ThinApp version 4.7.3
Build 891762
Release Notes
https://www.vmware.com/support/thinapp4/doc/releasenotes_thinapp473.html
このバージョンの目玉は、Windows 8 がサポートされたことです。
また、たくさんのfixされた物があるので、今まで以上に安定的に、たくさんの
Windowsアプリが仮想化できるとおもいます。
私が関係しそうな物もたくさんFixされたので、よかったです。
Package.iniに新しいパラメータが追加されました。
PreventDllInjection=1
です。
WindowsXPにNxPowerLiteがインストールされている環境の場合に、ThinAppedされた
仮想アプリが、起動しなくなってしまう問題がありましたが、このオプションを適用することで
正常に起動できるようになります。
New Package.ini parameter - You can use the PreventDllInjection=1 parameter to prevent ThinApp runtime from loading a DLL when another external application calls the SetWindowHook to set a global hook. This parameter should be used only when the hook is in conflict with a virtualized application. For example, if a virtualized application is unable to start because the other application NxPowerLite calls SetWindowsHook to set a global hook oehook.dll, modifying the package.ini with PreventDllInjection entry allows the virtualized application to start.[BuildOptions]
PreventDllInjection=1
と書くことで、起動時にThinAppedされた仮想アプリケーションが動作しなかったり
動作が不安定になる事象が改善される可能性があります。
見所は、既知の問題として、報告されている物の部分は、以前のリリースノートでは
既知の問題として、記載されているだけでしたが、
今回のリリースノートでは、対処方法まで丁寧に解説されています。
仮想アプリが、正常に動作しなくて悩んでいる方は、是非、既知の問題の
内容を確認して、対処方法を試してみて下さい。
