Web plugin not working in IE7 or IE8

#1 Are you running 64 bit IE? Does it work in IE when launched from the Toolbox with IE set as default browser? Are you trying an included sample binary or a project that you have created?

#2 no I have tried my project and I have tried the default sample FPS project. Neither works. I'm using IE 8 32Bit at this moment. All other browsers work. Just not the crappy MS browsers.

#3 Works under IE7 and IE8 here... you're running Beta 2 right?

#4 yeah

it is not just my system we have tried close a dozen machines now all with IE7 and IE8 and none of them load

#5 Hm... We have no other reports of this, and you have 12 machines that it doesn't work on, so this seems odd... these machines have security settings blocking the plugin from loading? You are trying this specifically from the Toolbox with fresh installs of Beta 2 correct?

#6 I'm having the same problems (and posted my thoughts on an older thread before I saw this one!). I tracked my problem back to a function in sample.html (activexIsInstalled)

#7 Thanks Neil, I'll look into this...

#8 Could you guys look in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for a key called: IEWebGamePlugin.IEWebGamePluginCtrl.1

Are you running the Toolbox as Administrator?

#10 It looks like you're missing these keys:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

It doesn't look like they are being created when run from the Toolbox. How about if you save the above out as a .reg and import it into the registry?

BTW, there are improvements coming to projid, clsid handling in Beta 3 :)

#11 Works now, so what about from the web installer then is there any somewhere I can add this to make sure that the web installer put these in?

#12 hello? is there someone I can put this so the installer does it?

#13 This will be fixed for beta 3 with the projid/clsid improvements I mentioned. In the meantime, if you modify the sample.html to return true on the activexIsInstalled() function, the page should load (if you have run the installer/provided the installer) on the box.

#14 even without adding the registry changes?

Can you give me some kinda idea on when we will see Beta 3? I understand this is all beta but this hiccup has alot to do with when I tell clients I can show them something.

if you do not want to post something here please email me:

#15 Yes (you won't need to make the registry changes), as that will basically bypass the activex check (and I assume will cause problems if you try to load the page before you install the plugin =) I did basically the same thing by removing the if statement that used the activexIsInstalled function.

#16 hmm is there nothing I can modify in the installer to have it add the settings to the registry? seems awfully limited.

#17 Sure, you could modify the generated NSIS script to create these registry settings. You'll find it in a Packaging/Staging subfolder...

Though, I think it would be smarter to just make sure anyone you're showing Torque 3D Betas to have run the installer and remove the check for now.

#18 yeah prolly a little easier.
