Workspace Error when Configuring ThinApp

[rmfitzhugh]

I'm getting an error when configuring the network share for ThinApp for Horizon Workspace (2.0). The error is: "Error configuring packaged applications:RepoUpdateRegistry() failed with error: ERROR_GEN_FAILURE"

I have removed the connector from the domain and re-added it and I have verified that there is full access to all users on that share. I've added it to Horizon View with no issues.

Also, something odd is that if I select "Save" again after receiving this error, it says that the save was successful but will not sync any of the application packages.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

What kind of a share is this? Based on the screenshot it appears to be a windows share, is that right? Can you reproduce the error again and please send me the /var/log/messages file from your connector-va. You can send me the file via PM or I can share my email address with you.

Yes, it is a Windows share. Sent you a PM.

Thanks!

Ravi pointed me to VMware KB: Enabling for Horizon a previously packaged VMware ThinApp virtual application, without re..., in which I went ahead and re-created the ThinApp packages making sure to select the "Manage with Horizon" option. And BINGO, it worked.

The log entries that led Ravi to that KB were:
