I created a Cameyo App containing MS Access 2003. I have a startup selection which provides the ability to start the access database (with some command line switches) and to start a normal Access 2003.
Out cameyo app runs perfectly on Windows7, but on Windows 8.1 only the custom events run and after that nothing more happens.
When creating the troubleshooting logfile nothing pops to the eye that points to a possible source of the problem.
Any other tipps on how to debug this problem? Is there a recent beta for Windows 8.1?
Will your package launch Access on Win8.1 if you have no Custom events? To test this, you can either edit your package and delete the Custom events, or--to test in a single session--you can run appname.cameyo.exe "-Properties:OnStartVirtualized=" if your Custom events are for On app start (virtualized), otherwise change appropriately, e.g. ... "-Properties:OnStartUnvirtualized=" or "-Properties:OnProcessStartVirtualized=" etc.
I virtualized MS Access 2003 and it to launched on a clean Win8.1 x64 VM. Is yours a clean testing environment, or is it a production environment that has other programs installed?
Is your Windows 8.1 clean, or are there other programs installed?
Thank you for pointing out Foobar2000 and InfraRecorder. Neither of these launch for me in RAM mode; however, they both run on my Win8.1 VM in Disk mode. Does Disk mode work for you on your Win8.1?
My Windows 8.1 is a fresh install with some regular programs installed (Firefox, Thunderbird, Flash, Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Office 2013, so nothing special).
We now tested foobar2000 and it starts, when in disk mode (is there a command line switch for this?).
Our app still does not work.
1. No security software? 2. Is this the same system on which some packages work, like Foobar2000 in Disk mode? 3. Command appname.cameyo.exe "-Properties:VirtMode=Disk" until -Remove* 4. Command Cameyo.exe "-SetProperties:VirtMode=Disk" appname.cameyo.exe for persistence
*Subsequent launches of package without command line will run in RAM mode but will act to some degree like Disk mode because files have been extracted to the sandbox and these files will be read. Once -Remove is used, the sandbox is deleted, so the package won't have those files to read; thus, it will no longer act like Disk mode.
SafeMode does not work either.
Sadly I cannot provide the app. As a consquence we will not migrate to Windows 8.1, but to Windows 7. Perhaps the app works in some time in Windows 8.1. :)
