Problems with ThinApp'ed application that uses native WINWORD.exe

$

Hi,

I'm using ThinApp 4.7.3 to virtualize an application that consist of a couple of HTML files and word documents.

The ThinApp'ed entrypoint startup command is something like

CommandLine="%ProgramFilesDir%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "%ProgramFilesDir%\MyApp\MyApp.htm"

 

Notice that we are using the native Internet Explorer here. Which is running fine, but the webpage also includes multiple .doc files which need to be opened using a native installed Office 2010. When opening files, WINWORD shows "Microsoft Office cannot verify the license for this application"

 

I've already tried to alter my package.ini to allow WINWORD to open outside the virtualised environment with the following as per link

 

VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0
ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=WINWORD.EXE
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual

 

The actual problem is I can see that WINWORD.exe is starting when the .doc document is opened from the webpage using task manager, but it does not show it at the end user. It appear to be stuck at the background or it does not appear to the enduser. So I kill the process after waiting for a while.

 

Next time I try to start WINWORD.exe natively, I see it has the .doc I selected from the webpage before as a repaired/recovered document, which it cannot open because the file is not found, probably because it's outside the bubble.

 

Any thoughts on this?

 

Kind regards,

Arnold Veenema
