Hi all,
First, have to say that this is my first time with ThinApp. Use to package with Citrix or M$!!
I have thinapped an application on a clean Windows XP SP2 virtual machine. When I install the apps on Windows 7, the apps is searching for a dll in "C:\Program Files\AppsFolder\xxx.dll" and won't start.
I looke everywhere I don't find that dll.
If I take the specific dll that the apps is looking for at the right place, it work....(normal!!!)
So here is my questions:
Thanks for your help and sorry for my poor english!!

Are you copying the dll to C:\Program Files\AppsFolder to get it work? If thats the case, copy the dll into appropriate folder in the ThinApp project folder and rebuild the ThinApp by running build.bat in the ThinApp project folder.
By default, installing a ThinApp using MSI will go to C:\Program Files\AppName(VMware ThinApp) folder. Note that only the ThinApp executable (EXE) will be installed in this folder and copying any files (dll) into it will not work. The best way to handle is to add/modify the required changes in the ThinApp project folder and rebuilding it will give you an updated ThinApp EXE.

I solved the problem:
I was copying the folder in %ProgramFilesDir% and it wasn't working. I try to create a folder "Program Files" in %drive_C% instead and it works!
Thanks for your help!
