Is anyone using either Appsense's Environment Manager or RTO's virtual profiles with thinapp delivered applications? Any recommendations or feedback will be appreciated.

Has anyone tried InstallFree? We are a ThinAPP shop for now, but it is becoming a pain in neck to work with Vmware's incompetent customer support and their non-disclosure policies. Anyway, we had a demo of InstallFree and it definitely has some cool features that ThinAPP is lacking - complete shell integration, easy process to upgrade packages (ThinAPP has one too but it never worked for us), no clean machine required to capture your packages and light-weight application provisioning tool that integrates very well with AD. They said they are releasing 64-bit support in January and I think it will be a serious competitor for ThinAPP. We will give it a serious consideration to make a switch when they have the 64-bit support. If anyone of you have used InstallFree, can you share your experiences?

You are not alone in this. The use case that we tested is a little different. We tried to insert an excel file into powerpoint. All components of Office are virtual. I opened a SR and was told that the error is caused because thinAPP doesn't support OLE. The support engineer also indicated that VmWare does not have any plans to support OLE in the near future.
Yes. it's the virtual entry point that we go through. We tried the default isolation mode which is full. And this works as intended.

We thinapp'd Office 2007 suite (with applinks to Oracle) and included ODBC administrator as an entry point so users can create ODBC connections and access data from from Oracle servers in Excel or Access. All ODBC connections are currently defined within the sandbox and we are trying to make them persistent so users don't have to re-create them every time they wipe their sandbox. Any ideas on how to make this happen? We already tried setting the isolation mode for HKCU\Software\ODBC, HKCU\software\ODBC\ODBC.INI and HKCU\software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\Data Source to merged. It did not work.
