One other solution may be to install the app to the users personal drive
if you map one. For instance if you map I: to \\server\user$ than
install the application I:\
This means copying the appropriate files to that drive for each user and
eating up lots of drive space, but you can do this in the login script
for each user as they login. =20
We do this for several older database apps. It takes 50megs of drive
space per user but it solves the problem... =20

Out of curiosity, just how expensive is Softricity?

If it is a local file and you Can't move it to their home directory, AND
this APP JUST HAS TO RUN!!!!, you might look at Softricity. Its not
cheap but I have had a few apps like this that wouldn't run in a
terminal server environment and this software got it to run.

Subject: [THIN] Program not running more than once due to a lock file
Hi,
We have purchased a 2 server XP farm for running a newscast client, and
our remote trucks connect to it via wireless Sprint cards and NFuse
classic. Prior to purchasing this system, we tested it extensively under
Terminal Services, after the software company told us it would run under
WTS. We would receive a message about a log file not being created when
running more than one instance, but otherwise it worked great, as did
the Citrix implementation.
The vendor just released a mandatory update, which suddenly "fixed" the
problem: now when a user gets the cannot create log file message, the
program quits. The first instance of the application locks a text file,
and other instances cannot open it, so the program quits. This is so
that a workstation user cannot run more than one copy.
I've had a similar problem in the past with another old app, but it was
solved by a service resetting a registry key avery 10 seconds or so. I
can't think of how to get around this though. Has anyone had a problem
like this before?
