5.1

ThinApp sets an initial value for the VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM parameter to run external out-of-
process COM objects in the virtual environment, to ensure that COM objects cannot modify the host
computer.
If a compatibility problem exists with an external COM object running in the virtual environment, you can
create and run COM objects on the host system.
To run only specific COM objects outside of the virtual environment, you can use the ExternalCOMObjects
parameter to list the CLSID of each COM object. See “ExternalCOMObjects Parameter,” on page 33.
Example: Running Out-of-process COM Objects in the Physical Environment
You can modify the VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM parameter to run all external out-of-process COM
objects in the physical environment rather than the virtual environment. For example, you might use virtual
Microsoft Access 2003 to send email through a native IBM Lotus Notes session.
