MagicAndre1981 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 which apps do not work? Do you have write access to the folder where you run the apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAckEur Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thinapp'ed applications dont work in Windows 7 yet, waiting for new expected release soon. I suspect the applications will have to be Thinapp'ed again. Vmware works 100% NSIS portables work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajua Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Portable apps that are stored in Program Files (I have made some installers for them) or in other protected storage locations are getting troubles, not all of them, though. This is if you have UAC turn on (I always turn it off in Vista and Seven, but I'm making test for apps I develop). The blame is on the apps themselves.

userid Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I have yet to find a portable app that doesn't work. Sure you are not trying to run a Windows executable on OSX ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Xinok Subscriber² Posted July 20, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thinapp programs do not work on Windows 7! If a little popup is displayed in the bottom right corner of your screen everytime you launch the portable program, that is a Thinapp portable. Those do not work on Windows 7 yet. If you still want to run them, you can try Windows XP Mode. http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details...;displaylang=en First, VMWare has to update Thinapp to support Windows 7 (expected by the end of the year). Then all these programs will have to be re-compiled for Windows 7. You'll just have to wait until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 this is not the case with this another piece of **** from MS Yes, it's Microsoft's fault that your hacked apps don't work. Well done, have a cookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byuv Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yes, it's Microsoft's fault that your hacked apps don't work. Well done, have a cookie. If it works on XP it should work on se7en as well. :) Apart from this there are a whole lot of softwares & games that have compatibility issues with se7en. almost every application launched before XP works on it, can we claim the same for se7en ?

Septimus Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thinned apps have different installs in XP and 7, so no, it shouldn't work. You need to redo them. All PortableApps work fine, thinned ones are OS dependent for the most part. This is not the OS's fault. As stated before, wait for an update.

Dick Montage Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 You really don't understand a bit about what a thinned app is do you? They make use of the OS's native paths to understand how and where to emulate the "normal" install. Vista changed that from XP, Seven changed it slightly from Vista. A well written install would be aware of this, as it is interracting with the OS. The whole point of a slimmed install is to NOT interract with the OS, but rather emulate paths and the registry. But what it is attempting to emulate has changed. Would you expect them to work on OSX? No? Then why a whole new OS for a PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byuv Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I was told se7en is being developed to resolve all the compatibility issues of Vista, but it seems they've just repacked the old junk in new box ...haha :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Don't talk like a dick. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about, and badmouthing Seven in such an uninformed way makes you look retarded. It's not 7 that's incompatible but rather your unauthorised, hacked apps.

MagicAndre1981 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 @Byuv I've already asked you the magically question. Do you have write access to the folder where you start your portable apps? Portable means, the apps store their configuration and user settings into configuration file (ini or xml) inside the program folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blame is on the apps themselves. i always have UAC on, anyways vmware has to add support for windows 7 but if these portable apps work without recompiling them then thats good but chances are they will need to be redone which is fine by me(might be a pain to redo but sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleSpellbinder Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Running Win 7 RC, Build 7100 (64-Bit). I have portable MPC-Home Cinema, Pocket DivX Encoder and HJ Split.

cmiuc Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 From VM ThinApp forum... I'd be surprised if someone was able to come up with a work-around. Microsoft moved the implementation of a lot of APIs to different DLLs, e.g. CreateFileW is now (mostly) implemented in kernelbase.dll while in previous Windows versions it was implemented in kernel32.dll. ThinApp doesn't know about kernelbase.dll and therefore a lot of API calls are not getting hooked properly. You can't just move all the hooks from kernel32.dll to kernelbase.dll because some APIs are still implemented in kernel32.dll.This is not a fundamental problem with the way ThinApp works, we're working on it. Those of you who have been to BriForum might have seen the demo of ThinApped Office 2010 running on Windows 7. So ThinApps won't run per the info...
