Trouble running application virtualized with ThinApp on Windows 7 32-bit

I have an application the runs based on Progress.  I virtualized the app on XP Pro and everything seemed to work fine.   When I run the app on Windows 7 parts of it don't work.

I actually get the same failures as when the application is installed natively on Windows 7, which is why I decided to virtualize the app.  I'm running the latest version of all the VMware software as this is a brand new installation.

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

I assume you have tried the following on the native install, but just to verify:

- Does the app work when running as administrator?

- Does the app start when you activate 'backward compatibility mode'? (setting 256 colors etc, not XP mode using the semi-VM!)

In case it works as administrator:

In case backward compatibility works:
