Hi,

We have the following infrastructure:

VMware View 5.3 with non-persitent floating assignment pool

Windows 8.1 Update 1 image

Microsoft Office 2013 32-bit is installed locally on desktop image

Thinapp 5.1

We want to package Microsoft Project 32-bit on our platform with Thinapp.

I have tried all the tricks in the book when trying to package Project 2010 in our VMware enviroment. I have switched to 2010 version because Thinapp does not support Office 2013 on Windows 8.1 Update 1. But I start to suspect that our configuration is not supported by the fact that we have Office 2013 locally installed on our image..Good if someone can confirm that!

MS Project start, but hangs and is not "Not licensed" in Window toolbar. After trying to close the application we get a error message from: Microsoft Office Office 64-components saying that its can not find a MSI file. the name is 23a3267e.msi , but this filname is randomized and I cannot find anything when googling the filename.

I have followed these guides:

https://communities.vmware.com/thread/471565

http://www.egroup-us.com/2011/02/howto-thinapp-microsoft-office-2010-known-issues-and-resolutions/

I have even tried this custom thinapp tool: VMware KB: Resolving licensing errors when deploying virtual Office to a system with Office installed natively.

Have someone managed to package Visio or Project on a similar enviroment before?

And can someone confirm that a Thinapped 2010 Office applications will work on a image with Office 2013?

Dear community,

We're trying (hard) to make a ThinApp Package of Microsoft Project 2013. We want it to work on an image where Office 2013 is installed (master).

We've tried it many times but we're always block by the production activation (No licence can be found, bla bla and then the program closed). We already have followed plenty of tutorials but with no success:

Re: Thinapp Visio 2013 / Project 2013

VMware KB: Packaging guide for ThinApp 5.x and Microsoft Office 2013

Last tries were done like that:

1) Copy Project install folder (French and German) to ThinApp machine

2) Configure config.xml file with

     - "Accept EULA" -> YES

     - MAK Key + Auto activation

3) Disconnect NIC adapter

4) Prescan

5) Install software with command line setup.exe /config prjww.std\config.xml (for both languages)

6) Stop osppsvc.exe

7) Launch application once (already tried without starting the app)

8) Postcan

9) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USERS modifcations

If anyone has any clues, it will be welcomed.

I am trying to ThinApp the FileZilla client (FileZilla_3.11.0.1_win32-setup) and no matter what I do it does not want to work. I install it on my capture machine and everything runs fine native. No matter what order I do things (run post capture scan before opening app for first time/after app opened) all that happens are two filezilla.exe processes appear and one sits there taking 99% CPU most of the time. The GUI never appears and I have to end the process. This happens on both the original capture VM and my actuall VDI.

Any idea what I could do to try and resolve this? It was supposed to be a nice simple capture, but seems nothing like that.

Thanks,

Adam

As skype have interactions with audio and video drivers, i am unsure whether the functionality will work.Any inputs?

Hello all, I have Problem go through it!

I would like to determine the local IP address from my java applet. The problem is when there are several IP adresses on the same machine, which has LAN and internet connections (palm, VMWare...).

Here is my test :

public static void main(String[] args) {   try {   String hostName = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();   System.out.println("HostName = " + hostName);   System.out.println("HostAddressLocal = " +   InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress());   InetAddress[] inetAddresses = InetAddress.getAllByName(hostName);   for (InetAddress inetAddress : inetAddresses) {   System.out.println("hostAddress = " + inetAddress.getHostAddress());   }   } catch (Exception e) {  e.printStackTrace();   }   }

The result is :

  HostName = xxxx    HostAddressLocal = xx.xx.xx.xx    hostAddress = 10.10.11.51    hostAddress = 192.168.23.1    hostAddress = 192.168.106.1

where xx.xx.xx.xx isn't the correct address. The correct is 10.10.11.51.

EDIT in response to jarnbjo :

Your Crystal Report ball say the truth. You've understand my problem. The client can connect through a proxy so I can not use your first point. If I execute this code below on my computer :

Socket s = new Socket("www.w3c.org", 80);     InetAddress ip = s.getLocalAddress();     System.out.println("Internet IP = " + ip.toString());     s.close(); 

I have this result :

    >> Internet IP = /127.0.0.1

And not 10.10.11.51

Thanks

Hi,

I have installed "oracle forms6 runtime + reports" as a Thinapp. The Thinapp works fine. I can also open the thinapp a second or third time.

But when I close the Programm the process "ifrun60.exe" remains active (Oracle Forms Runform)!!

If I try to start the programm again it waits until i kill the "old" process. After killing the process the thinapp application starts.

The Problem occurs on Windows7 32bit and 64bit.

Under Windows XP the thinapp works fine.

I tried to build the thinapp and run the thinapp in compatibility mode (Windows XP SP3) but the problem was the same.

With Process Explorer i only found out that some Threads are running. (some with Wait:UserRequest some with Wait:wrQueue)

When I install the "oracle forms6 runtime + reports" as a regular application under windows 7 it works fine.

No processes remain open when I close the application.

Are there parameter/switches for the thinapp.

Any suggestions, ideas?

Hi

We have been testing a virtualized version of IE6 using Thinapp 4.6.  We are using the redirection functionality from IE8 - IE6 based on URL and also javascript redirects.

We have come across an issue where some of the javascript redirects we want to incorporate actually pass values.  As we cannot list every value for the redirection, is it possible to have some kind of wild card ?  this is an example of one such redirect. 

javascript:submitMSDSSearchFromSearchResults('GB','en','18180','FLUKA');

Entered in the txt file in the user profile as it, the redirect works fine, but we need a way of directing all calls using this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

many thanks

I'm packaging an app called SAS 9.3

When I've come to install from the MSI I get an error stating 'internal error 110...msiname'. Launching via entry points is fine.

When installing msi with a verbose log generated it states..

...

Note: 1: 2755 2: 110 3: C:\Users\PACKAG~1\AppData\Local\Temp\SAS-9.3-TA-61-R01-B01.tmp.msi

There are indeed a series of msi's that exist in c:\windows\installer and they have been included in the Thinapp, but it seems these files are dynamically named and so 4c1ab3.msi does not exist! For example I just tried to install the msi again on the same machine and the log now states this..(everytime I try to install it tries to locate a different msi name)

The system cannot open the device or file specified.

Any pointers welcome...this isn't specific to just this app, I had the same problem with Adobe CS6 and that was convieniently solved by excluding Acrobat from the package. I don't have the option to remove anything else from this package. I should perhaps mention that it is a 4.1GB MSI and a 4.2GB DAT in case it's relevant, but I'm using msiexec v5 on Windows 7 SP1.

Hello,

is it possible and if so, how can I set a ThinApp (in this case Acrobat Pro) to be the default program when opening pdf's?

Thanks,

Hello,

I am trying to ThinApp Mozilla Firefox v52 using ThinApp v5.2.2.

This is on a Windows 7 VM.

When I try to launch the ThinApp on my Windows 7 workstation, I receive an error that reads...Missing Import C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\ucrtbase.dll->kernelbase.dll:CreateProcessW.

Does anyone know how to correct this? I currently have Firefox v49 ThinApp'd and it works fine, but the newer versions have this issue.

Many thanks for any help you can provide!!

I'm trying to thinstall some tutorials from the "Professor Teachers..." series. 

When I run then exe, I get "failed to create process default activation context".  The program seems to run fine, once you acknowelege the error.  I have checked the system logs, but the error isn't logged so I don't know what file or resource it is trying to access.  I am new to thinstall and I would like to know how to troubleshoot an error like this.  Thank you.

I'm trying to find out if it's possible to apply patches to a ThinApp package.  Having used SVS in the past, i'm used to being able to basically 'open' the layer, apply the patch and then close up again and distribute.  Is there an easy way to do this with ThinApp without having to repackage the entire application?  If so, can someone point me to steps or a whitepaper?

Thanks!

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

Using virtual XP machine with nothing installed on it to build my packages

Adobe Reader 10.1.1 (Full Install)

Windows 7 64Bit

Office 2010 32 Bit

IE8

When I open a PDF, and go to Tools - Send Files, Attach to Email (with Outlook open), when I click attach it says Launching email application and eventually comes back with the error "The file Z:\users\username\appdata\local\Microsoft\Outlook\username.ost cannot be opened.".  These are dedicated desktop pools and Z: is where the persistent disk is stored.

I have tried everything on the forums I can find, I have compared permissions on that folder with that of my regular desktop (which works fine) and they all match.  I even rebuilt the ThinApp from scratch with the latest version of ThinApp.  I am out of ideas.

I have attached the package.ini file in case that helps anyone.

I created a thinapp of Java 7 Update 45, following the instructions from the ThinApp Blog, and the msi installs fine. I can see it in Programs and Features in Control Panel, and the About Java start menu item appears and opens showing me that it is Java 7 Update 45. Unfortunately, my browsers are not aware that it is installed, the installation is not recognized by "verify your java installation" on the java webpage nor on javatester.org. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this to work? I'm not sure what to check or change. Thank you.

I have a program Edmark that creates a simple XML preferences file in it's own program files directory at first run.  I have Thinapped said program with the preconfigured XML file in the thinapp build directory "%ProgramFilesDir%\Edmark\Edmark Reading Program Home Edition - Level 1\" exactly where and how it is created on a standard install right with the main executable. But when I run/install it on our linked clones with user persistent data disks this file gets created in the users thinapp sandbox with default settings instead of using the one packaged in the program directory.

My question is then... Is there somewhere in the thinapp build folder I can put this xml file so it gets copied/put into the users persistent thinapp sandbox?

P:\Users\vditest\AppData\Roaming\Thinstall\Edmark Reading Program Home Edition - Level 1\%ProgramFilesDir%\Edmark\Edmark Reading Program Home Edition - Level 1\Mach Prefs.xml

Can it be because I added this file manually to the build directory after my postscan? Did it not get picked up by the build batch file and needs added to a list of files to include somewhere?  Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!

*Humble new Thinapp admin*

Is there a utility to do this?

Hello,

I have thinapped visio 2010 following the sequence guidelines on this site

http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2013/02/thinapp-microsoft-visio-and-project-2010-while-locally-installed-microsoft-office-2010.html

Visio does not activate, when i run 'cscript.exe ospp.vbs /act' within the thinapp cmd. i recieve the message:

'No installed product keys detected'

When I run the installer with the same config.xml and then run the above command the KMS server succesfully activates my Visio product.

Someone got an idea?

thanks.

I am attempting to crate an IE 8 ThinApp and AppLink JRE 1.5u8 using the following articles:

Step by Step Instructions on How to ThinApp Newer Java Versions - VMware ThinApp Blog - VMware Blogs

How to package Internet Explorer 8 - VMware ThinApp Blog - VMware Blogs

Now, I have tried the AppLink approach, as well as integrating Java in IE before doing a post scan. No matter how I what I try, I always get the following message when attempting to start an applet in the IE ThinApp:

In the project directory, under %ProgramFilesDir%\Java\jre1.5.0_08\bin, there is no server directory, which is correct. The server directory should only be available when installing the JDK, not the JRE. Nonetheless, I vopied the client dir and renamed it to server, but I am still receiving the same error.

I am doing all capturing on a Windows XP Sp 2 32-bit OS, and would like to run this on a Windows 7 64-bit system. I have not been able to find a solution to this problem anywhere.

I am using ThinApp Setup Capture v5.2.2
