Running a managed application on MAC
Hi All,
I'm having a stange problem that perhaps someone else has encountered and has a resolution too. The senario is as follows:-
I have published an application executable using the "program" application type, this application functions without issue on windows operating systems however on a MAC the application launches OK and then fails with a message which would indicate there is no working directory for the application.
If I change the published application from program to desktop then the application functions OK on the MAC
Am i missing something here?
MAC Snow Leopord is used with vWorkspaceConnectorforMacOSX_70 client
Thanks
Nathan

Hi David,
I can confirm that Notepad.exe functions OK, the error returned after logon to the application i'm publishing is "URL not specified"
This application error indicates that the configuration file (found in the same directory as the executable) is not being read, I have confirmed that the configuration file is ignored by changing the login behavior type to integrated logon which would bypass the username and password screen, it's not bypassed and the username and password screen is still displayed.
Thanks

Hello Nathan,
Have you tried the same setup with another published application executable, such as notepad.exe?
Can you try this and let me know if it is just your first application that shows the error or all applications published in this way?
Can you also post a screenshot or the text of the error message you see.
Thanks
David

Hi David,
Yes thats correct the windows client reads the configuration file, MAC client does not.
I am using the working directory option as without this it does not work on the windows client either. Do you have any examples of how I could use the argument to load the supporting files required for operation or is that application specific?
Thanks

Hi Nathan,
So you are saying that a Windows client is able to launch and see the config file but the Mac Client disregards it?
Is it possible to specify the configuration file either as an application argument or by using the working directory option.
Have you already tried this?
Regards
David

Nathan,
There is a further configuration option that we could try, however it invovles a registry modification so I would prefer to make this change over a webex or telephone call. Is it possble you could open a support case, then I can make contact with you to look at this further.
Kind Regards
David
