Hey guys!
Following: I'am working on a CorelDraw X4 ThinApp at the moment.
Packaging Process worked well.(Used a clean VM, newest ThinApp realease: 4.0.3-3313)
Now the Problem. If I want to use the Thinapp on a computer with MS Office 2003 installed, it tries to install something (process msi.exe starts, and you can see Office install assistant starting. but its not possible for the installer to install the required stuff) and then the application crashes.
I already tried installing this office on the virtual machine before packaging corel. but no effect...
I can only use the Isolation modes writecopy and merged. if thinapp it full, it wouldn't be possible to use other interfaces to existing applications..
I know that it is possible to hide local files from the thinapp (http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2009/02/how-to-ignore-local-system-files-and-registry-entries-inside-a-thinapp-package.html)
but is it also possible to hide local folders from the thinapp? It's a bit more comfortable to hide single folders with the files included than every single file...
btw.. if you try using this thinapp on a machine without office installed, it is working perfectly (in addition Office as a thinapp works, but we have many applications with Macros and other installed interfaces to office i could not thinapp yet.
