How do I create a ThinApp Repo? I get error message:Failed to access the network path

Good morning all,

I am trying to add a ThinApp repository in view administrator.
It is strange, if i add the share path of the main share folder, it accepts it.
But, if I try to add one of the folders inside the share folder, i get the error message: "Failed to access the network path."
How to I resolve this?
The main share folder has several folders in it, each one for it's own purpose.
In that main share folder I have a folder called "VMwareRelated", then inside that folder I have the folder called "ThinAppRepo".
For example, I enter: \\nameofServer\mainsharefoldername     : that is accepted
But if I enter:     I enter: \\nameofServer\mainsharefoldername\VMwareRelated\ThinAppRepo     : that is not accepted

I made sure the permission on that folder :     "ThinAppRepo"     has full permissions for everyone,my view users, my domain admin, system
But still it does not accept it.
I am leaving on vacation on Sunday and I need this to be working to I can add my thinapps so I can use it while on vacation if i need them.
I do not want to carry my laptop(it's a monster), I rather carry my ipad or surface.

My repo, I am trying to add it to my NAS.
There is a specific share folder for users to have access to with it's own volume.
That is the one that gets accepted when I try to add the repo, but when I try to use one of the folders in it, i get that error message.

Please Help.

I will have to activate again my trial version vmware view and see if i can do as you mentiioned
Send me your email in a private message and I'll see what I can do about that.
My apologies for late response.
Some of what you said helped out but also, I created the thinapps but as it beining managed by vmware manager. That was first problem.
The second problem was the repo share name could not have the full path it had to be the name only.  I had to give it share to "evevryone".
That took care of the problem.
Good to hear.  Let me know if you need assistance with the trial license if that is still an issue.
