IE not starting from Script post Upgrade

Post by bartmanSJ » Fri Aug 06, 2010 6:34 pm

I just upgraded from Macro Scheduler 11.x to 12.0.6

The new version does not open IE successfully

There are no error messages, just no IE to interact with.

Obviously, this disables the use of all my macros.....

It worked fine with version 11 just a few minutes ago......

Hi,

It would help if you could indicate how you are executing IE. What commands are you using? A script snippet would help.

If you are using WebRecorder does v12 have the WR runtimes installed? If using the default imports method v12 would need the WR runtimes installed - so you will need to re-install WebRecorder.

If not, what method are you using to start IE?

I downloaded and installed the current version of Web Recorder at the same time. I recorded the following and it does not start IE or produce any error:

Code: Select all

// Generated by MacroScript WebRecorder 2.3
// Recorded on Friday, August 6, 2010, at 10:47 AM

//Move the mouse cursor out of harm's way to avoid causing mouseover events to interrupt
MouseMove>0,0
Let>delay=1
IE_Create>0,IE[0]

IE_Navigate>%IE[0]%,https://secure.360facility.net/mes/,r
IE_Wait>%IE[0]%,r
Wait>delay

Label>end_script

Does it seem feasible that an uninstall/reinstall might help?

For that script to work you need an Imports folder in your Macro Scheduler 12 program folder which contains IEAuto.DLL and IEAuto.INI. This should be created when you install WebRecorder.

You could copy it over from your Macro Scheduler 11 program folder.
