Hi all,
I'm trying to build one Office 2003 thinapp that will work across our organization.
Source computer is Windows XP. Thinapp 4.7. Tried following all steps including comments here: http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2008/10/how-to-thinap-2.html
Tried isolation_full HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer... Value=ImagePath ... REG_EXPAND_SZ~"%SystemSystem%\msiexec.exe" /V#2300
Tried with Wow64=1 and Wow64=0.
Tried with Merged and WriteCopy
Tried copying PRO11.msi to Office11 Folder per App-V instructions
Tried
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer... DisableRollback - DWORD - Value=1, MaxPatchCacheSize - DWORD - Value = 0 per App-V instructions
I run this without issue on Windows XP.
On Windows 7, I open the application, a box pops up that looks like it is running an installer, and the entire program disappears nearly instantly (I don't have time to read the installer). The program appears in task manager until I manually kill it. Event log shows a single warning from MsiInstaller source 'Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070002'. No other events correlate with running the application.
Any tips before calling VMware? I see no reason for separate Office 2003 packages, given that Office 2003 can run on Windows 7 x64 natively.
Your insight would be greatly appreciated!
