Hi All,
I think I'm starting to get the hang of thinapp. I have a few questions
1) I have a VM, with thinapp installed on it, and took a snapshot and named "clean os". What I'd like to do is store the captures on a network share, and that seems to work, except it fails when I try to build the package. If I drag snapshot.exe over the build.bat on the network share, it will then build the package. I'm fine doing it this way, but not sure why I can't just run build.bat on its own.
2) How do you upgrade applications to new versions without the user losing their data? I'm using the built-in Thinapp repository in VMWare View to deploy MSI files. I'll give an example to help clarify my question. I'll use Firefox in my example, even though I am not trying to thinapp firefox.
If I was to thinapp firefox version 8 (Inventory name of Firefox 8) and set it to write copy, so that any internet favorites the user saves, get saved to the sandbox....okay, now Firefox 9 comes out and I want my users to use Firefox 9...what's the best way to upgrade?? I know I can just create a firefox 9 thinapp and add it to my repository, but how do I upgrade it properly, so the users don't lose their Favorites that are saved in the Firefox 8 sandbox?
Again, in real world, I wouldnt send favorites to a sandbox, but I'm just using this as an example....My question relates to any application
Thanks,
Mike
