Unfortunately the EXE of the application in question had to be modified to use an acceptable memory base. That was done as a workaround until ThinApp fixes the real issue. I wish I could give more info, but I'm not the one that modified the EXE...
I never heard back from VMware with a timing on when the long term fix would be included in the product.

I ended up virtualizing Vizio Viewer 2010 and it works. No Red X. Apparently due to the Killbits security update from Microsoft, Viewer 2003 & 2007 won't virtualize, at least not easily. I had tried removing the update from the vm, but still couldn't get away from the red x.

Some progress!! I I messed with the isolation settings and the program starts now. However it prompts me for registration information (which I had already put in), normally it places files in the Users\%username%\appdata\local\ImageNova Canada directory, those files are already on the machine I'm testing on so I'm not sure why its not working.

Some applications don't want a debugger running when they are launched. I recently experimented with packaging an application that uses SafeDisc protection, assuming that the user would have a legitimate copy of the application install media. For some reason, this application claims that a debugger is present and exits when launched as a ThinApp 4.5 package.
I did some searching online and found an old newsgroup posting that pertained to Thinstall 2.x in which someone claimed that Thinstall used some code called OEP Finder that SafeDisc detects as a debugger.
My question is whether this is still relevant to ThinApp 4.5, and if so, is there a workaround?

Kevan

I have resigned to the fact that this is some anomaly in my base image. While I have no idea what that is, I am convinced that it is not reproducible on another clean XP Sp3 so while the error exists, it is solved by packaging on another image and has nothing to do with the version of Thinapp in use.
Thanks for all your help Maddy.

Hi, we've used ThinApp to deploy Spotify (a music subscription service not currently available in the US I think?) to our users...
This has worked just fine, untill Spotify auto updated to the latest (0.4.3) version last week. (Auto updates worked fine previously though).
Now they've made a sanity check or something and our users got notified that spotify.exe was damaged. Since we'd captured the original install using ThinApp 4.0.3 I figured maybe we'd just update. I repacked the capture with ThinApp 4.0.4 with no difference, and then I tried 4.5.
With ThinApp 4.5 the ThinApp unpacker launches and then... does nothing. No error message, no running/hanging process. It just exits.
I've since tried manually upgrading the spotify application, doing a fresh reinstall/capture with both 4.0.4 and 4.5 and the result is always the same.
Built using 4.0.3/4.0.4 I get the damaged spotify.exe
Built using 4.5 I get nothing.
Anyone else using Spotify that got it to work???

Hi Ryan,
There used to be some issue with the winhlp32.exe earlier in ThinApp, but that was fixed last year. Do you get this problem with the latest ThinApp version i.e. 4.5? I tried WordPerfect application, packages with ThinApp 4.5 and the help scenario works in it. May be this issue is specific to certain apps. I would recommend generating log files using the Log Monitor utility and look for the CreateProcess API call for winhlp32.exe in the file that is generated for the relevant process (there might be several files generated, one for each process in the application, by relevant I mean that process on whose window we clicked the Help menu item or pressed F1). This will help us get some idea as to whats going wrong.
Thanks.

HI,
As far as removing the changes made to the system registry goes, Thinapp doesn't support that.
Thanks.

I am trying to get Steam + Team Fortress 2 to work with Thinapp and I am unable to do so. I think the main problem might be that steam itself installs Team Fortress 2 before playing and Thinapp is unable to run TF2 in a sandbox.
I have tried the following methods and none of them work:
1: Prescan, Install Steam, Postscan, Build sandbox, Run sandboxed Steam, Install TF2, Run TF2
2: Prescan, Install Steam, Run normal Steam, Install TF2, Run TF2, Postscan, Build Sandbox, Run sandboxed Steam+TF2
Anyone have any experience with Steam and Thinapp?
If not, what I would like to do is to run an external application (ie. TF2) in the sandbox of a different application (ie. Steam). Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Was this ever resolved? We are demoing ThinApp 4.5. Using the MSI based install / uninstall leaves most of the files on the disk drive. Then when we attempt a reinstall (without manually cleaning up the files) the installer fails saying "Can't create target file. File exists"
How can we get ThinApp to clean up after itself?

Thank you (both) for troubling to reply.
I've tried what you suggested - alas, with no success.
It looks like an OLE error (or similar) to me, something blocking the signalling between two processes.
Any more ideas gratefully received.

Best work-around is probably to install the application to somewhere outside C:\Program Files (e.g. install to C:\TheApp, this will translate to %drive_C%\TheApp on both 32 bit and 64 bit platforms.)

Hey I'm back again bearing good news.
I seem to have fixed the problem I had with the FNP crash right at start of the application.
It seems the virtual application asks the host operating system where your %ProgramFilesDir% is located.
I had captured the application installing it on C: so within the virtual application it's C: too.
The host operating system I was running it on had it's Program Files directory installed on D: so it told the virtual app to look on D: within the sandbox.
Of course this dir didn't excist so the FNPLicensingService crashed.
The easiest way to solve this is to installed the application virtually in C:\ (root) or in an uncommon subdir like C:\Adobe
The virtual application will then not ask the host operating system for any variable.
I hope you get the chance to try this and post back here with joy.
Regards, Josh
