Bug fixが大半ですが、仮想アプリの動作がかなり安定しています。
特にVirtIE6に関しては、格段に安定度が増しました。

Package.iniの[BuildOptions]に1つ新しいオプションが増えました。
RemoveSandboxOnStart
仮想アプリ開始時に、Sandboxを削除してから起動する。
RemoveSandboxOnExitは昔からありましたが、開始(Start)にも指定できるのは
いいですね。

Known Issues

The following known issues are known to occur in ThinApp 4.7.1 release:
  • The facility management application FM TOOLS, virtualized using ThinApp 4.6.1 or ThinApp 4.6.2 fails to display graphs.

    To avoid deployment errors, you can install Adobe Flash Player to watch the video and revert to a clean snapshot of the capture system before you capture an application. If you do not want to install Adobe Flash Player, you can watch the video on YouTube from a browser outside of the capture environment.
  • A virtualized Internet Explorer 6 instance does not display Internet Explorer Help correctly on Windows 7.
  • Non-administrative users cannot run thinreg /a. If a non-administrative user runs thinreg /a on a virtualized instance of Internet Explorer 6 with a ThinDirect.txt file, although redirection is not implemented, an error message does not appear.
  • When deploying virtualized Japanese version of Microsoft 2007 Office on Windows 7, the Japanese characters inserted in Word might appear incorrectly. To correct the display, change the font to MS ゴシック.
  • A ThinApp package must be used with the ThinApp SDK on an operating system that uses the same code page (language).
  • In virtual Internet Explorer 9, you need to deselect the Enable Protected Mode check box in the Internet Options > Security tab, so that the Open in new tab feature works.
  • When you attempt to run virtual Microsoft 2010 applications the first time by double-clicking a file name, the application might fail to open, and an error message states that Windows cannot find a file. To search for the file, go to Start > Search > For files or folders and enter the file name. The application starts and the file opens.
