Citrix M: Drive

How do you get thinapps to work on a Citrix server which has a M: boot drive rather than C:?  I get a fatal execution error which refers to the M: drive on the Citrix server when trying to open my thinapps on it.

ThinApp runtime in it self should not care if there is a C-drive available or not. The application packaged might. You can virtualize drive C so it is available to the application. If GPO settings hides the C-drive for the application can you disable GPOs in the package.

Peter is correct on all accounts.

However, on the off chance running a ThinApp packaged app which was captured on a clean Capture and Build VM which has a C: drive ends up failing when running on a Windows OS which doesn't have a C: drive (as in your case), then you can always remap the root drive of the Clean Capture and Build VM prior to doing your ThinApp Prescan/App Install/Postscan/Build.

I believe Citrix's DRIVEREMAP.EXE tool still resides on the XenApp/MetaFrame/Presentation Server install cd.  Just copy that to your clean Capture and Build VM and run it on there as it shouldn't be Terminal Server OS specific.

Hope this helps.
