Slow Launch on Thinapp 5.2

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.

Has anyone been able to create ThinApp'd version of Google Chrome?

February 14, 2012, 12:36 am

Long ago, in the early days of ThinApp, the sandbox mode of Google Chrome causes problem with ThinApp such that Chrome plugins could never be saved to the ThinApp sandbox.

 

I am retrying this with ThinApp 4.7. The problem appears to have worsen. Now, many sites I visit with ThinApp'd version of Chrome will crash a frank crash of the client app with the message "Fatal Application Exit Exception Processing Message 0x400000015".

 

I have tried already the "--no-sandbox" toggle, but it did not help.

 

Is there anyway for ThinApp and Chrome sandbox to coexist so that I can create a virtualized package of Chrome using ThinApp?

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

Running multiple versions of Acrobat Reader

Is there a way to get multiple versions of Acrobat Reader to run at the same time. We have some old legacy apps that require Acrobat Reader 4? We have created a thinapp package for Acrobat Reader 8 and it works great. However, we can not run both Acrobat Reader 4 and Acrobat Reader 8 (thinapp) at the same time. If Acrobat Reader 8 (thinapp) is running and you try to open Acrobat Reader 4, it opens Acrobat Reader 8. If I close Acrobat Reader 8 (thinapp), then we are able to open Acrobat Reader 4.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Internet Explorer Virtualized

I've got a quick question...

 

 

Why does Internet Explorer use the Native Flash player from my native browser if Internet Explorer was fully virtualized from harvesting it via Thinapp 4.6?

 

 

I thought it would rely on it's own plugin's and hence be in it's own virtual bubble.

 

 

Thanks,

can't get Shell entires to work in Thinstalled Program (ie, Ccleaner, Notepad++...etc)

hi guys

 

 

i've tried to Thinstall ccleaner and notepad++ , all good expect one problem. normally In a traditional install ccleaner allows to add a menu to Recycle bin right-click menu called  "Open ccleaner..." during instllation or via option after installtion. if i thinstall ccleaner i can't get this behavior to work. i tried creating a .msi file for the thinstalled application but that doesn't help either. launching the thinstalled application and then going to option and checking the "add Open ccleaner to Recycle bin" doesn't work and nothing gets added to the right-click entry on recycle bin.

 

 

same thing with notepad+. in Traditional install notepad+ adds a "Edit with notepad++"right-click menu entry for files like .txt or .cpp ....etc , if i thinstall it this entry doesn't exist.

 

 

can someone tell me if it's possible to capture the shell/context menu entries of a application? what am i doing wrong? thank you
