I am currently testing ThinApp 5.0 with our different applications when I came upon an interesting issue.
With 5.0 the %ProgramFilesDir% directory is smart in that on a 64 bit windows OS running a 32 bit ThinApp application it equals the "C:\Program Files (x86)" directory and on a 32 bit windows OS it equals "C:\Program Files". I find this feature helpful, however in the situation of applications that still use hard coded paths this functionality can be a killer.
This brings me to my questions and hope. Is there a method for disabling this "smart" redirect and force %ProgramFilesDir% to equal "C:\Program Files" or force the ThinApp to function as if it is running on a 32 bit OS? Wanted to note that I have tried the Wow64=0 and even Wow64=1 switch with no luck. ><
Thanks in advance
