Capture Other Browsers

You can virtualize various browsers including Mozilla Firefox and different versions of Internet Explorer using the ThinApp Setup Capture wizard.

You can capture the following browsers on specific versions of Windows:

• Internet Explorer 7 - Windows XP (Only with ThinApp 5.2.3 or earlier)
• Internet Explorer 8- Windows XP (Only with ThinApp 5.2.3 or earlier)
• Internet Explorer 9 - Windows 7
• Internet Explorer 10 - Windows 7
• Internet Explorer 11 - Windows 7
• Mozilla Firefox - Windows 7

If you have captured Internet Explorer 8 or later using versions earlier than ThinApp 5.2.2, to access the web pages on Windows 10, use the workaround as mentioned in this knowledge base article. This article contains information about how to open web pages from ThinApped Internet explorer on Windows 10 machines. Alternately, you can recapture the desired version of Internet Explorer using ThinApp 5.2.2 or later.

4. Rescan the system using the Postscan process of the Setup Capture wizard.
5. When capturing Internet Explorer, in the Native Browser Redirection window, enter the URLs required for redirection.
