Virtualize IE6 and JInitiator for kVASy

Here is the procedure on virtualization of Internet Explorer 6 and JInitiator 1.3.1.26 concerning the work with kVASy (this might be useful for other applications as well):

1. Start "Prescan" from ThinApp;

2. Install JInitiator 1.3.1.26;

3. Start kVASy and accept all dependencies (certificates, site popups, etc.);

4. From „jdk-1_5_0_22-windows-i586-p.exe“ take jvm.dll and put it into "C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.26\bin\hotspot" replacing the old jvm.dll file;
5. In „C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.26“ create new folder “Cache”;
6. Go to JInitiator's Settings => tab "Cache", choose "Clear JAR Cache" and change path to "C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.26\Cache". At the end click on "Apply";

7. Start "Postscan" with option "Include an entry point for a fully virtualized Internet Explorer";

8. In "isolation_full HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" add the following two rows:

Value=Check_Associations

REG_SZ~No#2300

9. Install JInitiator 1.3.1.26 locally on the machine that you will use kVASy (e.g. Master Image) and follow the steps from 4 to 6;

10. Create a file with name "deployment.config" in "C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.26\lib" and add this two rows:
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/Windows/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties

deployment.system.config.mandatory=false

You can try few configuration (e.g. without "deployment.system.config.mandatory=false" or deployment.system.config.mandatory=true);

11. In "C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment" create a file "deployment.properties" and add: "-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true".

Now your machine is ready for deploying.

P.S. If you want to use kVASy or other application with JInitiator 1.3.1.26 in IE 8, 9 or 10 the only thing you have to do is to take jvm.dll file from „jdk-1_5_0_22-windows-i586-p.exe“ and put it in "C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.26\bin\hotspot" and follow steps 10 and 11.
