Long file names (as in to long, >256 chars incl path)

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:27:54 GMT

Hi,

I just want to share a issue (and the solution) we had some people almost giving up...

We just could not figure out what the problem was.

Person 1 captures the app and builds: Succes
Person 2 captures the app and builds: Fail
Person 1 builds app captured by person 2: Succes
(and many other permutations, tests, conditions, ...)

Finally we discovered that the problem was that during the export Person 2 had ThinApp write the capture directly to the folder on the network and Person 1 write it to a folder on the local system, and copied that manually to the network.

Apparently either during the write (ThinApp save differences start and end snapshot) or during the copy operation to the network the file name length was to long (placed to deep in subfolders). The filename length reached > 256 and the filename was truncated to the 8.3 format (insead of long filenames...)

Result:
Some files for .NET (assemblies in %systemsystem%\binaries\....), all with long filenames were corrupted...

The problem was that office did work well in general, just some seldom used features failed.

So in case you do have strange feelings: dump your directory structure (dir /s) and seach for '~1'. Who knows, maybe you are suffering a similar issue...

Kind regards,
Michael Baars

ThinApp'd Package Won't LAUNCH!

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:50:47 GMT

I am using ThinApp 4.0.0-2200, fully Licensed, on a VMware Workstation 6.5 Windows XP Pro VM... I have used it to create a Package of a large enterprise App at one of our Customer sites...

The Capture went very well, and -- during the Capture -- I launched the App successfullly about 3 times in a row... Then completed the Capture, and watched as all the components got a

"success" message during creation...

But when I go to the BIN folder and double-click the EXE, nothing happens... I left it alone for awhile, thinking perhaps it was turning up for the first time in the background, but... nothing...

Anything in particular that I should be looking for?

The "primary data container" was (the only .DAT file in the whole package) "Adobe AIR.dat"... Chose "USB Flash" drive for the Sandbox location..."Merged Isolation" mode...

"Build an MSI" and "No Compression" were the last two choices...

BTW, I just packaged FireFox 3.0 on this same computer, AFTER my big app capture, just to be sure ThinApp isn't broken... FireFox launches just fine...

Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

Configuring a Wyse V10L for TCX with VDI

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:06:19 GMT

This document describes the process of configuring a Wyse V10L to work with TCX.

This is an open Wiki for the community to evolve and improve.

What is TCX

TCX are enrichment extensions to allow additional features to your remote sessions. There are currently three extensions and more planned.

Multimedia - TCX Multimedia is a software layer on the server that intelligently redirects the multimedia processing tasks dynamically between the client and server. The multimedia stream decodes locally on the client using the local processing power of the device thereby providing complete multimedia playback capabilities overcoming any limitations that are inherent in traditional thin computing architectures.

USB Virtualisation - Enables the sharing and discovery of local USB devices as if they were connected directly on the Virtualized Desktop environment. Solves the USB peripheral issues when it comes to deploying thin clients. No more compromise on limited local drivers. The Wyse thin clients now can seamlessly access their USB-based printers, scanners, storage devices, Palm, BlackBerry, and Pocket PC handhelds over VDI environment.

What do I need?

You will need :

a terminal,
a license key for the component of TCX you are enabling (either multi-media or USB redirection)
the Wyse software for the virtual machine
an FTP server to place the config files
a DHCP server to place some options string in

Step 1 - Get your V10L working and pulling its config off the central FTP servers wnos.ini file.

An example entry into your wnos.ini file.

SignOn=yes
autoload=1
EnableKeyboardMouseSettings=no
SessionConfig=ALL 
MapDisks=yes
DomainList=YOURDOMAIN
VDIBroker=https://192.168.1.100/
Timeserver=192.168.12.40
TimeZone='GMT + 10:00' ManualOverride=yes Daylight=yes Start=100107 End=040107 TimeZoneName="AUS Eastern Standard Time" DayLightName="AUS Eastern Daylight Time"
Language=Au

Step 2 - Add the settings for TCX to your wnos.ini file

Put your license code for TCX into the wnos.ini file. If you have multiple separate by a comma.

TCXLicense=AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEE,FFFFF-GGGGG-HHHHH-IIIII-JJJJJ

Step 3 - Install the Wyse software into your VM

Get the latest extensions from the Wyse website. You then need to install them inside the virtual machine that the terminals will be connected to. You are going to want to make them part of your SOE or template which drives your pools.

Step 4 - Test

Now you can do your testing to make sure it all works.

For multimedia you just need to play video of a supported format. Try it full screen and see if the sound is in sync. You can also look on the log file in your client and you will see an entry showing that decoding has started.

Another way to see if video is working if you have dual screens is sit the video across the two screens, you will see that only half the video plays, depending which screen has the greater view of the video. A current limitation is spanning two monitors.

To test the USB attach a simple USB device such as a storage device. Again you should see the entries on the clients log showing a new device has been inserted. You virtual machine should report new hardware detected and load the driver or the device will just start working.

It does not work. What now?

If USB is not working you may need to set the terminal to map through the USB device. Put an entry of "unmapusb=no" into your wnos.ini file.

Further reading and helpful links

The ThinOS Admin guide has the details of the configuration options, especially for the important ones for the wnos.ini file.
The next thing your will want to do is get it working with VDM, see Using the Wyse V10L and S10 Thin Clients with VDM.

Distribution rights of a thinapp application

paul.davey@xtravirt.com — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:49:31 GMT

All,

If for example I was to package up my own applications in to a ThinApp deliverable exe or MSI what are my rights for distribution? If I wanted to allow users to download an opensource application or an application created by myself in a thinapp wrapper, can I do this?

Thanks,

Paul
