Hi all..

Since it has been quite a few discussions lately regarding ThinApping Office 2010..

Here is a blog post on how to do it with latest ThinApp build (4.6.1): http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2011/02/quick-start-guide-for-deploying-office-2010-using-thinapp-46...

He,

Having trouble activating the Office 2010 with ThinApp 4.6.1.

- Do we still need to use a script or not?

- If yes, is it office2010 (from microsoft) or office2010-1 (from vmware)?

- When i start, for example, Word 2010, it's telling me it's not activated.

- When closing any program of the virtualized Office 2010, the .exe and .dat stay active in Task Manager, do I need to use a KillScript?

So did anyone actually get this working yet?

Yes. You no need any additional script. Activating Office 2010 ThinApp depends on type of license you have.

If the type of license is KMS, then office can be activated silently. If MAK, launching any office thinapp application (say WORD) will pop up the activation dialog, where in you have to activate it first time, either online or through telephone.

May i know the type of license you have and the issues?

Thanks
