Well this was a weird one.  After a LOT of hours with a paid support rep
we found this worked for the Windows 95 clients:
1. delete all printers
2. it works
3. reinstall printers
4. it still worked

The printer subsystem which obviously gets a registry call from the
published app must have been creamed.  The only thing I can think of is
my CA virus update, other than that I have no idea.  (and I work for
someone who honestly does not ever ever like me to say that "i have no
idea")

Subject: [THIN] Published app won't execute/help

MF Xpa, a mixed windows 2000 and 2003 farm.  (yes 2003 terminal server)
Here's the problem.  One published app which was running fine that is on
one of my two 2003 servers won't run for some users. 
The apps won't run means:
Nfuse environment:
1. user clicks on apps
2. login script and usrlogon.cmd runs (can see on screen)
3. executable does not run
4. if user (that's me half the time) clicks on full screen in ICA
connection manager I get a full screen but the executable has not run.
(I "think" I get everything else that normally runs for the published app)
5. if i look on my management console:
a. the user does have a connection to the server
b. I can monitor connection settings and the program I WANT is the only
thing not running.

This seems to be on Windows 95 clients only.  I have ripped off and
reinstalled an up to date web client.

I'm stuck, this is at best a "shotgun" upgrade for the affected users.
(to get them at leaST up to Windows 98)
