Thinapp 5.0 Integer updates

[lidokci]

With the addition (in Thinapp 5) of the ALT files...Has anyone been able to successfully in place update a Thinapp (that was created with Thinapp 5)?

Typically, I have the following files when creating a Thinapp.  We stream all Thinapps from a Network data share

.exe

.dat << PDC

.msi

With Thinapp 5, an .ALT file has been added to the mix

When I try to complete an in place update by doing the following:

.exe.1

.dat.1

.1.ALT << as instructed by a VMware Support tech

The application still runs the original version

In order to determine which version of the application is run for my testing, I change the sandbox name and Status Bar Display Name.

Any help would be appreciated.

What happens when you delete the .alt file from the Integer upgrade?

[lidokci]

The application starts to launch, but only briefly appears as a window outline, then closes.

[Lakshman]

Ok. I have not tried this before and not sure why the naming convention 1.ALT. Have you tried changing the filename to ALT.1?

[lidokci]

Yes, I have tried the ALT.1 extension...exactly the same results

[Lakshman]

Have you kept both the .dat file names as same?

[lidokci]

Yes the file names were kept the same ..

What happens if you put all the files local?

i think Ibourque is on the correct path. anytime i have done a sidebyside update with a dat.1 file it had to be a full local install and not streaming.
