How to capture a browser add-on that is only compatible on XP

Hi,

 

I'm working on a virtualizing IE8 using ThinApp 4.7 because of a website's compatibility with Windows 7. The site needs special configuration/setting change for the browser and it also depends on some activeX. Those activeX controls are installed manually by extracting dll and inf files from some cab files. The inf file needs to be installed by right click --> Install and the dll file needs to be registered on Windows XP. The inf file doesn't install on Windows 7 natively. I've captured IE 8 from Windows XP with all the required settings and installed the activeX files. Tested and confirmed that the site working properly.

 

After building the project, I can run the virtual IE 8 on a Windows 7 machine that has IE 9 installed natively. But that website is not functioning properly. The virtual IE8 is fully functional. So, it seems that the activeX setup or the dll registration didn't get captured. Could someone help me troubleshoot where this went wrong?

 

Thanks,
