Troubles launching FireFox from USB in lab environment

Hi All- Here's some background to help you understand where I'm coming from. I've been tasked with developing a rogue software solution. The requirements of this include running an app from a USB flash drive for a group or single user for a finite period of time. I started with Workstation 6.5.1 and ThinApp 4.0.2 in my lab. I created a VM from an ISO of XP SP2. I installed ThinApp on the VM. Using the wizard I created a package of FireFox 3.0.10 using the defaults. With the help of the Reviewers Guide and the ThinApp User's manual I edited the package.ini file and built a new EXE. My present INI is attached.

 

Now for what happens. I created a folder on my flash drive called Rogue. I copied the EXE to Rogue and created a sub folder Thinstall in Rogue. I relocate the flash drive to my laptop, browse to the EXE and launch it. In Task Manager I see 2 new processes'. Mozilla Firefox.exe (76K) and firefox.exe. (96K). A new folder, Stubs, is generated on my flash drive and the Thinstall folder gets a new folder too, Mozilla Firefox.exe. Each of these new folders contain data. But nothing more happens and I end up killing the processes'.

 

 

I'm going to review the documentation again now. Thanks in advance for any input. If you need more information from me to clarify anything just ask.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Todd
