IECreate woes in Win7 & IE11

[Viscouse]

I'm sorry to post, but I need some help.

I have a Windows 7 machine with Internet Explorer 11 and the latest Autoit.  I can't get this simple line to run and it's just bogglling me.

#include <IE.au3>
Local $oIE = _IECreate()
Local $sHTML = "<h1>Hello World!</h1>"

>"C:Program FilesAutoIt3SciTE..autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "D:autoittest1.au3"    
--> IE.au3 T3.0-1 Error from function _IECreate,  (Browser Object Creation Failed)
>Exit code: 0    Time: 0.312

I have no idea why this is happening.  Can anyone help me with any tips?

Do you have any zombie ie instances running?   Have a look in task manager and see if you have too many instances of Iexplore.exe.

What are you trying to do?  Are you trying to create a web page with <h1>Hello World!</h1> on it?  Look at the help pages for: _IEBodyWriteHTML or _IEDocInsertHTML

Do the sample scripts at the bottom of the _IECreate() helpfile entry work for you?

No zombies running.  I found that advice in another thread and was the first thing I checked.

As for what I'm trying to do, is just get IE open to a website.

The code you see above is actually Example #4 from the helpfile.  In fact, none of the examples work.  I get the same error: "--> IE.au3 T3.0-1 Error from function _IECreate,  (Browser Object Creation Failed)"

I should add that I have another machine, also Win7, but running IE8.  I ran the same script as in the initial post and it worked perfectly.

Could it be a IE issue?

I now also have a Windows 7 machine with Internet Explorer 11 and the latest Autoit and this works ok for me.

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate()
Local $sHTML = "<h1>Hello World!</h1>"
_IEBodyWriteHTML($oIE, $sHTML)

of course I've included the required last line which is missing from your first post:

_IEBodyWriteHTML($oIE, $sHTML)
