    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The path used is not the real 'short filename format' (8.3), as in that way it would be shortened to ABCDEF~1.XXX (it numbers it at the end then). For some reason the file names are incorrectly resolved.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Check your entrypoint definition (package.ini) and configuration files of the application if there the 'short format' is used...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To get it operational, you could of course just install it in the C-root in a 8.3 compatible folder. I know it is a wor-around, but it at least would work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Kind regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Michael&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Its an old 16-bit school program (windows, not DOS).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;tried with 4.0.4 and 4.5.0, Xp sp3 Swedish..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Tried with WriteCopy and Merged as default isolationmode..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When the app starts, it looks for some small files in its workingdirectory.

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for reporting the issue. I reproduced the problem and confirmed it's a bug in ThinApp. I submitted an internal bug report; the bug will be fixed in one of the next versions of ThinApp. I apologize for the inconvenience.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Best regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;muriwai&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
