SAP GUI and MS-Word Integration

Hi All,

we are trying to thinapp SAP GUI.

We followed the VMware Solution Readiness document "Virtualizing SAP GUI with VMware Thinapp".

Normally, for some text editing, a word component is integrated in sapgui.

To do this, it downloads a word template "SAPscriptWord2007".

There, the problems comes.

With the thinapp, the sapgui downloads the file to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thinstall\SAPGUI\%AppData%\Microsoft\templates

Which is logic, as it is the thinapp location.

But then, it tries to load the template from C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

Test made:

- delete the template in both template directories

- start thinapp sapgui, and start the text edit application

=> error message displayed: cannot locate template

- template file found in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thinstall\SAPGUI\%AppData%\Microsoft\templates

- copy the template file from C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thinstall\SAPGUI\%AppData%\Microsoft\templates to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

=> textedit application in sapgui works.

I don't know if it is a problem of SAP or Thinapp

Could you help?

Thanks for your help !
