The ForcedVirtualLoadPaths parameter instructs ThinApp to load DLL files as virtual DLL files even if the files reside outside the package. This parameter is useful when an application must load external system DLL files that depend on DLL files located in the package.

The DLL paths can contain macros. Use semicolons to separate multiple paths.

This parameter achieves the same result as the AddForcedVirtualLoadPath API function. See

Forcing ThinApp to Load DLLs in the Virtual Environment

You can modify the ForcedVirtualLoadPaths parameter when you have an application that depends on external DLL files.

When you capture Microsoft Office without Microsoft Outlook and a native version of Microsoft Outlook exists on the local system, you cannot send email from the virtual version of Microsoft Excel because the native envelope.dll file that is installed with Microsoft Outlook depends on the mso.dll file that ThinApp loads in the virtual environment. You can force ThinApp to load the envelope.dll file in the virtual environment instead of in the native environment.
