Hello community,
I am trying to ThinApp Skype (oh no!) in Version v6.03.105 on a customers request. It's the 'normal' version, as far as i know there exists no 'business' version any more.
We have linked clones (WIN7 Prof.) in our customers environment, based on VMware View 4.7. ThinApp v4.7 too.
I followed Lakshman's advice for v5.5 (pdf-document).
http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-18092
Application is able to start, but it takes +45 secs (app takes about 60MB of RAM). Even if I activate "start skype at windows startup" in installation progress, the application will not start on first ignition of Windows (I think this is due to the sandbox environment).
In earlier versions of Skype it was possible to regulate the options via a .adm-Template. There is an official "Administrators Guide" for v4.2. I miss these configuration options and couldn't find any working alternatives like reg-keys, install-options etc.
I get a very bad feeling thinking about deploying a Voip-tool that offers definition of ports, wifi-support, buttons for Microsoft Live Login and Facebook for any standard user.
Maybe anyone can share his or her experience with the ThinApp installation of Skype, Thanks!
