Hi there,
I packaged an application on Windows 7 PRO. Running the package on Windows 8.1 Enterprise is OK. But running the same package on Windows 7 PRO will return an Error message. I attached the error message. Has anyone experience this?
Best regards
Hi,
I am currently creating a deployment plan for deploying Windows 10 later this year and evaluating ThinApp as part of that. However, I seem to be at a loss as to what ThinApp actually offers. In principle, the idea is wonderful and makes matters much simpler and easier to be able to deploy applications independently of the operating system images and in particular, makes updates and per-user deployment much more pleasant than without it...
What I don't understand however, is what people are actually using ThinApp for in practice. From what I can tell, it doesn't support any of the typical applications one might expect to deploy: No Office (either 2013 or 2016), no Adobe Acrobat DC, no Google Chrome, no Mozilla Firefox.... so what is the point of ThinApp exactly?
The product seems discontinued with no major feature updates for a very long time and no improvements in compatibility with software at all in recent versions. Is there a future for ThinApp?
The Thinapp I am having issues with is Ergopedia Physics of Sound. This was Captured with v5.2.2 -4828553 on a Windows 7x86 Capture Machine. When this app is launched on a Windows 7x86 linked clone it launches correctly but when I launch it on a Windows 10x86 linked clone I get a Runtime error (I am attaching a screen shot of this). I can right click the Thinapp and choose to Run as Administrator and the app will launch without the Runtime error. Also I can install the application natively on the Windows 10x86 linked clone and I do not get the Runtime error. I have also tried Capturing the app on a Windows 10x86 Capture machine and when launching it as a Thinapp in a Windows 10x86 linked clone I still get the Runtime error but when right clicking the Thinapp and running as administrator I do not get the Runtime error. The screen shot shows a path that is pointing to what I believe to be National Instruments, National Instruments is installed with this app by default and runs LabVIEW 2013 runtime engine.
Hello,
we have some issues with our Thinapps. We are currently using View 6.22 und Thinapps made with packager Version 4.7 - 5.22 in a Windows 7 Environment.
For example Total Commander:
When the application started up all user specified settings are gone, if you look up under C:\Users\%User%\Appdata\Roaming\Thinstall there is a Total Commander Folder and another Folder named Total Commander including hostname of the VM you are logged on (for instance: Total commander.vdi-production-41)
If you delete this newly created folder and try to start up Total Commander all is good again. So why is those second folder being created and what can we do that all thinapps will use the original Folder again ?
We have same Problems with AutoCAD thinapp and EPLAN thinapp too.
Does somebody have a clue about this issue ?
Hi there,
Why the size of the Thinapp 5.2.2 is much smaller than version 5.2.1?

Good morning all,
I have been trying to create a ThinApp of Nuance Power PDF Advanced for a few days without great results.
I have attempted to create it on Win 7 and Win 10. (Ideally I want to be able to use it on Win 10)
The win 10, installs and works perfectly but when used on a VDI I get error 0xc0000005
Does anyone have a good tried and true method of ThinApping Nuance Power PDF?
Regards,
Phillip
Hello,
App-v applications convert in to Thinapp packages?. if yes, please let me know the procedure.
Hi everyone,
we're experiencing another problem with the thinapp of Firefox; since Mozilla Firefox 50.x, the thinapp the packaged application only shows a white screen, even without the menubar.
We've seen this problem in Firefox versions 50.0.2, 50.1.0, 51.0 and 51.0.1.
Thinapps of Firefox versions 49.0.2 and lower, work fine.
We've tried:
- 32b Firefox
- 64b Firefox
- Thinapp 5.2.2
- Thinapp 5.1.0
- base image (only OS)
- production image
- and all combinations of the above
Our OS is Windows 7 (Enterprise N), SP1, 64b.
As a build option in the package.ini, necessarry since Firefox version 49.x, we added
ExternalDLLs=ucrtbase.dll
We ran LogMonitor but couldn't identify the problem.
Does anyone encounter the same issues?
And if so, and when solved, what was the solution to the problem?
I attached a printscreen of the empty/white firefox screen and the LogMonitor-file.
Does anyone have an idea to the solution?
Thanks

how to edit existing thin app application?
Hi,
since about 5 years we work with a MS Word 2003 ThinApp without much troubles. But since a few month, when we start the Word_ThinApp, it starts new threats over and over again, up until Word is crashing.
This happens with Wiindows 7, not with e.g. Windows 10 (but we are unable to upgrade all machines).
Any tipp around?

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help, having issues ThinApping an application which uses C++ runtime dll's. The application in question is a calibration tester for gas detectors and isn't available for public use. The application launches fine but when you choose to edit a calibration file, which is literally just a file, you click edit and Windows Explorer launches to browse for the file, you can choose the file and then following error pops up:
Unable to load mfc80.dll - The specified module could be found
I can see the above dll within the winsxs folder so it exists, I have also tried copying the dll file to the %systemsystem% folder, when copied to the %systemsystem% folder the above error disappears but then a new error pops up:
Runtime Error!
R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
And at this point I'm stuck. I have read up a bit about dll's not being loaded/found and implemented some of the suggestions on this forum including:
- ThinApping the application with C++ Redistributable Package 2005 (2005 appears to the C++ package with this specific dll in it)
- Adding ExternalDLLs=mfc80.dll to the package.ini
- Copied all the dll's (not just the one dll which appears to be causing me problems) within the winsxs to the relevant %systemsystem% and %systemsystem(x64)% folders
ThinApp was done on Windows 7 x64 capture machine, using ThinApp 5.2.1 and target VDI desktop is also Windows 7 x64.
I can run the ThinApped application fine from various other Windows 7 desktops including the machine it was captured on and my own personal laptop, appears to be an issue with target VDI desktop we wish to deploy to.
Anyone else had any experience of this? Any suggestions?
Is it possible to edit the displayed text of the ThinDirect message and/or the duration the message? I have users that are asking for a better description of what is occurring and would like to see the message stay up longer.

Again I have found an issue with Thinapp 5.2.1.
am busy repackaging software I made before for a 32-bit environment for a 64-bit Windows 7 environment.
ackages can be either 32-bit of 64-bit programs, but the Thinapp package is always made on a X64 Windows 7 system.
The problem description is as follows:
Was packaging an laboratory application called Glims (version 9.5.15) for our hospital.
This is 32-bit software using a 32-bit Progress database client.
All software is basically installed in folders located in the root of C:\
During the install, some services entries are added to the SERVICES (located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc)
During the capture, the changed SERVICES file is stored in the %SystemSystem(x64)%\drivers\etc location.
However, after building the application, the SERVICES entry does not reappear in the correct location.
Instead it is relocated to the C:\Windows\WinSXS\AMD64_microsoft-windows-w..nfrastructure-other_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_nonte_6079f415110c0210-folder.
The result is that the program fails to start because the SERVICES-file cannot be found in the correct/expected location.
(For now, I have solved the problem to copy the \drivers\etc-entry from the %SystemSystem(x64)% also in the %SystemSystem%-location.
After rebuilding, the application now seems to be working ok
Still, is this behaviour by design or is this an issue?

Hello Folks,
We have ThinApp'ed into a MSI these applications:
- Mozilla Seamonkey, (32bit, FR, version 2.46)
- Java 8 (32bit, update 121)
We use it to access an in-house financial application at uses the Java Plugin.
Inside this application, Excel is used to generate reports. Excel is installed locally on the workstation and is therefore not ThinApp'ed.
If we use Office 2013, everything works fine. The secretary clicks the 'export to Excel' button in the Java application and Excel shows us the generated XLS file within Excel.
However, Office 2016 has a different behavior. The Java application gives us an error saying that it could not open Excel 2016. The only way to bypass this problem is to have an instance of Excel 2016 already opened.
Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Thank You!
Hi all,
We have a Java appled application, with require some local resources an a winword plugin.
All the local resources i have put in a thinapp.
If i open a word document from within the JavaAppled winword will start but my thinapp crashes! (i have a entry point to iexplore.exe on a windows 10 os)
I is use:
VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0
ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=Winword.EXE
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual
winword starts and no thinapp crash, but no i don't have the word plugin becourse winword start out side the thin environment.
so my question is how to pull winword 2016 in to a thinapp environment.
many thanks

I'm trying to package the application McKesson XMCare 2015.01.06.
This is a .Net application it works but is very slow when launching.
The App-V is much faster in launching.
Are there any optimations i can do to solve this.
I already tried the option described her : Make your ThinApp packages start quicker - VMware ThinApp Blog - VMware Blogs
Also i tried activating the dotnet option in thepackages.ini
