ThinApp launching local installed program

[DwayneL]

Hey guys and gals

I am having a problem where a streaming ThinApp(SAP) has a reference to a web link and is launching local installed program. The SAP package seems to looking for the msi that was used to install the locally installed program instead of opening IE and going to the right webpage. If the user has admin rights on the VM it works fine.

I have reinstalled the locally installed program a couple of times from different locations and have even left the install package on the machine with no luck. I also double check file associations.

Do you have any ideas or guidenace?

few guesses,

From virtual command prompt. See if you can  can access the location of installed program. (I doubt that it can)

Check with the native installation (SAP), and see how it behave in same scenario.

To me it looks like a case where virtual application is trying to access some resource (file/registry); which the user is not authorised for, when it does not found that it launches the backup plan; which is to instal the required software.
