Embeding a ThinApp packaged application into a web page posted: Nov 4, 2009 4:29 AM

Hi again and thank you for a timely and useful information.

I'm trying to find how (if at all) is it possible to embed a packaged application (for example the browser I've already packaged) into a web page?
Not sure that this is a good direction. What I'm trying to gain is an object/component that I can embed into web pages and will give me a sand boxed part the user can browse web pages without compromising his/hers machine.

Thanks in advance,

-Dror

Hi,

In theory the simplest capture possible could be your solution.

Just start a capture, finish the capture and select that the 'iexplorer.exe' (marked with a *) is selected. And select the 'writecopy' isolation mode.
This will give your users the locally installed internet explorer, just sandboxed...

Some items i would change however:
  • Make sure favorites and other 'important' items are written to your system by setting them to merged mode (##atributes.ini) and have the sandbox auto-deleted upon application exit (option 'RemoveSandboxOnExit=0' in package.ini, remove the semicolon)

Of course there are any more posibilities... but that would be a bit more work to explain it all. Check the manuals and other posts on this topic...

Kind regards,
Michael Baars

If I understand you correct are you looking for a method of running a ThinApped application like in an iFrame on a web page?


All ThinApped packages are executed on the local machine so the user would have to download and execute the application on their PC. (If you use Citrix or something else to publish the app it is of course executed on the Terminal Server.)


That said I know of no method publishing a ThinApped app like what I think you are looking for.
