Thinapping IE8 for Windows 7 with IE9/10 Installed Locally

Hey all,

I'm trying to package IE8 and a specific Java version, so a customer can move forward with a new version of IE. I've seen a few good articles and pointers on thinapping IE8, but am running into a few problems when attempting to run IE8 on a Windows 7 machine after capturing it on an Windows XP box. As far as I know, the only supported way of capturing IE8 is on Windows XP, but at this point I might try capturing the Windows feature addition process.

The crash that I'm getting is:

On my clean XP SP3 with .NET 3.5 SP1 capture machine I perform the following:

1. Prescan

2. Install IE8

3. Install Java

4. Test Java

5. Customize Home page

6. Post Scan

7. Select Write/Copy Isolation Mode

8. In Package INI change streaming to 1

9. Build.

Now, I test on a clean Windows XP VM, works great.

Now, I test on a clean Windows 7 box, works great.

Now, I upgrade IE on the Windows 7 box to IE9 or IE10 and I get this crash on launch.

I'm going to keep working on this, but figured I'd post it in case anybody else has encountered this.

Not sure why, but when I disable all folder sharing on the VMware Fusion XP capture VM, the problem appears to have fixed itself. Works like a champ now. Wish I had a better explanation as to why this was happening.
