/* sorry if this is a repost, but I can't seem to find my previous post on the forum */

I'm currently testing Thinapp in a Terminal Server environment.

Problem is that my Thinapp is dependent on the hostname of the PC it runs on. When running on Terminal Services, this means that every single Thinapp application sees the name of the Terminal Server as hostname.

Terminal Services knows the clientname (it's stored in the environment variable %CLIENTNAME%). Is there any way I can make the Thinapp application believe that his hostname is %CLIENTNAME% ? I can't use the VirtualComputerName in the Package.ini, because that sets a fixed computername for all clients. Basically, I need a way to dynamically change the VirtualComputerName.

Thanks,

Filip

In 4.0.3 (which will be released Real Soon Now) you'll be able to use environment variables in the VirtualComputerName, so you'll be able to set "VirtualComputerName=%CLIENTNAME%".
