Hi,
I've been having an issue with users opening Word and Excel files (.doc & .xls) through a ThinApped IE6 instance on Windows 7. We're using IE6 to allow users access to our legacy Oracle instance. This instance is using Jinitiator 11.8.16 as it's custom Java applet. I have configured the Package.ini with the following lines to allow access to the host apps I want it to use:
;VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0
ChildProcessEnviromentExceptions=AcroRd32.exe;Winword.exe;Excel.exe;Powerpnt.exe
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual
What happens when a user tries to open a Word doc is , a new IE6 window will flash open then close, never showing the user the document. They can do a CTRL+left click on the document to bring up the option menu. If they save the file and open it from their Desktop, it works fine. If they try to select Open, the same thing as mentioned above occurs.
I'm using ThinApp 4.7.2 to create the IE6 virtual apps, and we're currently migrating our users to Windows 7 SP1 from XP. We have Office 2010 SP1 installed on all workstations. We still have XP systems in use, and they aren't experiencing this issue, Everything works fine for them.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
