The new release of ThinApp (4.0.3) which follows the 4.0.2 release of March 2009 is now ready. It’s a maintenance release and there is no requirement to upgrade existing deployed ThinApp applications but it is recommended to use the version 4.0.3 to package new applications.

Among the many improvements in the release there were specific issues addressed with the following applications:

Telecordia

Arthemis

Smartplant License Manager

Microsoft Office Groove

Windows Live Messenger

AutoCAD 2000

eVIT by LUURENS

The release resolves the following issues:

 

COM object creation fails between primary desktop and non-interactive virtual services that affect the Windows Installer service.

The tlink.exe build utility of ThinApp crashes when multiple language icons exist in an executable file.

The %SYSTEMSYTEM%\SPOOL folder causes the capture of printer spool files.
This might cause printing errors in a Microsoft Office package.

Thinapp prevents a captured Lotus Notes package from starting captured Microsoft Office applications to open attachments.

A captured Internet Explorer 7 package cannot detect external Active Directory policies.

Acrobat Reader 9 causes 100 percent utilization.

ThinApp is unable to pass captured batch file shortcut targets that require command-line arguments.

Log Monitor generates errors when a sandbox on the network is locked by another computer.
