ThinApp'ed IE6 issues with Temporary Internet Files folder.

Hi,
I am currently facing an issue with a Thinapp'ed IE 6 Module. We are trying to run a web based application Via a thinapp'ed IE6 Module. At one point during the functionality testing we need to download a report(both .xls and .pdf format) and open the same.
However, opening the same gives a "file not found" error. On further analysis we see that this files is getting downloaded to "Temporary internet files" folder and the file just gets deleted automatically before it opens.
We tried setting the isolation mode to "Merged" in the ##attributes.ini" file in %Internet Cache% in the project directory.
Also, we tried adding the below properties in Package.ini File, but no luck.
VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0
ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=WINWORD.EXE;EXCEL.EXE;POWERPNT.EXE;OUTLOOK.EXE;MOC.EXE
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=External
We are not sure how the file is actually getting deleted from Temporary internet files" folder automatically.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

I did a fresh capture of IE6 with ThinApp 4.7.3 891762.

Introduced the following changes to the package.ini

VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0

ChildProcessEnviromentExceptions=AcroRd32.exe
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual
Rebuilt the package.
Launched the VirtIE6 on a machine where Adobe reader 9.2 was natively installed.

The pdf was opened IE 6.

Just realised it was the same post in the other ThinApp forum:
