SandboxCOMObjects Parameter

The SandboxCOMObjects parameter indicates whether applications in the physical environment can access COM objects that the virtual application registers at runtime.

Omnissa ThinApp sets an initial value that prevents native applications in the physical environment from accessing COM objects that the virtual application registers. ThinApp places COM objects that the virtual application registers in the sandbox.

Making COM Objects Registered Outside the Sandbox Visible

You can modify the SandboxCOMObjects parameter to make visible the COM objects that the virtual application registers outside the sandbox.

For example, if you install native Microsoft Office 2003 and virtual Microsoft Office 2007, and you run a custom mail merge program in the native environment that starts Microsoft Word and instructs it to open, change, and save a document, you can generate Microsoft Word 2007 documents when virtual Microsoft Word is running. The native application can access COM objects from the virtual application.
