[Webmail] Open .odt or .doc Files directly with thinapped firefox

I`m trying to open Office Files (OpenOffice or MS Office) directly out of webmail using a thinapped firefox.

In Firefox I choose "open with: OpenOffice.org Writer.exe"

Then thinapped OpenOffice start and i`m getting the following error:

c:\users\$user\Appdata\Local\temp\testfile.doc doesn`t exist.

My Enviroment:

ThinApp 4.6.1

Windows 7 32

Thinapped Firefox 3.6.16

Thinapped OpenOffice 3.3.0

Any ideas?

I think it's isolation mode problem for AppData directory.

Have a look if you have in your project directory called %TEMP%. If so, check isolation mode in this directory in file ##Attributes.ini. If it's full, just change it to Merged.

If this directory doesn't exist try next test and let us know result Smiley Happy:

Copy any file into native directory c:\users\$user\Appdata\Local\temp.

Run debugging entrypoint virtualized with your virtualized OpenOffice cmd.exe and go to path c:\users\$user\Appdata\Local\temp and see if you can find file you just copied on native system.

***Good question is half of the answer...***

Hi Cievo,

it was exacly the problem you described.

I created a %TEMP% directory in the root of the project with an ##Attributes.ini File that has write mode "Merged"

After a rebuild of firefox everything works as aspected.

Thank`s a lot for your help!
