Application Virtualization Forum

Hi There,

I am testing ZENworks Application Virtualization Server V10 to see what it can do for us. However I can't get 1 thing to work. I have defined a LDAP connection to our AD.
After syncronisation all users are visible, so that seems to work. However when I log on to the server as user (that I have enabled) I get a error that an internal error has occured. When loggin in the admin interface I get a error "Oops - we had a problem handling your request" when I want to verify the LDAP setting.
When looking in the event log on the server there is a "Event code: 3005" on ASP.NET.

I have updated the server, Windows 2008 server, to the latest version.


What to do?

I created an Office 2010 Professional Plus virtual app using the Office 2010 Template from ZAV 10.

It works fine when I launch Office from the executable.

However, when I launch it indirectly by double-clicking a .docx or .xlsx file, this message appears: "The applicate has encountered an error. This action is only valid for the products that are currently installed. (0x80070645)"

I am using Spoonreg.exe to register the virtual app.

I get the above error on both XP and Windows 7.

There was a forum thread a few years ago about fixing this issue for Office 2003 and Office 2007. I wonder if anybody knows how to fix it for Office 2010?

Thank you.

Hi I'm a little confused about how to customize my ZAV apps. I need to run a script to update a registry inside the ZAV app sandbox, and then run the actual executable, can someone point me as to how to do this?

I put a cmd file in with the installation before I compared the snapshot it, but the commands actually interacted with the physical host and not within the sandbox like I was hoping.

thanks

Wil

If you ever need to open an SR for an issue with a snapshotted application, or simply want to do some basic testing prior to building a virtual application that requires snapshotting, a virtual command line console is an excellent tool:

1. Open ZAV studio
2. Start a new project
3. Point the startup file to C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
4. Point the output file to any location you wish
5. Build

To test:

1. Run the virtual CMD.exe
2. Navigate to the location of the installed exe you want to virtualize and run it

The purpose of this test is simple: as we have not modified the configuration at all and have included no virtual file system or registry, this virtual CMD is running inside the xVM and using the file system/registry of the OS. This strips away all of the packaging elements that go into the snapshot process, allowing the cleanest possible test.

If the installed application runs under these conditions, but fails to operate correctly when built into a virtual application, there is something going wrong in the packaging process. This could be a file being left out of the virtual file system, or a setting that needs to be in place, etc. If the installed application fails to operate correctly using the virtual CMD, however, there is a more serious issue; an SR should absolutely be opened if possible, so the support team can assist.

Hi,

Anyone else having trouble with LDAP SSL connection, or Secure ?

Anonymous and Simple goes well, but SSL or secure fail with message "Failed: The server is not operational." Might be ldap-server certificate, but where do I put it ?

Hi All,

hoping someone can shed some light as to why this little database app doesn't want to ZAV.

Download Digger Update Direct link http://www.macbeth.com.au/digger/download/digger414.exe

this is digger which is a database engine, it's small and with out the CDROMS; no use to anyone here.

but if I try and ZAV this on a XP SP3 VM, it creates an invalid win32 executable, I believe it's because it's running under the ntvdm.exe process as it's a 16bit app.

I have tested it with thinstall, app-v and works correctly.

I'm using the above program as it's already shared on the internet, we have similar apps of the same vintage that are causing the same issue with ZAV.

Thanks in advance

Michael.

When trying to launch a ZAV 10 app, C-Cure Administration Console, users are getting an error "**Unable to open parameter file cc800cl.pf, errno 2. (1247)". This only appears to be happening on Win7. This did work when first created, but after a few weeks the error has started to pop-up.

Hi, I've been banging my head trying to figure this one out. I am using an older version of ZAV (8.04) which we are in the process of upgrading. Each time I attempt to create a site certificate for creating a streaming app it throws an error "An error occurred while requesting the certificate. Please contact Novell Support". I have attempted this on several different workstations and the IIS server with the same results. And it doesn't help that the documentation does not give any guidance with this. Any thoughts or solutions would be greatly appreciated on my part.

I constantly have an error when trying to use ZAV 10.0 to create apps. It spits out an "The snapshot could not be completed because: Invalid path" error. I have installed ZAV 10 on a few different machines, XP & 7, both sadly with the same error. Does anyone have any ideas what this is or how to fix it?

Thanks!
Garth

Hi,

With ZAV10 you can start application via the Spoon icon in systemtray.
But this is what i have. I can do a login, but it's empty, even when i synchronize the "applications" stay empty. Also a "repair desktop" will do nothing.
What's wrong?

Thanks

Hi all,

I can't attach a file, so if the formatting of this is a little off, my apologies. The following is a setup guide for streaming using Apache on Windows 7, but should be generally applicable to any OS that can run Apache. The portions referencing the Studio need to be done on Windows. This also refers to streaming an SVM file, instead of a model. If you are unfamiliar with modelling, please review the user guide for more information, ask here on the forum, or if needed open an SR for assistance from the support team.

Spoon Standalone Server with Apache
This document outlines how to configure a Spoon Standalone Server with Apache as the webserver.

Step 1: Install and Configure Apache HTTP Server

This can be done on a Windows environment or any supported Operating System for Apache. This example will go through the process for a Windows 7 environment.
After the Apache is installed, verify that Apache is running by going to: http://localhost/

You should see a web page with the words “It works!” If you don’t see this, then Apache may not be running properly.

Note: This assumes Apache is listening on port 80, the default port for HTTP traffic.


Step 2: Install the Standalone Server files

The Standalone Server files are provided a in zip file (Streaming) on the download page.

1. Unzip the Standalone Server filesto a temporary folder on the system.
2. Go to the folder “htdocs” in the folder where Apache was installed.
a. In Windows default install: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
3. Create a folder called streaming.
4. Place all of the files and folders for the Standalone Server into the streaming folder.


Step 3: Configure the Standalone Server

1. Edit the file scripts\zenworks_config.js

// set ZENworks configuration variables
ZENworks_SiteRootUrl = 'http://localhost';
ZENworks_SiteRoot = '/streaming/';
ZENworks_PluginVersion = '3.32.3.28';


Note: The variable ZENworks_SiteRootUrl should have the fully qualified domain name for your server. In this example the test will only occur on the local system, so localhost is being used. If the server is accessed from another system, then the appropriate URL should be used.

2. Edit the file config\xvm.xml

<Configuration>
<Layers>
<Layer entry="True" type="Exe">http://localhost/streaming/layers/xvm/10-1-2269-0__0/xvm.exe</Layer>
</Layers>
<XStream>
<Buffering showUi="False" />
</XStream>
<Platform>
<Supported />
</Platform>
<Hosts />
</Configuration>

Step 4: Build the Application

1. Load the application configuration into ZAV Studio.
2. Select the Project type as Component to build an SVM file.
3. Copy the SVM file to the layers folder under htdocs\streaming

Note: For applications that are using a model (streaming), all of the model files would be copied into this folder instead of the SVM file.


Step 5: Generate a Site Certificate

1. Load the application configuration into ZAV Studio.
2. Click on the “Advanced” tab at the top.
3. Click on “Create Site Certificate”.
4. Enter the details for your site and click Create.
5. Save the certificate.xml file to the streaming folder under htdocs.


Step 6: Generate an App Configuration file

1. After creating the Site Certificate, click on the Create App Configuration button
2. Enter the details for the application.

Note: If the SVM file or XM file is not found at the specified URL an error will be thrown.

3. Click Create and save the XML file to the config folder.


Step 7: Edit the launch.html file

1. Find the launch.html file in the streaming folder
2. Change the HTML code to reference the application configuration.

<a href="#" onclick="OnRunClick('7Zip', false);return false;"><imgsrc="http://forums.novell.com/images/novell.png" border="0"></a>


Step 8: Test the application

Go to: http://localhost/streaming/launch.html

Hi,

I'am testing the new ZAV 10 webserver.
I'ts amazing what you can do with it, very nice product.
My question now: how can i change the first page. Instead of having the Novell Banner, i like to create a company banner.

When i look to the page info i find: http://servername/SkuResources.handl...BannerLogo.png

Where can i find this file to change.

Thanks

Hi,

We are currently evaluating the new ZAV10 Server.
We installed this on a W2008R2 SP1 machine.

This works fine for anonymous or local users but we have not been able to use our edir (Netware) as a user source.

When we fill in the basic ldap information and use the test button then the connection is succeeded.

Can someone point out what, for example, to fill in the Directory Schema
part for the Users & Groups fields?

We have already tried several things but every time when we try the sync button we get the following error:
Not synchronized (Error: The value for the property PageSize cannot be set.)

Any advice or help on this is welcome.

Cheers,

Marc
