Installation/Updating Thinapp in View

[mhashemi]

I've created a Thinapp of Firefox 9.0.1. During the process, I created some bookmarks and added URL redirection. Finally, I setup View to install the app into my linked clones. Now I have three questions:

1. How do I update the app so I can add some bookmarks?

2. The redirection doesn't seem to work. Instead of opening in the VM's default browser (IE), the URL is opening in the Thinapp. How do I troubleshoot that?

3. In the View Manager, I can see that Firefox is assigned to my pool and installed, but I don't see it in the VM's start menu? How do I troubleshoot that?

Thanks

I suggest to try using the previous version of Firefox. Thinapp may not be compatible with it as version 9 is a bit new.

Are you suggesting that for the second and third questions, or just one? I'm open to trying that, but what about updating to add bookmarks (I'll have to do it eventually)?

Thanks.

Firefox versions 9 and 10 work fine for me as ThinApp packages.

For updating a ThinApp package, I suggest reviewing the following:

ThinApp Blogs: A Guide to Updating a ThinApp - http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2010/05/thinapp-updating.html

ThinApp BootCamp Series - http://vmware.com/go/thinappbootcamp

For #2, you'll likely want to use the IgnoreDDEMessages=1 Buil Option in the ThinApp project's PACKAGE.INI file.  See the ThinApp 4.6.2 Release Notes (http://www.vmware.com/support/thinapp4/doc/releasenotes_thinapp462.html) for more info on this setting.
