Using VMware's ThinApp 4.0 AppSync feature with a Microsoft Web Server can require additional configuration to the web server as, by default, IIS 6.0 does not allow access to any file with an unknown extension.
VMware ThinApp 5.0 Release Notes ThinApp 5.0 31 October 2013 Build 1391583 Last Document Update: 31 October 2013 These release notes cover the following topics:. What's New SDK The ThinApp 5.0 introduces support for 64-bit SDK. ThinApp now provides a 64-bit SDK, ThinAppSDK64.dll for 64-bit in process COM, this eliminates the need for ThinAppSDKSrvr.exe on 64 bit Operating System. On 64 bit Operating System the user can register 64 bit SDK dll (regsvr32 ThinAppSDK64.dll) and use their scripts or applications to access ThinApp packaged data. Registry key path change - If you use registry APIs from ThinApp SDK. For the old package the users need not change anything.
However, for packages built with the ThinApp 5.0 tools, the user needs to pay attention for these registry paths. Users can query the registry key that is captured for 64-bit application as usual. Native - HKLM Software 7-Zip ThinApp - HKLM Software 7-Zip Native - HKCR CLSID 23170F69-40C1-278A-1020000 ThinApp - HKCR CLSID 23170F69-40C1-278A-1020000 However, for the registry key captured for 32-bit application, the changes are explained in following examples. The top line is the native 32-bit key path and the bottom line is the path that is passed to the SDK as argument. Redirected keys - (32-bit registry keys are redirected) Native - HKLM Software 7-Zip ThinApp - HKLM Software Wow6432Node 7-Zip 32-bit keys are redirected to Software Wow6432Node Shared keys - (Shared by both 32-bit and 64-bit view) Native - HKLM SOFTWARE Clients ThinApp - HKLM SOFTWARE Clients Inclusion of.alt file in Bin folder The ThinApp 5.0 release adds support for an alternate architecture PDC with.alt extension. If the ThinApp capture feature contains both 32 bit and 64 bit executable, then a file with an extension.alt. would be generated in the bin directory after build process.
The pdc would generally be x86 and not suitable to launch a 64 bit process. The.alt files provide an alternate architecture PDC image to use as an entry point. Example Capture a 32-bit version of Office 2010 on a 64-bit version of Windows, it will install 32-bit components (winword.exe, excel.exe and so on), but it will also install a 64-bit version of the Office License Protection service (OSPPSVC.exe). Now, if you execute an Office 2010 shortcut executable (word.exe), ThinApp must also start the OSPPSVC service. With ThinApp 473 there was no shortcut executable for osppsvc.exe, ThinApp would use the PDC file as the entrypoint, as ThinApp 4.7.3 did not support 64-bit executables this was not a problem. However, in ThinApp 5.0, the PDC will be x86 and this not suitable for launching the x64 OSPPSVC.exe process, this is where.alt PDC is very useful.
New Package.ini parameters A new package.ini option MSIIs64Bit is added to the MSI-related options. Snapshot.exe sets this option if the first app executable is 64-bit, and if MSI is enabled, tlink generates a 64-bit MSI package. This change builds a 64-bit MSI package if the captured application is 64-bit. Another new parameter LargeAddressAware is included in ThinApp 5.0, this option is used to capture applications which install on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Set LargeAddressAware =1 to allow 32-bit applications to launch 64-bit application without any error. Virtual CMD By Default the ThinApp Setup capture feature captures a 32-bit virtual command prompt.
However, to launch the x64 Virtual command prompt perform the following changes to the settings: cmd.exe Source=%SystemSystem% cmd.exe To cmd.exe Source=%SystemSystem(x64)% cmd.exe Application Synchronization The following changes have been made to the ThinApp AppSync process:. The.alt file is required for Application Synchronization of ThinApp 5.0 packages. In case of forced AppSync, if the.alt file is missing, the user will receive a message box and the downloaded file will be named as.1 update. If the Appsync feature uses IIS server the user needs to add.alt file to the mime types. All the shortcuts, entry points and PDC's of both (old and new) applications should have the same name for a successful AppSync. Example Microsoft office word 2003.exe and Microsoft office word 2007.exe should be named as Microsoft office word.exe.
Other Enhancements in ThinApp 5.0 The following enhancements have been made in ThinApp 5.0:. Conditional support for virtualizing App Sense.
Existing version of Horizon will work with ThinApp 5.0, 32 bit applications, but support for 64 bit applications might be available in future releases. Conditional support for virtualizing 64 bit applications.

Hey, This is a DAT Tool, a small program that can be used to create.DAT files (databases the game uses for modules and for data), as well as extract them. This program uses the original game I/O library - tio.dll, so you'll need to copy the appropriate files from your ToEE installation into the folder where you will deploy the DAT Tool. Since it uses the original game library, the files are created and extracted exactly as they were supposed to be! The utility comes with a manual, which is simple but which is a must read before you start working with the program, installing it, or trying to create/extract anything. Download here: To everyone who is wondering: yeah, I finally got the permission from everyone I wanted to in order to release the thing! Well, depends what he is trying to open.
Zane's may have become corrupted. Ramiel, sorry to be a hard-ass but I will just say what everyone else who is not responding is thinking - we don't post the original files of the game. If you own the game, you own the files:shrug: If not, we can't help you. I know you're not trying to amass a pirate version one file at a time, but the.exe and.dlls are the files that contain the source code and are the most aggressively-protected elements of any game, so we don't propogate them here unless they've been modded.
