ThinApp'ing Xcelsius 2008 Error upon Exiting the application

Has anyone succeded in ThinApp'ing Xcelsius 2008. I captured it on WinXP as it does not install manually on Win7. The Thinapped msi is working fine and every tab is working fine and able to save the work done on that app.

The Problem is when I exit the application it gives an error "Xcelsius.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Attached is the screen shot. One more thing is it opens Excel in the background. I can see the Excel in the Task Manager even after I close the Xcelsius.exe. I dont know thats the reason for the error.

Please assist. Thanks in advance.

Try to put under [BuildOptions] in your Package.ini following line:

ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=External

Rebuild application and try again.

Have a nice day,

Hi Cievo,

I tried that and a bunch of other trial and error trouble shootings. But it didnot work. The Excel is still there in the background when i close the application. I think this is what causing the error.Is there any way that we can close excel along with the app. When i install manually and close the app Excel do close along with it.

It is possible to write script in virtual bubble. You can write script that closes all running Excel when virtual application is closing.

We can do that, but the concern is if any other excel documents or Excel apps running at that time will also be terminated which we dont want.
