ThinApp assessment and I have a few questions

I did a search... was not able to find anything specific to my question maybe I'm just blind.

I'm test ThinApp, and so far it looks like a great thing.  However I have a question... How an application updates itself if the changes are all sandboxed?  Is there a feature to capture tool to capture updates and apply them?

An example would be Adobe Acrobat (or any product Adobe also)... they are good on the application of patches and update.  When a new update comes out, I have to go to my capture VM and install the program, update, then finish the capture and build it again?

And what about programs that require a restart?  Starting the program captures automatically restarts?

Seeks to deploy via network shares.

ekisner,

I use firefox as an example.

Say I deploy as a thinapp firefox.exe, and people have the standbox stored in the default location (%AppData%) on the local machine (not a network share)

A new version comes out and firefox 3.0.10 released, firefox will download the updates in the sandbox of the user.  If a restart of the program is necessary, then just leave the application as usual and run it again.  The new version will be loaded.

The updated files are stored in the sandbox, so:

-each user must update firefox individually, and therefore your internet access will be used for each person.

-If the sandbox is removed, he reverts to the original version of firefox packaged with thinapp

In this situation, if AppData% % was pointed to a network location.  This means that you could possibly use a lot of space due to a large number of users.

Option 2... Turn off the 'auto-update' features  I probably suggests that if possible.  When you want to update the version of firefox, repackage the version that you want to use and stick, the network share as a firefox.1 (I think, consult the manual thinapp).

Therefore, the network share would be:

Firefox.exe

Firefox.1

When the thinapp runtime starts, it loads the most recent version (exe, then 1, then 2, then 3) etc.

  • Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional and I have a few questions?

    I'm about to upgrade to Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit, but I'm very nervous (stupid - I know).  Currently I have Vista on a SATA internal hard drive, but is planning to install Windows 7 on my much bigger and 2nd inside SATA hard drive, which currently has no importance to this subject?

    1. Is it possible to install Windows 7 on an internal hard drive with Vista on another?  I have no intention to use Vista more so once Windows 7 installed will not need to keep if it is possible to do.
    2. Assuming that I can install Windows 7 on disk more while Vista is a smaller, I cause operational problems by removing Vista once Windows 7 has been wing not unhooked?
    3. Assuming the above is possible I will be able to "faithfully" copy/move/import (not sure of the method - help please) users existing file structure and data from the old files of user profiles of Vista on the smaller disk to the new files in user profiles Windows 7 on disk more nothing lose or create compatibility problems?
    4. If not, should I just stick with the installation of Windows 7 over Vista and use the larger 2nd disk to store users.  I chose this option will data being stored on the disc more to maintain its security between users.  That is, if Winodws 7 is intalled on the smaller C drive and I connect like me, can I keep my data of user on the 2nd drive internal more all ensuring that other users cannot access the data just by accessing the 2nd disc via "my computer"? I hope that makes sense!
    5. It is even possible to store data of the user safely on another drive to the operating system, but still maintain user security principals / separate secure?
    6. It is possible to install Windows 7 on the 2nd largest drive I can (before deleting Vista) user folders simply drag - move in new files of the user, I create in Windows 7 or is it more complicated than that.  (I'll try to find the simplest method to keep user files structures and existing Vista and import/copy/move data in new user profiles in the new operating system).

    Sorry for all the questions but the family counts on me to get it right.

    Show stopper, is that you can do a upgrade in place of a 32 bit OS (Vista in your case) to a 64-bit (Windows 7 64 bit) OS, you must perform an installation "Custom"and clean. "

    This means that you should backup your media files data external 9to) before starting and reinstall all of your applications after installing Windows 7 64 bit.

    Question: Did you buy an "Upgrade" version or the "full version" of Windows 7?

    Regarding the drive to use, either will work, but the procedure is different.

  • Hard drive failure: have a few questions!

    Some info about my computer:
    • Toshiba Satellite laptop P755
    • There was more than one year
    • Windows 7 Home Edition Premium came with the laptop.
    Hello
    In the last few days I received an error saying that my hard drive can fail at any time, and for this reason, I have to back up my files. I run that a full backup as Windows Error Message had recommended that I do, but instead I just backed up my important files on a USB key. Finally, I know that my hard drive will fail, and at this point I am waiting. I am looking to buy a new HDD replacement , but I have a few questions that NEED to know before you proceed with the replacement of my current hard drive. Since I'm getting a new hard drive, should I buy a new key to activate Windows 7? Under my laptop, I have a Windows 7 Home Premium product key and my friend said that I will be able to borrow his Windows 7 Home Premium CD to install the operating system on my new hard drive. So do I still need to buy a new copy of Windows 7? I looked around forums and some people responded by saying that I won't need to buy a new copy of Windows 7 and when I install Windows on the new drive, it will be recognized that I had a genuine Windows 7 operating system. I had also heard tell that if I turned off my key using CMD, then I could re - use my key to install Windows. That's really all that I have questions, and I hope that this gets answered. Thank you.
    I also ran a scan through my hard drive and here are the results.

    Hello

    When the new drive arrives and it is installed, you shouldn't have any problems activating you replace just the hard drive and not the motherboard. The motherboard is what is important in the main OEM installations. If you have a COA sticker at the bottom of the laptop, or elsewhere, it will be what you use to activate Windows.

    If you have however poorly (you shouldn't), don't panic, just follow the phone activation method and you will be straightened out:

    1. start > Search > in the search box, type slui.exe 4
     
    2. press the key "enter".
     
    3. Select your country in the list
     
    4. choose the phone Activation
     
    5. stay on the phone and wait for an operator to help you, do not press the buttons, etc. Once you get an operator, explain your activation trouble and you should be set.

    Kind regards

    Hi, as the title says I do a disc factory reinstal of backup for the first time. I have a few questions.

    First of all, I need the disc because my current hard drive is a failure. (Not a SMART short self-test and.) And I wanted to know if the Dactory backup drive could be used on a new hard drive? That is mainly why I want to make the record.

    Second, by original Image, this means that when I understand? As in, it'll be usable and such.

    Thirdly, the bottom of AlienRespawn for factory return reinstal, it is said (as shown in this screenshot http://prntscr.com/432u15): Note: CD, Blue-ray, DL, XL. And all types of rewritable media are not supported.

    Thanks in advance for reading.

    Hello!

    1. Yes, you can use it on a different HARD disk.
    2. Yes, the image of the factory should have the OS, drivers and software pre-installed.
    3. No matter what recordable DVD or Blu - ray works, a regular CD or a DVD - RW will not.

  • I dealt with this problem for months. Even hired a comp tech to fix it and still have the same question. There, nobody helping me?

    I dealt with this problem for months.  Even hired a comp tech to fix it and still have the same question.  I had my computer wiped and windows 7 and 8 then reinstalled by a professional.  This all started when I upgraded form 7 to 8.  After 7 to 8 my computer kept getting this error. . kept crashing.  He was supposed to be fixed and it still does the same thing. I was told then move to 8.1.  I have always the same coming error.  I'm not on computer.  IS THERE ANYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS?  Someone who can explain to me step by step how to fix?  I've tried everything.  Error 0x0000005c [settings 000000000000800 0x000000000000000B x 0 0 x 0000000000000000 0 x 0000000000000000]

    Hello

    The upgrade to 8.1 was perhaps not the best thing to do...

    A lot of people are having problems with it also.

    If it is a desktop computer, have you checked the wall outlet and the plug on the back of the computer?

    Your point about starting the tone certainly as a power or a hard disk problem...

    The problem with you mouse pointer could be related to a feature called quick start...

    Your other problem also, perhaps... Try to turn it off and see if it helps...

    This feature works only when you make a STOP and then start.

    It is not perform a RESTART.

    Turn on or off...

    Go to the control panel... Power options, and then select choose the power what buttons on the left.

    Then select change settings that are currently unavailable near the top center of the screen...

    Lower on the window, uncheck the quick start.

  • Plan to change VMWare ESXi, but have a few questions

    Use VMWare server, but I'm cosnsidering passage to VMWare ESXi. I have a few simple newbie questions and apologize in advance if they are stupid. I tried myself, but have no spare hardware to do and I would like to clarify this before buying a new compatible server ESXi.

    1. read the communities that I discovered that ESXi does not support the USB storage device. It takes in charge USB devices or it does not support USB? USB ports will work in guest OS?

    2. I also read that it is possible to install and start ESXi on a USB? How is this possible if the USB storage devices are not supported? OK, the BIOS is set to boot from the flash drive, ESXi loads with a RAMDISK, but then does not recognize the device it was loading during the boot process?

    3 is supported media such as sound, 3D graphics cards?

    4 serial ports taken care of?

    5. does a GUI in which it is possible to connect, view and switch guest OS bewtween locally, corner the ESXi server machine, as in VMware server on Linux (with Fire Fox for GUI), or it does not have a GUI at all and is possible to connect to if you use another computer or a terminal to access of the guest OS on ethernet?

    6. I also read that esata disks work properly either, but techincally they SATA drives that are connected outside the chassis, and ESXi notice perhaps, that they aren't on the inside. All devices support SATA, hot by desing so how do drive hard hot and hot-switching connection work in ESXi?

    Thank you.

    1 ESXi does not support the device of USB storage for local data warehouses.  I don't remember the extent to which the guest OSes on ESXi.  I read that USB is only supported network based USB hubs.

    2. you can install ESXi on a USB key and start it.  It does not appear as a store of data however.

    3. I don't see the option for the installation of sound cards and I do not know the support of 3D video cards.

    4. Yes, the serial ports are supported.

    5. do you are unable to view the comments from the host OS console.  If you need to do this you player, Workstation or Server.

    6 ESXi does not support SATA in local storage.  It is possible however to use SATA RAID cards that emulate SCSI (Adaptec 210 X for example).

    ESXi is essentially ESX without the full service console.  Both share the same features and functionality as eachother.  ESXi is smaller, hardened operating system that is not running under Red Hat.

    > 1) I lost the restore windows vista disc so I put t know where I put it... So can I get a new one?
    You can buy the ASP or from this site:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    (> 2) my laptop charger was broken AGAIN (so I wonder if Toshiba still have my guarantee service of Toshiba so I don't have to worry if my sister asked them)
    You can get the new adapter of the ASP in your country. If the warranty is valid then you will get it for free. If the guarantee is not valid, then you will have to pay for this part

    (> 3) I wonder what is Toshiba tempro since I n t update any version of Toshiba s
    Toshiba Tempro or Tempo (she even) is a new tool that sends a notification if a new driver update is available on the page of Toshiba Europe. To be honest I put don't need to tool, and I don t my system update if it is not necessary to s!

    (> 4) I have a camera which is build-in, however, I try to understand the difficulty, but I put t know what is the name of the Web site that is the camera...
    The internal webcam is designed by Chicony but the necessary software and the driver can be downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page.
