Strange Behavior-View 5 and ThinApp

Ok I hope this does not turn out to be a simple issue since I have spent almost 2 days looking at this. Anyway...

I have a View 5 environment with ESXi 5. I am testing ThinApp 4.6 deployment and have run into some interesting issues.

I have 1 pool that is setup as a Floating Pool for Windows 7. I have 2 Windows 7 machines that I am using for testing. I have packaged 3 different software for testing (Google Chrome, FireFox, and Adobe Reader). I have placed protected groups on the packages. I have tested them by clicking on then and I get a message that states that I am not authorized to use them. So far so good. I then create a read-only share and place my executable into them. I created a really simple Thinreg script that registers the applications according to the guides.

The problem I have is that I place my test use into the proper group’s then login as that test user.  Some of the applications are registered and I can see the shortcut where I intended it to be.  The others are not registered.  For instance I placed the user into a group for Chrome and Chrome was not installed.  I clicked on the shortcut on the share and still got the error message saying I was not authorized.  I checked the security group and I am in the group.  I run a GPRESULT (To get the group assignments for the user) and I do not see the chrome group associated to the user.  I log off Windows 7 and back in and still no change.  I might have to do that for 3-4 times before it takes.  Looking at the AD event log I can see the user logging into AD and Logging off each time.  I can also see on the View Administrator when the user logs of the pool desktop.

Question 1:  Why is the View user not seeing the new groups?  As a side note on a physical desktop the groups are applied at login each time I make any changes.

The other issue I have is that my original share I was using for streaming was changed to a different share.  The first one I was just testing something’s out.  Now when I can get an application to register correctly the path to the shortcut is the old one.  I have even tried to uninstall the application.

Question 2:  Why is the path not correct after it installed once then I moved it to a different share?

I appreciate any help and clarification.
