I am trying to create a thinapp package for a legacy Windows XP application to run on Windows 7 in a test environment. &nbsp;The app, Microsoft Dynamics SL 6.5, is package-ready and the package itself created with no problem. &nbsp;When I moved the file collection to a flash drive and tried to load it on the Win 7 machine, thin app started and it fired an error that an OCX file could not be registered.<br />
<br />
the base machine used to create the package is a Win XP SP3 VM running in Fusion 3 with no other apps installed.<br />
<br />
Not sure how to get around this issue or if I missed something. <br />
<br />
Might anyone here have any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for the assistance

ThinApp and DLL/OCX registrations

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
