Can AWD View/ViewStation clients be encapsulated as ThinApp

$

We are having problems virtualizing AWD Imaging application (from DST).

 

 

1. As a standard install (not as a ThinApp), AWD creates what's "AWD Logon" as a shortcut on the desktop.

 

 

2. Once you launch AWD Logon shortcut and authenticate through it, this generates additional shortcuts, based on the user's security access level at the imaging system.

 

 

            -New shortcuts will by default target for files that are supposed to be located in the C:\

 

 

            The amounts of shortcuts differ from user to user. So, one user may get 3 shortcuts, while other user gets 10 shortcuts depending on what work, roles, have been assigned by the imaging security administration.

 

 

 

 

 

The problem we encounter when virtualizing this app, is that encapsulated executable works as expected, and accomplishes the ability to use the AWD Logon, but, the shortcuts generated by the AWD system, will have a target pointing to C:\, and not to a virtualized path. Because target path is not found, causes the shortcuts to fail.

 

 

            Once again, these additional shortcuts can't be encapsulated as part of the ThinApp package, as these shortcuts are generated at the time the user logs on to application.

 

 

 

 

 

Please advise,
