Hi,
We're in the middle of packaging Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 with thinapp so one of our business lines can use it under Windows 7. The reason we're using reader 5.0 is that the business line is relying heavily on Acrobat indexes and 5.0 is the last version to support it. To access the index list, the app is relying on registry values in the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\5.0\Search\cIndexes\cIndex" key. We have about 50 users using it, and none of them uses the same index list. Since the list tops at 256 indexes, we cannot put all indexes in the same bubble.
So far, it will only fetch them if we put the information inside the thinapp registry.
Since we wanted to avoid making 50 bubbles, we're trying to have the bubble open the host registry to fetch this information. What we first tried was to change the concerned keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER.txt file from "isolation_writecopy" to "isolation_merged", but it didn't work. We then tried to remove the file, thus letting the application access the registry in writecopy mode, but that didn't work either. We thought it might be because the keys are not in the Wow6432 node, but we have the same problem with the Thinapp running inside of Windows XP.
Is there something we're missing?
To help you help us, I provided the HKEY_CURRENT_USER.txt made by default by thinapp, and a .reg file containing an example of the registries specific to one of our 50 users.
Thank you in advance.
