      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did capture with 4.6.1 so I doubt that what you mention will help.&amp;nbsp; I did try it and it did not make a difference.&amp;nbsp; Weird that the links have the flying windows icon and when it is accessed I am prompted with a screen asking me what application I would like to use to open it.&amp;nbsp; I have never seen this before.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;To clarify, the issue I am speaking of occurs when one &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;captures&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; with ThinApp 4.6.1 and the &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;builds&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; with ThinApp 4.6.0 or earlier without modifying the PACKAGE.INI settings mentioned above.&amp;nbsp; An example would be, you capture on one system and then copy the project out to a network share and use ThinApp on another system to build that project into a package (not realizing the ThinApp version used to build is an older version).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As for your issue, I went back and looked at the PACKAGE.INI file and your entry points which are enabled do not have an ending ".EXE" in the section title.&amp;nbsp; This is needed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Your Entry Point:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Analysis Tools]&lt;BR /&gt;Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\SysTrackTools\Analyze.exe&lt;BR /&gt;Shortcut=SysTrack Admin Tools.dat&lt;BR /&gt;workingDirectory=%ProgramFilesDir%\SysTrackTools\&lt;BR /&gt;Shortcuts=%Desktop%;%programs%\Systrack&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #333333; text-decoration: underline; "&gt;What it should be:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Analysis Tools&lt;SPAN style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;.exe&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;]&lt;BR /&gt;Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\SysTrackTools\Analyze.exe&lt;BR /&gt;Shortcut=SysTrack Admin Tools.dat&lt;BR /&gt;workingDirectory=%ProgramFilesDir%\SysTrackTools\&lt;BR /&gt;Shortcuts=%Desktop%;%programs%\Systrack&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;NOTE:&amp;nbsp; I bolded and change the color to red on the one change I made (adding the ".exe" in the entry point name).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To read more on entry points and how they work, see the ThinApp Blogs article "&lt;A href="http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2010/02/data-containers-entry-points-and-dats---oh-my.html"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;ThinApp Data Containers, Entry Points, and DATs - Oh My!&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also see the Online Pubs article "&lt;A href="http://pubs.vmware.com/thinapp4/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=setup_capture_define_entry_pt.html"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Defining Entry Points as Shortcuts into the Virtual Environment&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Dean F.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://pubs.vmware.com/thinapp4/help/"&gt;http://pubs.vmware.com/thinapp4/help/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
