We have some packages captured with ThinApp 4.0.4 and rebuilded with ThinApp 4.5 and experience some problems.
Example: VMware Virtual Structure Client
Captured with 4.0.4 and making the build with 4.0.4 it works fine.
Rebuild the package with 4.5 or using relink.exe from 4.5 results in a package, which behaves a little bit sluggish, produces many SideBySide errors in the eventlog and the trying to open a console freezes the program in about half the tries.
Even more strange is, that i can't use the log monitor for debugging, because if the log monitor is open, the programm does not start, but I get a error message ts_log error 1.
The log monitor error I get also by packages captured and build only with 4.5.
The capture system is Windows XP SP2 German hosted on ESX 3.5.
The SideBySide Errors are:
Generate Activation Context ist für C:\Programme\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\2.5\vmware-remotemks.exe fehlgeschlagen. Referenzfehlermeldung: Der Vorgang wurde erfolgreich beendet.
The file is not allways the same, and:
Resolve Partial Assembly ist für Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls fehlgeschlagen. Referenzfehlermeldung: Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.
The errors also come up on the capture machine using the thinapp, but not when I start the installed program.
So, 4.5. seems to have an error, because with 4.0.4. I don't experience this problems.
