webrecorder ie_ondownload

The help file for webrecorder for the function ie_ondownload seems to indicated that this function can be used to disable ie auto download manage. I have tried this entry IE_OnDownload>0,Y:\Mail Items,aa5 and this entry IE_OnDownload>1,Y:\Mail Items,aa5. In both case the ie download manage popup appears (requiring confirmation for the download) and entry for the path above. Has anyone had any experience with this function? Can this function be used to eliminate user inut during ie downloads?

That's the idea.

The following will enable WebRecorder's download manager which does not require any user input. The file will be auto-downloaded to Y:\Mail Items.

IE_OnDownload>1,Y:\Mail Items,aa5

If you would rather have the regular IE experience where you react to a dialog then change the 1 for a zero.

If the former is not working make sure that WebRecorder has been fully installed and that DownloadManager.dll (which is in the WebRecorder program folder) has been registered (regsvr32).

I am having a similar problem. Using the following code:

LibFunc>hIE,OnDownload,r,1,I:\Macros\Docs\DailyFiles

The File Download window still pops up and all processing in the script stops until a button on the window is clicked.

I could not find an entry for DownloadManager.dll in the registry although there is one for another dll by the same name registered to a different program (Netx360). I did find these entries in the regristry

Code: Select all


HKEY_USERS & HKEY_CURRENT_USERS
  HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2388420042-2372311025-3207717258-1127
    Software/ Microsoft/MJTNET/ WebRecorder
            IEAutoDownload        REG_SZ   1
            IEAutoDownloadPath  REG_SZ   I:\Macros\Docs\DailyFiles
            InstallPath                 REG_SZ   C:\Program Files\WebRecorder

So the function seemed to changing the registry values but not automating the download. I assume the dll needs to be registered but I am not sure how to do that.

Some guidance would be very appreciated.
