I am a systems administrator for a school district in Idaho, and have several schools that use a legacy XP based Microsoft application called Photo Story 3 in their labs. Microsoft says it is for XP, but we have used it for several years in our physical environment for several years now with no issues to speak of.
I have set up a capture environment with a golden image of Windows 7 32bit. And for my ThinApp capture machine I have cloned the golden image and installed ThinApp 5.0. I would like to thinapp this application so that it can still be used in our VDI implementation.
So on the ThinApp capture VM, I install the application and test it for function. Everything runs fine there. Then I capture the package and move it into my Horizon View environment and assign it to a pool. I access one of the VMs from this pool with the View Client and try to launch it and it fails with the following message:
If I install this application on the golden image and then recompose my VMs it works fine, but then the application is part of my golden image that I am working hard at keeping it as optimized as possible. It also robs me to the ability to assign the application only where I want to use it.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
