A ThinApp throws an "Exception Error". What can I do to fix it?

If you encounter the following error (or something like it) when launching a ThinApp packaged application, there is a workaround.

You can fully isolate PolicyPak from trying to manage a specific ThinApp application, thus working around the exception error.

To do this, you'll need to re-package your application. However, before you click to make it a package, first create a folder in the Thin App Package to the location of where the CSE exists.

So %ProgramFilesDir%PolicyPakApplication ManagerClient then add a new file named ATTRIBUTES.INI and set the file to:

[Isolation]
DirectoryIsolationMode=FULL

What this does is exclude the PolicyPak CSE files from interacting with the ThinApp application EXE.

Remember, This prevents PolicyPak from managing that application, but, works around any Exception Errors on launch.
