Old VB 6 application, written for windows 2000

Old VB 6 application, written for windows 2000.

Hi All, I am still new to Thinapp so sorry if I ask any noob questions.

I have an application that was written for Windows 2000, which kind of works in Windows XP (crashes unexpectedly) which the manufactures no longer support.

The application is called ArchivesOne and was written in VB 6.

I have a problem, I have created a basic win2000 machine in Workstation and captured the installation and tested that ArchivesOne works but the final built application crashes with either no errors or just a generic application crash.

Does anybody have any special advice as to how I can trouble shoot this kind of error?

I have tried capturing with windows XP and the same problem occurs.

Just to be clear the captured app crashes on both the original machine and other computers.

My aim is to have this package work in Windows XP and 32 bit Windows 7.

Thanks for your help

Hi Tobz123,

When capturing legacy applications, I have had some success capturing them with ThinApp version 4.0.4. You should still be able to obtain it from the download site. Can you try repackaging with version 4.0.4 and forward the results?

Kindest regards,

Steve
