I'm trying to thinapp Java JRE (latest) so it is used when the user launches the local IE on the workstation. Is it hopeless? I know I can create an IE entry point on the Java exe created by Thinapp but then you are not launching the local IE. I am hoping the user can browse around the web and Java can load when needed. This is so elegant with a thinapped Firefox, I just plonk the controls (Java, Flash, etc) into the OptionalAppLinks directory and it just works. I realize in this case Firefox and the local IE are apples and oranges: Firefox is thinapped and local IE is not.
Am I chasing my tail here? I am hoping to not build a "custom IE" loaded with all the plugins that I have to babysit. Can I create a thinapp package that is just a shortcut to IE? Set the OptionalAppLinks parameter, then drop in plugins like I do for Firefox? I guess I'm asking for what others are doing.
We are using IE7 on XPsp3.
Many thanks!
