I try to thinapp Adobe Acrobat DC and faced with problem.
Acrobat has little executable AcroCEF.exe (looks like this is Chrome 45).
This exe crashes on Acrobat start (see attach). I have replace it with selfmade
exe which do nothing, just starts and stops after 5 sec. This resolves problem with crash,
but original AcroCEF.exe is required for Fill & Sign tool.
For thinapp I used Thinapp ver. 5.0, 5.1, 5.1.1, 5.2.
Has anyone thinapp Acrobat DC and how to resolve AcroCEF.exe problem?
1.) is this possible
2.) if so could someone point me in the direction of a good resource?
3.) Specifically I am trying to ThinApp .Net SQL authorization Manager, has anybody gotten this to work?
Hi,
I successfully thinapped a 30-day evaluation version of Camtasia Studio v8.6 (https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html). However, I cannot get it to open .MOV files even with Apple Quicktime player installed and captured together with Camtasia. The thinapped version of the program runs fine but when it comes to opening a .MOV file, it says 'Cannot load file. It is either an unsupported media type or required codecs are not found'.
Has anyone faced the same problem? Is there any workaround for that?
Thanks!
I attempted to build an IE8 ThinApp starting with a clean install of WinXP running IE7. I was using ThinApp 5.1.1
The thinapp runs on the machine that built it, but when I move it to another PC running IE10 it crashes immediately upon opening.
I found many articles referencing this issue:
IE8 Thinapp crashing with IE 10 installed natively
I attempted to perform many of the resolutions I found, including copying the IEShims.dll into the %program files%\Internet Explorer directory and I also found references to copying dll's ino tht %system system% directory; however, I have not been successful in building an IE8 thinapp that works on my IE10 PCs.
Does anyone have any other solutions that I could attempt?
Today I tryed to install Thinapp on the Citrix terminalserver (the server is provisioned, using Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, 64-Bit).
In pre-scanning process it comes to an error: "snapshot tool does not work". The files as snapshot64.exe and snapshot.exe exist.
Is there anyone who do this successfully?
Community,
Anyone experience this?
I'm running 5.2 and virtualized three applications including vSphere Client.
I'm doing a full local copy (not streaming) deployed via View 6.2 and once I login and wait a few minutes for the software to copy, it takes a couple minutes just to open. Once I open it a couple times, subsequent startups are a little faster (if they even popup). My machine is running 2 cpu with 2 gb ram, optimized. CPU/Memory average 50% during this. Disks are on solid state and local applications and roaming profile logins are peppy. To emphasize, we are using roaming profiles so I will test with the %appdata% on the C:\Temp to see if that changes anything.
To troubleshoot, I've tried launching directly from the network by double clicking the .exe file. No change
I got everyone excited about this now I can't deploy it. Can someone help me optimize startup of these apps or is this by design?
FYI, my lab using Win8 and ThinApp 5.0 is fast. About as fast as a real install. I'm going to test with McAfee disabled and see what happens, otherwise I'm at a loss.
Any assistance is appreciated
I'm using MAK key to install MS Visio by follow the step provided in VMware KB: Packaging guide for ThinApp 5.x and Microsoft Office 2010 and VMware KB: Resolving licensing errors when deploying virtual Office to a system with Office installed natively.
I found that the version installed was Visio Standard but the one I package and assign to user was Visio Premium as Microsoft Installer dialog is displayed. (VMware KB: Resolving licensing errors when deploying virtual Office to a system with Office installed natively)
User' VDI has MS office Standard installed and use KMS to activate.
Any solution for this case?
I'm trying to build pkpm 2005(a chinese professional soft) using thinapp, but I found the stuff I have built is much larger than orginal files, the orginal project folder was smaller than 800MB, but the stuff I have built coming to unbelieveable 7.2GB.
Wath's wrong with it? How can I solve the problem?
Waiting Online.

Hi,
I have tried many times to thinapp visio and project (part of Microsoft office 365 click-to-run version). I have captured them on both machine that has got Office 365 click-to-run installed and with the one that had no office installed. Vision and Project are not deployed on our build image (Gold image) and this will need to be packaged so we can delopy them to the some selected users. Has anyone managed to thinapp any of Office 365 products.
After capturing, It runs only in the task manager for some few seconds and goes off with not coming up.
Many Thanks

Thanks for reading, I'm having an issue with applying GPO configurations to ThinApp packages that require additional configs from a group policy. Are Thinstalls not configurable due to it not being integrated with the operating system? For example, we have an app that puts a banner on the users desktop and a GPO that changes its color and threat condition. I've tested back and forth for an hour and no luck. A gpupdate does not change the color, however installing it natively works no problem.
Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks again
Hi,
I am new to thinapp scripting.
In my thinapp package, i need to kill the process (Strategy Manager.exe) after shortcut exits. I have created vbscript kept it with package.ini and build the application by creating an MSI. Installed the MSI but when I launch the shortcut it doesn't launch and process gets exit. For reference please find below VBScript.
Function OnLastProcessExit
Option Explicit
Dim objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess
Dim strComputer, strProcessKill, strProcessKill1
strComputer = "."
strProcessKill = "'Strategy Manager.exe'"
strProcessKill1 = "'splwow64.exe'"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & strProcessKill )
For Each objProcess in colProcess
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
WSCript.Echo "Just killed process " & strProcessKill _
& " on " & strComputer
Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & strProcessKill1 )
For Each objProcess in colProcess
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
WSCript.Echo "Just killed process " & strProcessKill1 _
& " on " & strComputer
WScript.Quit
End Function
Can you please help me what's going wrong over here?
Appreciate the help.

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'.
We have a legacy app that we have to support for quite a bit longer that requires specifically IE8 and .NET 4. At the same time, we have a new enterprise wide application going live, that is requiring our base/standard image to be IE11 with .NET 4.5.2. We currently own AppVolumes, Citrix as possible solutions to this, but each has its own hangup. One solution we haven't dived into yet, has been utilizing ThinApp. On paper I feel like this could be the way to go, but, my experience is basically null. Can anyone speak to ThinApp's ability to virtualize this very instance, IE8 with .NET 4? Is it doable?
Thanks in advance.
I saw the question once before (from a posting of 2011) but there never was an answer so i am trying again.
Is it possible to see what Isolation Modes are used from a compiled ThinApp project? I checked the SDK and it's not there...
Where are isolation modes stored, it's not in the FS registry structure (i did a compare on an exported key where i changed values before building).
Any suggestions?
IE11 is on my VMs as the standard browser. We still have legacy apps that need IE8, so, I managed to package it up with ThinApp using Peter Bjork's very helpful blog. However, I have run into a hiccup with ThinDirect. As a test, I entered 1 URL into ThinDirect to be repointed to my IE8 package (see screenshot #1). I go on my test VM, I open IE11, I try to go to the page, and sure enough, it starts to go to IE8 ThinApp. But then it just loops over and over again with screenshot #2. Anyone ever see this?
Hello,
For such package running on the network share or copied to the local machine, can it be run on normal user privilege? I packaged a Cyberduck application and had the sandbox set to the same directory. So far I have mixed results, so I am guessing if I had the sandbox store at the user profile, I won't have the errors (seems like a permission issue). I need to test more to determine.
TT
Hi,
While building an application, I am getting error for registry. The error says that:
"expected registry type at isolation_full" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt file.
I am not getting why the error is coming. in registry isolation mode specified is full.
It will be a great help if you help with this..
Thanks in advance.

I have created a ThinApp package for Java 1.8_73. My entry point is iexplore.exe, pointing to a specific website. Our goal is to have the end user go to this website only when using a specific version of Java (Which is virtualized). This seems to be working. The problem comes from when the website attempts to run a java applet.
For a brief second a bar opens at the bottom that says, "This website wants to run the Java SE Runtime Environment 8 Update 73 plugin". It wants us to click "Allow". But instead of giving us a chance to do so, it is automatically redirecting to www.java.com to download java. I managed to stop the page at the right time while capturing the thinapp, and clicked allow. However, after packaging it up and running on a different computer, it is still prompting/redirecting to java.
So far, I have been unsuccessful in adding a registry change or setting that automatically allows this plugin for the end user. Has anyone else experienced this, or knows how to resolve?
Thank you in advance!

I am trying to ThinApp just 64bit Excel to run alongside a full install of 32bit Office 2013. Has anyone done this before and would be willing to share a recipe? or some tips? I have seen the article for packaging the entire 64bit suite of applications I am going to follow that for now but my first bid died on the vine, it would launch and throw a generic memory exception. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
