IE 6 Isolation for ActiveX Controls

$

I'm having a problem with IE6 (virtualised using TA 4.6.1) and I'm linking Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.26 for an internal Oracle site we use.  I can it to work on WinXP & Win7 vm but when I load it on our GPO managed image it crashes.  So I added this line to the HKLM to isolate the GPO site settings:

 

isolation_full HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

 

So that worked at isolating the system Browser GPO's from the virtual IE site zones.  But I cannot figure out how to isolate the ActiveX controls which still show up in full when in the virtual IE.  I have the Browser Helper objects isolated but I need help.

 

Basically when I link the JInitiator package with the VirtIE6 package it works on XP & Win7 with no UAC or Aero.  When I install it together on our managed Win7 Pc's the only way I can get it to work is via "RunAsAdmin".  So I created a shim with DisableThemes & RunAsAdmin (mode, not fix) and it doesn't work.

 

BTW, how does anybody debug any of this stuff?  The ThinApp log monitor is just about useless.  I get 2-3 GB txt files that can't be opened and ProcMon, ProcExp & Dependency Walker help but again, there is no clear idicator at how any of this is functioning.  I'm about ready to drop any and all virtualization until there is a product out that actually works consistently.
