IECreateEmbedded x32 on XP64

[adamski]

Hello,

How can I create a 32bit IE control on 64bit windows?

It defaults to the x64 version of IE which dosen't support Adobe Flash.

$GUIMain = GUICreate("test", $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight, (@DesktopWidth - $GUIWidth) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - $GUIHeight) / 2)
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
$oIEControl = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 10, $IEWidth, $IEHeight)

Cheers.

Hi,

Try to use AutoIt in 32bit (x86) mode. (There should be an entry in the contet menu I think)

Ah, thanks.

That was easy to get it to work by running as x32.

I can't see how to alter the F5 button to run as x32 by default though.

thanks

Why would a 32 bit copy of Internet Explorer be installed on a 64 bit OS?

Win7 x64 has always both versions of IE since most plugins have not been ported to x64 ...

That makes sense I guess.

32bit IE is the default browser on x64 systems. Because of activex controls/plugins not working, etc.

That I didn't know. I run 64 bit Windows 7 on my home rig. That will come in handy.
