Hi,
In this article VMware KB: Packaging guide for ThinApp 5.x and Microsoft Office 2013 It says that there is currently no support for Office 2013 and Thinapp on Windows 8.1.
Is this still a known issue or is there ANY workarounds here?
I see that in most packaging guides you need to stop the osppsvc service, but I cant find that service on Windows 8.1 (also checked when having opened Office). Is this the reason why its not supported?
It would be appreciated if someone could give us some clues on when or if this will be supported?
This is an important question that comes up when making larger design decisions for our VDI infrastructure, regarding having Office 2013 applications virtualized or native installed on the parent image.
We have Office 2013 on the image already, but this actually regards Project 2013 and Visio 2013, but it looks like the licensing issue is impacting the whole Office 2013 suite family.
