    @johnmcloud, First of all Office was activated before packaged and now ask for activation again. When launch on the VM it was built on everything is fine except activation. When copied it to my W7x64 the largest .exe which I point it to launch Word gave me an error "The setup controller has encountered a problem during install. Please review the log files for further information on the error". When I clicked OK on that it gave me another error :An error occurred and this feature is no longer function properly. Please run setup and select repair..." to restore this application". and when I clicked OK on that Word will launch just fine. I tested a few things and seemed fine.

    For Winzip can you please try file association and publish it to Start Menu and run it from there. See if you have .dll error now.

    How does one build application, so this error is not present?

    If you're using ExeBuilder and one of the exes is showing this error then could you please give me more details about the application..? Or, better, you could compress the xappl file, upload it somewhere and post the link here...

    Well, I never used ZAV to virtualize applications.
    It says that "ZAV Studio is based on the Spoon core product with enhancements made for enterprise customers" but I'm not sure that what I wrote in that tutorial works for ZAV too.
    I will test it.
    To save time, could you please show me a download link for ZAV..?

    Thank you.
    The first problem that I see is that, even if it's using the same xappl format, the project file shows the "8.0.4021" version. ExeBuilder is made for Spoon Studio version not ZAV version.
    So, to generate good exe, in ExeBuilder's interface, choose Spoon Studio version as "9.4 or newer".
    If this doesn't solve your problem (that error message) please give me more details about how to reproduce it.

    Tomorrow I will modify ExeBuilder to also detect the version of xappl files generated by ZAV.

    I am not using ExeBuilder (for this conversion) yet
    I simply Build an exe with ZAV Build command (using the 2007 instructions), but can not run it due to an error

    Ok.
    Go to the top of Zav's interface where you see "Startup file:". Click on "Multiple" button. Do you have at least one line added to that list...? If yes, is it one of them checked?
    Check the one you want to start (for example Winword), click on OK button, save the project and rebuild.
    If this doesn't solve the problem please send me the xappl file and try to use "makedir.bat" to make a list of the files/folders from the project:
    Open notepad, past this:
    Code:
    @Echo off 
    If not exist %1nul then goto NoDir
    Dir %1 /oe /s > c:\windows\temp\List.txt
    Start c:\windows\temp\List.txt
    Goto End 
    
    :NoDir 
    Echo. 
    Echo The %1 folder doesn't exist.
    
    :End
    Save this file like "MakeDir.bat". Copy this file in SendTo folder. Now right-click on the folder where the xappl file and the "Files" folder is, click on Send To --> MakeDir.
    Get "c:\windows\temp\List.txt" file, compress it with the xappl file in a single file, upload it somewhere and post the link.
    Thank you.

    That .bat reminds me of something...:p
    What do you thing about ZAV? Is better/worse software in comparison of Spoon Studio?

    Curious, this type of error I got from Office 2007 virtualized in an old version of Spoon Studio in Windows Vista/7. They fixed it in 9.5.
    Which OS('s) have you used to virtualize your Office 2007?

    Win7 x86, maybe ZAV is using an old code of SS (would not be surprised)

    OK. Do you know, approximately, when the current version of ZAV was released..?

    I thought that you can't start Word no matter what you try but in that topic it's an error when you try to load documents with double click from outside Word (but you can start Word)...

    OK, so not exactly the same, in my case it just does not start at all
