I have Thinapped IBM SPSS Statistics v19.0 with SPSS Smart Reader. The build is compressed, the content of the %Installer% project folder has been removed (except for icon files). The compiled DAT file is 1.1GB in size. The Thinapp application takes over 3 minutes to launch.
I am streaming the Thinapp to our Windows 7 desktop pool from a SAN CIFS share over a 1GB network link. Other applications are launching much quicker, even when the DAT file is this large. When the application finally launches, usage performance is okay.
Are there any tips for incresing the launch speed of Thinapps? I have only seen articles relating relating to removing DLL file links in MS Office etc.
