Thinapp printing problem with windows 7 64bits

Thinapp printing problem with windows 7 64bits


Hi,

I've virtualize my app and it works fine under Win XP and Win 7 32bits but I get printer errors with Win 7 64bits.

.

I'm using Thinapp 4.6.1.

I've tried with and without the folder %SystemSystem%\spool.

Do you have any Idea why?

Is the printing system under windows 7 64bits that different from Win 7 32bits?

Need help ASAP!

TIA

I have seen print issues when Wow64 is enabled in the package.ini. Please disable it, rebuild and test the package.

Hi,

We've solved this issue by creating a "Spool" folder in de %SystemSystem(x64)% directory. Create an Atributes.ini file with the DirectoryIsiolationMode=Merged.

You can also copy the Spool folder (including the correct attributes.ini) from the %SystemSystem% folder to the %SystemSystem(x64)% folder.

Rebuild your ThinApp and you're good to go.

This solved our printing problems on an 64-bits workstation with a ThinApp packaged on a 32-bits reference VM.
