Hello, I have been working on ThinApp-ing IE. ThinApp IE6 and IE7 were pretty straight forward and simple. However, when it came to IE 8, it is a whole different story.
Here are the things I did:
1. I started out with a clean Windows XP, SP3, 32bit, Workgroup, VM.
2. I did all the Express security updates, not the Optionals.
3. Installed ThinApp 4.7.2
4. Pre-Scan
5. Do a windows updates, go to Optional updates.
6. Installed IE 8 from Windows Updates.
7. Open IE 8, change the homepage, uncheck the box so it will not check and see if IE will be the default browser.
8. Close IE
9. Post-Scan, Capture, Build
10. Tested it on Windows 7, 64bit, our production base image.
11. IE 8 opens, but you can only see the outline of the IE, then it closes immediately.
I tried download the offline version of IE 8, failed.
I tried to install Java and/or Flash with the IE, failed.
I tried to update to IE7, PreScan, update to IE 8, failed.
I tried to PreScan, update to IE7, update to IE 8, failed.
I tried to leave all IE 8 setting as default, didn't open it before PostScan, failed.
Is there some sort of log I can check and see what is causing my IE8 crashing?? I did read about the protected mode, but I do not see that anywhere in Internet Options in IE8.
I used the procedure in http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026674
I am using the latest ThinApp, I think, 4.7.2
Please help!! Thanks!
