Hi.
First startup of QB after computer restart is quite long, as installed, as thinapped version (22-29 sec ).
Next time ( I have close QB and run it again) installed version starts in ~2 sec, but thinapped starts in 12 sec.
Why such a difference? Is there any way to speed up the loading?
Hi All,

Dear All,
I have successfully virtualized an application using Thinapp 5.0. This application is being deployed through a Remote Desktop Server (terminal Server) that is running Windows Server 2012 as Remote Application. Everything is working OK with the exception of printing. When I try to print using a redirected printer nothing happens ( the print dialog briefly shows not responding and then nothing happens). However if I try to print the same thing but without using a redirected printer like for example a direct attached printer or a shared network printer that is part of the user session on the remote desktop server I am able to print without a problem.
Does someone recognize this problem or can help me determine a the cause and solution so that I am able to print using redirected printers?

hi there
our customer is using an application, wich uses the .Net Feature "ClickOnce" this is an automated installation and updating procedure from .net.
If a user start a such application the first time, it will download programm data to the local part of the users profile appdata.
In an classic environment, the user has to download these data once per workstation.
but when using floating desktops, the installation happens everytime when the user gets a new desktop.
redirecting the local part of appdata is not, what we want to do.
has anyone expirence how to generate an thinapp from such a application? the entry point to start the app is an webserver url.
regards angelo
Ok, so I'm a newbie with the thinapp software and have a question. As we are beginning to produce virtualized software like MS Office, what is the best way to update the thin application, especially since Office has updates every month? Are you guys just building new packages monthly? Or is there a way to roll the security updates into the existing app package?
Trying to thinapp a program called MergePACS. Goes through the packager just fine but when i try to launch the app this is the message I get. See attached. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks
I read the FAQ, etc., but could not understand much.
How should I use specifically?
I am trying to create a few Thinapps of Healthcare apps and running into some issues. When I start the app after the build i get an error message related to a DLL file that is in the package. The error message is "MIssing Ordinal C:\adv\app\comdil32.dll ->SHELL32.dll:158" The DLL is in the appropriate directory. So, what i did was tried to run the samy app from teh command prompt and teh app launched fine. What is the difference between the two methods? Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks
I am currently testing ThinApp 5.0 with our different applications when I came upon an interesting issue.
With 5.0 the %ProgramFilesDir% directory is smart in that on a 64 bit windows OS running a 32 bit ThinApp application it equals the "C:\Program Files (x86)" directory and on a 32 bit windows OS it equals "C:\Program Files". I find this feature helpful, however in the situation of applications that still use hard coded paths this functionality can be a killer.
This brings me to my questions and hope. Is there a method for disabling this "smart" redirect and force %ProgramFilesDir% to equal "C:\Program Files" or force the ThinApp to function as if it is running on a 32 bit OS? Wanted to note that I have tried the Wow64=0 and even Wow64=1 switch with no luck. ><
Thanks in advance

I've created Thinapps for Quickbooks 2011, 2012, 2013 and Enterprise 14. All are working but I'm unable to get file associations via Thinreg. I've tried it for each version individually as well as all of them and still, double clicking a qbw file leaves Windows asking for an app to open it with. What I really want is to be able to right click and select properties on a qbw file and see the tab that displays the Quickbooks version of the file. I realize I might not get this but I did expect to at least get the basic file association. I'm on the latest version of Thinapp 5. I'm executing Thinreg as follows: ThinReg.exe /r "\\myserver\share\QuickBooks Premier - Accountant Edition 2013\QuickBooks Premier - Accountant Edition 2013.exe"
This does put the appropriate shortcut on my desktop but no file association. What am I missing here.
Thanks,
Andy
Tried to go through the build process and everything appeared to go well however when i try to launch Word or Excel (the only ones i tried) from any computer, even the thinapp computer, I get the following message. "Microsoft Office Standard 2010 configuration dud not complete successfully" And all I can do is close. If I do it on the Thinapp computer after that message i get this one " Microsoft Office Standard 2010 cannot verify teh license for this application. A repair attempt failed or was canceled by the user. The application will shut down." I added the license info from the KB article to the Package.ini file.

Hey there folks!
I'm fairly knew to thinapp so im more than likely doing something wrong or have forgotten to do something in the build process.
The software is a standalone program that uses AD to authenticate and issue permissions. It has its own database of users which hooks up with AD users.
The problem i'm running into is that, when i run the application and try to login in, it works. but if i close it and try again it doesn't work. In the login window there are three fields. Username, Password, Domain. every time i've started the application it's had the domain field grayed out.
During the capture process the machine is added to the domain, I've tried it on a workgroup and already on the domain with no luck. There are 4 points i uses for anchors, but only one is used to kick off the application and i have tried all save methods i.e msi, .DAT or .exe
I haven't done any manual configuration the the .ini file because im honestly not familiar enough with it at the moment. (That could be my issue)
I'm trying to get the application to run on windows 7 64bit or 32bit, it runs perfectly in 32bit XP. (This also could be the issue)
I'm using Thinapp version 5.0.9815
Thanks!
Hi all,
Seems I've found a bug with scripting API. In two words, function "SetfileSystemIsolation" has no effect at all. For example, call "SetfileSystemIsolation "C:\Merge", 2" with line "DirectoryIsolationMode=WriteCopy" in "Package.ini" gives default isolation (WriteCopy) directory "C:\Merge". All changes will be sandboxed. I've tested this for VMware ThinApp v5.0.0 1391583 and VMware ThinApp v4.7.3 891762. Result is the same. But it works as should in VMware ThinApp 4.5.0 238809. Please, someone test and confirm.
P. S. Also there is error in "thinapp50_manual.pdf" on page 83, function "SetfileSystemIsolation" referenced as "Setfile systemIsolation(Directory, IsolationMode)".
We tried to Thinapp Kingdee，but got error like "module <KdSvrMgr> got exception"
Kingdee on Win XP installation involves
We tried to isolating whether the problem is in (1) pre-requesties or (3) .Net framework by re-installing that on the “new” XP but no luck. So it seemed the problem was on the Kingdee program part.
Attached the detail steps done.
Appreciate any advise, thanks.
I have a thinapp, say App1 that works as standalone package but the entry point is actually a scripted CMD file from the vendor. The entry point works as designed if launching the thinapped application on its own. There is an App2 that can send info (deptID and MD5 hash with corresponding data) to App1 so that it will pull up the user's record.
As a full install App1 can take this data from App2 and the CMD parses out the info that App1 can use and launches with correct data.
As a thinapp, App1 is not getting the info from App2 and therefore the CMD does not parse anything and just launches App1 normally.
Bottom line is has anyone ever used a CMD file as an entry point for a thinapp and have gotten it to correctly get the data it needs and do what it was scripted for? We are currently using ThinApp5
If it would help I have attached the cmd and ini
Greetings,
FIrst post here. I am wondering how feasible it would be to make Microsoft Money 98 into a portable app. I have been installing with Win 7 64 bit although it indicates that this is not possible on Win7 64 bit. I have 25 years of records and I worry about Win8 installation.
Any input would be welcome
Thank You

Ever since I got my hands on ThinApp 5, I've been trying to thinapp Office 2013. I've tried it in various ways and I think I should give something back to the forum by sharing my experience.
I captured Office 2013 by following this guidebut also did some tweaking and tuning by myself.
Let's start!
There's one thing though I haven't been able to work out.
Whenever I add a required applink in the file Package.ini, Office fails to start any application. Instead, a screen pops up where Office tries to install an "Office Feature" but fails to do so and then just quits.
Has anyone been able to add applinks for Office 2013?
Regards
Marius
I went through the Office 2010 install and it seemed to go well. The apps appear to work but the one odd thing that happens a lot is when we launch Word, Excel. or Powerpoint the first time it appears to be stuck. I waited a couple minutes to see if it will launch but doesn't. Then if I go to task manager and stop that process and relaunch they will work just fine and every time after that. Has anyone seen this before??
Hi, I have thinapped Skype and provided to use it on VDI enviroment (VMWare View 5).
If user starts thinapped Skype they cannot use video. The webcam is correctly redirected to the view session. Skype recognize the webcam but the video display is black.
