SpoonReg.exe /Cache move

11 May 2012 - 12:07pm
Anybody get this working or know what it does exactly?

It would make you think it would give you a way to move the cache elsewhere. I've tried to move the cache many ways...

By registering the program as all users to see if the cache would go to a central location for everybody....

SpoonReg.exe /allusers http://streamapps.webserver.net/config/app.xml

That places some of the spoon executable files and I believe the desktop shortcut in a centralized location, but the cache and sandbox both still go to the local user's %localappdata%.

SpoonReg.exe /allusers /cache move http://streamapps.webserver.net/config/app.xml

It accepts the command but nothing about the cache changes. Same with these. Accepted but nothing changes...

SpoonReg.exe /cache move http://streamapps.webserver.net/config/app.xml
SpoonReg.exe http://streamapps.webserver.net/config/app.xml /cache move

Also tried things like this that causes an error because of bad syntax...

SpoonReg.exe /cache=c:\temp\cache\ move http://streamapps.webserver.net/config/app.xml
SpoonReg.exe /cache /move=c:\temp\cache\ http://streamapps.webserver.net/config/app.xml
SpoonReg.exe /cache c:\temp\cache\ http://streamapps.webserver.net/config/app.xml

Also tried those above with these commands at the end and they don't error but I think it just ignores everything after the app path. I also tried leaving the trailing \ off the path.

The major problem I believe is just the lack of documentation on how to manage SpoonReg. Both Novell and docs.spoon.net have very limited information on syntax and no examples.

Anybody have better ideas or a better source of documentation?

Thanks,

Ryan

Enabling the Adobe Reader X plugin from Virtualized Browsers

9 May 2012 - 5:20am
I think I have this one figured out. From virtualized web browsers, I have never been able to use the Adobe Reader X plugin. The Virtual app would start to load any pdf and then crash with a message about a corrupt sandbox (ZAV application sandbox). This would happen if Adobe reader was installed on the machine or virtualized as a shared component. This may be because ARX runs out of its own sandbox. I have now got this working, I will do some testing from some other Browsers.

Application = Virtualized IE8 Configured from a recipe using ZAV 9

Fix = add the following to the "Child Process exception list"
Acropdf.dll; Acroiehelper.dll; Gbdetect.dll; and Pdfshell.dll

Virtual IE8 can now display PDF's using the web plugin. I will test with firefox and report back.

ZAV 9 Jukebox Profiling - Cache/Sandbox Redirect - Speed

2 May 2012 - 2:45pm
It seems like there are features I'd like to see when streaming from a network share that you don't get when streaming from the web server and vice versa. Neither side seems to have all the features.

What I'm wondering is...

1)

Is there any way to specify where to put the Sandbox and Cache when streaming from the web server?

I know you can use SpoonReg.exe to specify these things but I see no mention of using it in conjunction with the web streaming. We wanted to deliver apps via shortcuts to these web apps as such...

SpoonPlay.exe /config=http://appstreaming.myserver.gisd/config/MyApp.xml

Anybody know how to manipulate their default sandbox and cache locations? We have (and will have more) machines with volatile user profiles. So I can't have the sandboxes and cache having to be completely rebuilt every time the user gets on.


2)

Is it possible to profile the separate parts of a jukeboxed app or do you have to build it each time with a different auto start exe and then just collect all the profiles that way? I tried creating a shortcut to call a different part of the ZAV but it ignores the commands in the shortcut when profiling and just launches whatever the auto start exe was. Or is profiling all of them even necessary?

3)

We have tested a ZAV of Photoshop CS5 (only photoshop and not the entire CS5 suite) on the web server. We see several issues...

1. It actually takes longer than a normal ZAV to launch. We thought one of the main benefits to using streaming was faster start time. We aren't seeing it. It isn't network speed because the buffering and prefetch fly by but the launch time takes forever. Around 1.5-2 minutes. Even after the sandbox has been built and the cache seems to be fully built.

2. When you close the program SpoonPlay.exe continues to run in the background for what seems like 5-10 minutes. It seems to use anywhere from 0-25% of the CPU and the memory usage fluctuates up to around 250mb. During this time you can't launch the program again. What is taking so long for that SpoonPlay.exe to close? We can't expect users to have to wait 5-10 minutes if they decide to close the program and then reopen it.

Anyway I realize we may be missing something so I was hoping somebody had an idea.


Thanks,

Ryan

ZAV 9 Streaming and Jukebox

1 May 2012 - 7:13pm
It looks like in ZAV 9 you can utilize jukebox for streaming if you are configuring it on the web server. However, is there anyway to use jukebox when streaming straight from network shares? I find it odd that they would give you the ability to stream straight from a share, yet not allow you a way to use jukebox with it.

I'm not finding anything about it in the documentation.

Anybody have a clue?

Thanks,

Ryan
