Why does my Thinapp'd app try to open Excel as a different user profile?

May 3, 2010, 3:05 pm

I have Office 2007 installed locally on my Windows XP machine. Using ThinApp 4.5, I have thinapp's MS Great Plains 10, and for the most part it works great. Problem is when I try to do a smartlist and export the results to Excel, it fails saying that MS Excel is not installed. Same if I try to export to MS Word.

 

 

So I fire up the diag mode cmd.exe I created with the thinapp, and launch excel.exe.. It launches but goes thru the welcome wizard as if it's never been launched before.. and of course I've launched Excel locally several times. For some reason the thinapp is starting Excel as some other user profile. This is further confirmed by the fact that my 'Recent Documents" list in the locally launched Excel is different than if I launch Excel from the thinapp's cmd.exe. Running the exact same excel.exe mind you.. That's crazy.. Why does it do that?

 

 

I've managed a work around to get smartlist to actually export to Excel, by running appwiz.cpl from the diag mode cmd.exe and running a repair on Office 2007, it fails with an error 1719, but then I can export from GP to Excel, although still in some funky profile.. This work around would be fine if I only had to do it on a few PC's, but I have to do this workaround for every person that runs GP.. it's a pain!

 

 

Does this make sense? Why do locally installed Office apps not launch correctly from thinapp'd apps? Thanks for any help!!

"failed to create process default activation context" For some users and not others?!

Hello,

 

We are trialing thinapp to specificaly fix an issue we are having. I'm very new to Thinapp so please bare with me if theres thing you need me to check.

 

I have packaged IE6 with a version of Java. I did this on a bare XP workstation with nothing but VMware tools running. the XP workstation had a full windows update before the pre-scan was performed.

 

The application will be run on a Server 2008 64 bit citrix farm and when i log in and run the application it works fine as it does for my test user. I published this for testing by or users and a lot of them get the error "failed to create process default activation context".

 

From what I have read, this is due to a file missing from the package or something missing on the host OS however I'm not sure how this can be.

 

Any ideas?

ThinApp Filezilla client doesn't open and hits 99% CPU

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,

Unable to load required Type Library C:\Program Files\ThinstallPlugins\scripting.dll

Hi all,

 

I'm a newby for ThinApp, and I'm having this problem with a package, maybe someone could help with.

 

One of my packages runs perfectly as it is, but I need to add a vbs script to have it do something before the application starts. However, as soon as I add ANY script to the package and rebuild, I get this error on startup of the application:

 

Scripting System:

Unable to load required Type Library

C:\Program Files\ThininstallPlugins\scripting.dll

Error Code=0x8007000e

 

I can see scripting.dll being added to the build at the end of the building process, so that's not the problem.

 

The same thing happens when I build the application without a script, but applink it to another application that does have a script inside. (Although this second application runs fine when run on its own, and the script executes without problem).

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Vincent

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

How to ThinApp Java 7 version 55

Running Windows 7 32 Bit

Running ThinApp Setup Capture 4.6.2-467908

 

I follow these steps:

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

 

I realize these instructions are a few years old.  I do get some issues.

 

1)  I do not get the option to customize the Java install

 

2)  Internet Explorer 8 does not show me to under Manage  Add-Ons JQSIEStartDetectorImpl Class  I do disable both SSV Helper Classess.  I leave the Java pluging


3)  When I do a post scan, I uncheck all and check for debug options but iexplore.exe isn't one of them for an entry point


4)  I checked java.exe as my entry point since one is required


5)  I edited the package.ini and the project as stated


6)  I build it

 

7)  We use a central location on the network for thinapps.  I place it there.

 

8)  Thru a Virtual Desktop I verify that I am running 6.16

 

9)  I go to the network location and execute bin\java.exe or %ProgramFilesDir%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe

 

10)  Open IE and test the version.  Still 6.16

 

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance!

MSI error 110 - files not found in c:\windows\installers but streaming entry points work ok

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..

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)

 

MSI (s) (78:E4) [16:02:36:655]: Note: 1: 1310 2: 131 3: C:\Windows\Installer\88982c.msi

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.

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 Script to terminate child processes

January 8, 2012, 4:07 pm

Working on virtualizing Quickbooks 2012 Premier with Eval version of ThinApp 4.7.

 

QB leaves 3 or 4 processes running after closing QB that consume too much RAM to keep running indefinitely in a Remote Desktop environment, so I'd like them to terminate along with QuickBooks. My experiments thus far show no ill effects from doing so, aside from longer QB load times. And it has the side-benefit of preventing background QB updates, which, here, is desireable.

 

I am including a VBScript with my package that works correctly outside the bubble, but does not work at all when run from the OnFirstParentExit callback. The relevant code follows:

 

Function OnFirstParentExit     Dim objWMIService     Dim colProcess     Dim objProcess     strComputer = "."     Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")     Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process")     For Each objProcess in colProcess          If InStr(UCase(objProcess.Name), "QUICKBOOKS") > 0 Then               objProcess.Terminate          End If     Next
End Function

 

I've verified that closing QB does, in fact, run this procedure, by adding a Wscript.Echo statement.

 

Is it not possible to terminate these processes from a script within the bubble? If so, is there a way to have OnFirstParentExit run this procedure outside the bubble?

 

TIA

Bentley Microstation

Hello,

 

I am trying to capture Bentley Microstation v8 - without success.

 

I can convert the snapshot to an EXE and the application launches normally but when I try to access in the menu Extras -> Makro -> Projektmanager (which lists auto-loaded VB-addons) the whole application hangs. (If I add VB-addons for our CAD users to the captured files the application hangs at its Splash screen.)

 

I have attached the "Potential Errors" part of the trace file. As a new thinapp user I am confused where to start to look at.

 

Has anybody a hint for me?

 

 

Kind regards,

Mozilla FireFox ThinApp - flash player not work

Dear all,

we are searching the correct way to ThinApp Mozilla FireFox version 45, we've tried everything that we found in internet, any user guide ..but it was useless.. no one of this works well.

 

Each time we want to start Adobe Flash Player version test, on this link https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html, we get this error;

 

************************************

Unable to load DLL

 

C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerPugin_21_0_0_213.exe -> COMDLG32.dll

 

Access Denied.

************************************

 

We also tried to ThinApp Adobe Flash Player separately and link it to the project through package.ini with command "OptionalAppLinks=plugins\*.exe" but for Firefox doesn't work, it works very well for Internet Explorer.

 

As last test we've tried to install directly on base image on local machine but we get the same error message.

 

 

There are some suggestions ?

Hi there,

 

 

Can anyone confirm if this is a limitation of Thinstall to be able to use it to convert video files to WMV format using Windows Media Encoder 9? This requirement is also part of Camtasia Studio 5. Camtasia successfully Thinstalls and allows for screen recording etc, but when you try to convert the project to a .WMV file, this is where it fails...

 

 

Any assistance would be great.
