[THIN] Re: xenapp 4.5 and remote apps

Here’s a shot in the dark from an old UNIX hack.

 

Try doubling the \ characters like this…\\\\servername\\sharename\\appname.exe.

 

Some parsers use the \ as a “literal” character to override special characters. So \\ is interpreted as “literally use \” and the first one disappears.

Subject: [THIN] xenapp 4.5 and remote apps

 

we publish some apps that are just a redirect to another location - i.e. \\servername\sharename\appname.exe which worked beautifully in XA4.0 - in XA4.5 it won't take the working directory of \\servername\sharename - well, actually it takes it but it removes the leading backslashes, leaving \servername\sharename which doesn't work of course, and this app doesn't work without the working directory being specified. Ideas on how to stop XA from removing the leading \ ?
