Native Office 2010 and Outlook VSTO Add-In

We are using a native install Office 2010 on our desktops.  We have a program that integrates with Office via VSTO.  When we run Outlook the add-in shows as Inactive in Outlook.  When we try to enable it we get the following error.  I have included the vsto file in the thinapp build so you see the vsto file.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this working?  I would rather not have to do a native install since our Office Suite has a dozen different add-ins.

 

Name:

From: file:///C:/Program Files/ThinApp Name/Folder/OutlookAddIn.vsto

 

 

************** Exception Text **************

System.Deployment.Application.DeploymentDownloadException: Downloading file:///C:/Program Files/ThinApp Name/Folder/OutlookAddIn.vsto did not succeed. ---> System.Net.WebException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\ThinApp Name\Folder\OutlookAddIn.vsto'. ---> System.Net.WebException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\ThinApp Name\Folder\OutlookAddIn.vsto'. ---> System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\ThinApp Name\Folder\OutlookAddIn.vsto'.

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the pop-up that appears in the bottom right corner of the screen when starting a ThinApp application? I've been searching through the documentation and the internet and I haven't seen anything on this.

Hello,

 

 

I have Horizon workspace 1.5 setup in our lab. When I try to sync thinapp applications with workspace, I get the folowing error.

 

 

 

Category: Import

Error: Error importing thinapp package. No exe/dat files.: ThinApp package: Firefox

Recommended actions:

Verify that at least one .exe/.dat file exists in the bin folder of the ThinApp package.

Verify that the package contains the "main data container" file.

 

 

 

I have configured the network share as "Thin-packager.vcloud.com\horizon apps\Adobe Reader X\Adobe Reader X.exe"

 

 

There is no bin folder and I have put both .exe and .dat files in the share.

 

 

Can somebody please help me with this?

When real app is also installed, ThinApp5 package won't run.

Here's the simple lashup:

 

1. Real installed Winzip 14 on the 32-bit machine.

2. ThinApp 4'd WinZip 14 - Runs side by side. No problem.

3. ThinApp 5'd WinZip 14 - I geta message "Unable to install over the MSI version of the installation. Please obtain the MSI version or uninstall WinZip first."

 

I'm sure there's some switch I incorrectly chose at packaging time.

 

What did I do wrong / how can I fix it?

 

Thanks in advance.

ThinApp Getting Error Linking to Non-ThinApp program

Hello,

 

I have an application that I captured using ThinApp Capture 5.  The application has been deployed to several desktops and seems to be working correctly, except for one feature.  This particular application has an option to edit text objects in Microsoft Word and save those text objects back into the application (I'm not talking about .docx files here).  When this ThinApp'd application tries to launch MS Word, it is getting an error that it is unable to find MS Word on the desktop.  MS Office 2010 is installed in the base image of the linked clone desktop.

 

Can anyone explain to me why the ThinApp'd application is unable to correctly find and launch the MS Word executable?

 

Thanks,

Unable to save to a mount point folder?

Hi,

 

I'm using a NTFS partition (which has no drive letter) which I've mounted into a directory.

It's a 100GB partition on a SSD drive and it's mounted into the following folder:

D:\Users\Highend\Downloads

 

When I capture an application inside a clean VM (Hyper-V) and copy it to the physical

machine afterwards, the application is unable to write to this specific folder...

 

The build environment for this application contains an additional folder "%drive_D%

with an ##Attribute.ini file with this content:

[Isolation]

DirectoryIsolationMode=Merged

 

The application can write to:

D:\Users\Highend

flawlessly and interestingly to

 

D:\Users\Highend\Downloads\Test

as well.

 

But trying to write to

D:\Users\Highend\Downloads (the moun point itself)

results in an error message.

 

Sie verfügen nicht über die Berechtigungen zum Speichern in diesem Pfad.

Wenden Sie sich an den Administrator, um diese Berechtigung zu erhalten.

 

Englisch:

You don't have the permissions to save in this path.

Contact the administrator to get this permission.

 

Is there any way to configure ThinApp (v5.0.0-1391583) to let the app have

access to this mount point folder?

 

Regards,

Highend

Hi All,

I am having a problem launching a base image installed Acrobat Reader from within a Thinapp application to view PDF files.

 

I have the following lines in the package.ini file for Office files and for PDF files:

ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=WINWORD.EXE;EXCEL.EXE;POWERPNT.EXE;OUTLOOK.EXE;MOC.EXE;MSACCESS.EXE;ACRORD32.EXE;ACROBAT.EXE

ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual

 

Office files i.e. docx files will launch the relevant Office application and run fine, but with Adobe Reader I am receiving the following message:

 

Dialog box title: "Welcome Acrord32.exe - Fatal Application Exit"

"Unable to load Thinstall Directory from end point executable."

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thanks, Steve.

I have observed that there are total 4 processes running for adobe and after I close the exe, not all of the 4 processes are closing. 3 are still remaining. Can anyone please tell me why? Am I doing anything wrong in the installation step??

Dear All,

I have a problem when using thinapp to packaged an reader app called "apabi reader", it opened a self defined format .ceb file for reading e-books. This app install an ActiveX control on IE, and use IE to download .ceb file then launching the "Apabi reader" for users to read the .ceb books.

I have packaged the "apabi reader" with thinapp, it could open the .ceb file. But when I try it in IE, browser the e-book and click read, IE it prompt me that "Apabi reader" is not installed. How should i let the IE to know that this app is installed and use thinapped "apabl reader" to open it, please advise, thank you!

Adobe Acrobat 8 ‘Create PDF’ Issue thinaped package

Hi

 

   I  have been trying to find out a forum or an article to thinapp Adobe acrobat but couldn’t find a complete solution. After reading several forums, Here is what I did and struck

 

  1. On to a clean vm, (XP sp3) installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard
  2. Registered and activated the license (volume license)
  3. Removed the adobe pdf printer and driver (removed dll files in system 32 relating to adobe printer driver, as printer driver can not be virtualised) and restarted the PC
  4. continued with the capture process and packaged the application (Thinapp 4.6)
  5. After that I reverted back to the clean snapshot and launched the thinapp application.
  6. I know that I have removed the pdf printer driver from my package. So I downloaded the Adobe PS driver for windows XP from here
  7. Then I have launched the thinapped package and all seem to work ok. When I click on Create PDF from Acrobat, I got the error 01 and then 02 (as attached above).
  8. But what I noticed that I can create PDF from notepad, jpeg files but it is only the Microsoft office files that give the above error message.
  9. I have been searching adobe forums yesterday and found few articles on how to install adobe pdf printer manually from here but I couldn’t find mydocs\*.pdf printer not could I find any adobepdf.inf files.
  10. I have tried this on different images and all came with same error (on office, rest of the files are ok)

 

So I am wondering, Has any one successfully managed to create PDf from office files from ‘Create PDF’ button in Acrobat.  If you have any solution then We could add that to our master base image. As a work around we have pdf creator software installed on the base image and users are creating PDFS from there.

 

      But users would like to use the create pdf feature from Acrobat as they have been using in a native installation without any issues. We are talking about 200 users at least in here.

IP addresses and ports in ThinApps

Hi There,

 

Sorry if these are really dumb questions.

 

Can 2 Thinapp applications communicate with each other via hard coded IP addresses?  I am guessing the only way this can work is using loopback like 127.0.0.1.

 

Does the Thinapp see the IP address of the host machine only?  I am guessing the answer is yes.

 

The problem we are trying to solve is a way of distributing a simulation of a hardware system where there are 2 machines that are communicating with each other continuously.

 

Thanks for your help,

 

regards,

Peter

Cisco Jabber Client 9.0.x ThinApp Issues

October 24, 2012, 6:31 am

I am currently having an issue with Cisco Jabber Client ThinApp running on Windows 7 remembering the login credentials on startup.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

We are in the process of updating our VDI environment to Windows 7. Our current environment is running Windows XP SP3 in a non-persistent configuration.  Initially I built the thinapp using ThinApp Version 4.7 on a clean Windows XP VM.  The ThinApp works fine under Windows XP but for some reason on Windows 7 it refuses to remember the login information from session to session.  If I open it, log in, exit and then relaunch it remembers it in the same session.

 

I have also installed Jabber on the Parent VM and it has the same issue.

 

I am just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue?  Is anyone else using the Cisco Jabber Client?

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

AppSync & AppLink interoperability?

Hello,

 

My users run a Thinstalled program that has various dependencies in the form of AppLinked Thinstall binaries:

 

Main_Program.exe

Dependencies/Foo.exe

Dependencies/Bar.exe

 

During normal operation, Foo.exe and Bar.exe are never run by the users, although they are in the RequiredAppLinks section of Main_Program.exe's package.ini.

 

My question is: how can I get Foo.exe and Bar.exe to update via AppSync? Do Foo.exe and Bar.exe have to be each executed individually, for them to be AppSync'ed?

 

Thanks

Testing ThinApp For Alteer Office (EMR Software)

January 31, 2014, 11:13 am

Hello All,

 

I am trying out Thinapp for the first time, and am running into some difficulties with a poorly programmed (requires Admin right to run... Writes to c:\ and win.ini) CCHIT certified EMR. The software in question is Alteer Office (now CGM Clinical).  I have tried multiple ways to package this application, and have been semi-successful.  The program requires activation to practice database before it can be ran.  The problem I am running into now, is that the software database is hosted at Alteer colo.  I am able to get the program to run, but on the initial start of the application, it just loops trying to connect to the database server.  I tested the program on local install, and verified the application runs and connects to the external database server with no problems. This application creates a large amount of registry entries and needs to write to C:\Program Files\Alteer.

 

With my limited use and knowledge of Thinapp I feel I am missing something, or this program just will not work with ThinApp.  I have packaged the file with one entry point (Alteer Office.exe), allowed everyone access, created it in Merged Isolation mode and set it to use local %appdata% for the sandbox.  As far as primary data containers, I have tried both .dat and compiling it all into the Alteer Office.exe (both act the same),  Along with installing the EMR application, it also installs Adobe Reader 9 in the same install; is this an issue? should I be installing adobe 9 first, then Alteer? I also see a DotNetInstaller.exe as an entry point, ive read that .net causes issues.

 

as far as any modifications after the package is built, I have tried changing all the registry entries to isolation-merged.  I feel as though not all configuration files are being captured and this is why I cant connect to the data base servers.

 

Can anyone suggest where I start with my troubleshooting? Any useful tools that will point me in the right direction?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  (Packaging Firefox was soooo much easier! )

 

**I should probably also add, that the thinapp runs perfectly fine when the application is installed locally and I run the ThinApp version of Alteer Office... its after I load the clean snapshot and try to run the ThinApp that things are broken.

Thanks,

Brad
