Agreed, it does sound strange and would be something ThinApp should solve. I think you should file a support ticket so we could get this investigated in-depth.

Hello Phil,
the log monitor problem could be solved with a new install of ThinApp 4.5.
For dotNet and VC++ Runtime, we install them native on the machines. The capture machine also has the same dotNET and VC++ Runtime releases installed as the target machines.
Is there a problem using a native installed dotNet or VC++ runtime? Since it doesn't happened in 4.0.4. I think it should work.

checkout http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2009/05/internet-explorer-plugins.html its probably a plugin conflict or isolation issue.

ezequiel,
your Excel2007.exe entry point is pointing to E:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE. Did you install to E:\? and is there an E:\ drive available to be read from on the other machines?
I doubt this is related but your OptionalAppLinks= line is incorrect:
ptionalAppLinks=plugins\*.exe
You also mention that you ran it on the server you captured on, but it won't run on the PCs. You should try packaging on a clean PC rather than a server OS.

Lars, you will need to use something like:
CommandLine=cmd.exe /c start /min /b batchfile.bat
an alternative to this is to use a VBS script with a line similar to this:
oShell.Run Chr(34) & "batchfile.bat" & Chr(34), 7, True
the window display can be changed by changing the integer - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d5fk67ky%28VS.85%29.aspx

Ghoost,
you forgot one method:
Method3: Virtualize the application on a clean machine and use APPLINK.
Allows you to deploy the application on any machine and provide reuse of the .NET 3.5 application files to other ThinApps.
Eg: Office 2010 needs .Net 3.5.
1. dotNet3.5 is not installed natively.
2. Run Prescan.
3. Install dotNet3.5.
4. Run Postscan and build the dotNET3.5 package.
5. Run Prescan.
6. Install Office 2010.
7. Run Postscan and edit the PACKAGE.INI changing the OptionalAppLinks= parameter to specify the dotNET3.5 package.
8. copy the dotNET3.5 package to the folder specified by the OptionalAppLinks= parameter, which is usually a relative folder path, to the Office2010 package
NOTE: This package should work on any machine with the same or newer OS/SP level as the package machine.

The bug is by design and when engineers do that, they call it "a feature". It does not compress EXE or DLL files in the new version unless you specifically tell it to. It makes it faster and I believe gives it a lemony scent.
Regarding your #2 feature request, check out Robert Carter's ThinApp Isolation Viewer. It will save you some work in Notepad++. It has been a very useful troubleshooting tool for me. Screenshot attached. He also has a utility for isolation modes in the the registry. I highly recommend purchasing both at his discounted price.
Check out http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2009/05/app-troubleshooting.html for some other nifty tools.
Not that some of these wouldn't be nice to have as part of the ThinApp software but having the interface quick and clean is actually quite nice. It doesn't take much to power up a third part app to troubleshoot the difficult stuff - IMHO.
take care,
Bryan

I have this resolved and have successfully package Teradata SQL Assistant. The trick was to use merged isolation on the ../NCR/GSS directories to find that that thinapp version then saw the needed files that the locally installed copy had placed there that for some reason, Thinapp did not put in the package. I then manually copied the files installed under the C:\Program Files\NCR\Teradata GSS to the Package (%ProgramFilesDir%) and repackaged.
Specifically it was missing many files and directories in the LCLIENT sub-directory of the Teradata GSS installation.
If you ever have to install this software, you need to install the software in order (like many applications) and I chose to package the ODBC portion separately and then link the Teradata SQL Assistant to the ODBC package to make my troubleshooting easier.
My installation order was as follows:
Take snapshot
Install TDICU
Install GSS
Install ODBC Drivers
Take post install snapshot
Create Package
Copy installed C:\Program Files\NCR\Teradata GSS directory and all subdirectories and files to the Package.
Build Package.
Take snapshot
Install Teradata SQL Assistant
Take Post install snapshot
Create Package
Edit Package.INI to link to ODBC package I created above
Build Package
I don't see why you couldn't build it all together at this point. I chose not to so that I could easily troubleshoot what part of the package the error was coming from.
Adjust your cooking time for altitude; your results may vary.

Hello,
i wonder if there is anything i have to consider when running a package ,that i have captured on a xp-machine , on a 2003r2-terminalserver.
When running my application on that server (remote from a client), my application runs, but there are many windows popping up saying somethimg with "registering", but they close after a second.
When my application tries ti start msaccess runtime (it is inside of that package) i see in the task manager that access opens, but there are no windows.

Hi,
New to ThinApp but have managed to thinapp several versions of Quickbooks & Quicken for use by an accounting practise. The only one giving me problems is Quickbooks 2006-07. I have it running fine on my clean VM running Windows Server 2003. When I package it & try to run it, either immediately on the same VM or on one of the terminal servers it pops up an alert saying
An unrecoverable error has occurred
Exception MSXML could not CoCreateInstance HRESULT=80040154 thown with error code -2147221164
Function: ADR::RepositoryDoInitialLoad
File:.\.\src\Repository.cpp
Line: 81
Anyone been able to get Quickbooks 2006-07 working under ThinApp or able to advise what I need to do to troubleshoot?
Thanx,
TJ

Hi guys,
We're getting ready to try and package star navigator 14. We haven't even started yet but I'm hoping you guys will see this post, I'd like to find out about the road blocks you hit and how you might have gotten things working(or not working).
Thanks,
Matt

You should always use a Volume License Key. Single user keys are not portable like a ThinApp package is..

No, but you have to make some changes to the package, see the manual

I ran into the same problem in the past where the ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions entry by itself didn't work. Try adding one or both of these your package and see if it helps. These are for Outlook 2007.

could it be that the application wants to write data in a temp folder on the c partition and that u have restricted that with a policy?
if so, you have to set that folder to writecopy in your package or redirect the tempdir to c:\temp and give the users write access
