Chapter 7. Troubleshooting

Not all applications can be successfully virtualized by just clicking on the next button in Setup Capture. Sometimes you’ll have to troubleshoot an application in order to get it virtualized. In this chapter I’ll cover the basics of troubleshooting ThinApp packages. Unfortunately there is no such thing as a silver bullet when it comes to troubleshooting. There is no single easy fix to all packaging issues. All applications are different so each package must be handled separately. In this chapter, we will look at the following topics:

  • Troubleshooting theory

  • Effective test procedures

  • Common tools used for troubleshooting

  • ThinApp Log Monitor

  • Troubleshooting tips and tricks

  • Your typical every day capturing process
