How to isolate old Java version and IE settings?

Question

Windows

Colleagues!
Need advice on this matter. Our company is moving from Win7 to Win10. On Win7, portble applications built using VMWare Thinapp 5.2.2 were actively used. Applications were needed to run Oracle ERP Java Forms. The application contained inside IE8+ its settings, Java6 and a number of files.
When switching to Win10, it turned out that thinapps do not work on Win10. The situation was temporarily saved by the release of VMWare Thinapp 5.2.3. However, it turned out that the maximum supported version is Win10, build 1703. We are using build 1709, on which applications still work. On build 1803, the update for which is just around the corner, the applications again do not work.
Accordingly, there was a typical task "to make everything work". I tried MS AppV to build applications, but I ran into a problem. I build the application, install the old Java, add shortcuts, make IE settings. I'm running it on a test machine. It runs, java forms too, however, the IE settings from the package do not override the IE running on the machine. Step two. I put Java 8 on the same machine to run other applications. I make settings, put files exception.sites, trusted.cacerts, trusted.certs. If the machine does not have an application with Java 6 inside, then everything works, if it does, then Java 8 does not see the attached files and the new application does not start.
For assembly, I tried to use the recipe described here.
If someone faced similar tasks, please tell me:
1) How can I isolate the old Java and IE settings in MS AppV so that they are applied to local IE at startup?
2) Are there any good equivalents for VMWare Thinapp and MS AppV?

You are doing something wrong. The container is used for this, so that nothing gets into the system, and the system itself does not affect the container in any way.
If you need an old JRE version, you can simply unpack the installer to the desired directory and run javaw.exe with parameters from it.
