I have not been able to arrive at an acceptable launch time for Office 2007 applications.
I have packaged just Word separately (included shared components & tools) to try to reduce package size and the best times are:
1st launch =12 seconds
2nd launch = 6 seconds
Have followed instructions on VMWare ThinApp manual and step by step instructions blog (http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2008/10/how-to-thinap-1.html)
Have kept defaults:
CompressionType=None
OptimizeFor=Memory
Have reduced package size by deleting .msi in %SystemRoot% \ Installler
Isolation mode is WriteCopy.
Build is on XP SP2 32b, Deploy is on W7 64b.
Can anyone assist please?
Thanks in advanced
Delete the %Fonts% folder. Have the fonts registered natively instead.
Any services being started? Verify by specifying below in the package.ini, rebuild and test launch.
[BuildOptions]
AutoStartServices=0
Is this using streaming or local mode distribution?

pbjork,
Your suggestions did the trick !
The best results are achieved by combining both your suggestions, the removal of the %Fonts% folder and setting AutoStartServices=0:
1st launch: 9 seconds
Subsequent launches: under 1 second
Thanks a million for your input !!!
To answer your question it's local mode distribution.
