Using ThinApp with Oracle 9
I have a genotyping application called GeneMapper that only runs on Windows XP. It installs a local Oracle 9 database. I have successfully packaged the application but am only able to get it to run on the host that it was packaged on. I know that it is a clean install because I snapshot the machine before i package the app and revert it after the package is complee. After the install but before the post-scan, i have tried replacing the hostname with localhost in the tnsnames.ora, listner.ora, and sqlnet.ora files.
I still get an error saying that the application cannot connect to the database. Does anyone have experience packing an app that has a Oracle database installed with it?

Judging by the name, look like a medical app. I thinapp-ed plenty of medical apps installing an oracle client but not a database.
First thing you can do is testing the oracle connectivity inside the virtual bubble. Open the package.ini file from your project folder and remove or comment the line "Disabled=1" for the entry point [cmd.exe]. This entry point should be at the end of the file. Then recompile by executing build.bat.
Open the virtual cmd.exe and do the following:
Type tnsping <service name> (for Oracle 7.3 or Oracle 8i and later) or tnsping80 <service name> (for Oracle 8.0), and then press enter.
You can also try to connect with the sql plus command line.
