Caravelle Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'm not sure if this is a scripting problem, a GUI problem, an IE.au3 problem, a compilation problem or what. My GUI-based script takes input, goes off to a website (which remains invisible), transfers the input into a search form, collects the results and shows them in my GUI. It's not quite finished yet, more error-checking needed, but it works - at least it works on the XP machine it was written and compiled on. But the compiled exe doesn't work on Vista. On Vista it opens the website visibly, doesn't enter anything in the search box and appears to hang. I have to use Task Manager, which says it is not responding, to close it. There are no error messages. Have I missed something obvious? Does a script need to be compiled on Vista to work on Vista? IE7 is the default browser on both machines. I can't find anything in the help that suggests this might be the case, and my Delphi XP programs run a treat on Vista but you never know.

MrCreatoR Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi,Have I missed something obvious?I think you missed some code to show as - i mean, how we can help, if we do not know the conditions of the problem...The program should work under Vista even if it compiled under XP (i think), but maybe the problem is with the resources that your program is used/reliable on, because under XP they can exists/to function, but under Vista they might not... so you must check theese conditions as well.

You might have to turn it on.

My question was a general one at this point: Have I missed something obvious? Does a script need to be compiled on Vista to work on Vista?Only if the answer to that question is "no" do we need to start looking at code. If it is "yes" then I install AutoIt3 on the Vista machine and compile the script there, and then again only if it does not work do we look at the specific code. I find it much easier to resolve one issue at a time to avoid confusion Caravelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravelle Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I think IE scripting on vista might be disabled by default. You might have to turn it on.Sorry, but can you give me a clue please where I find this setting? I couldn't find anything helpful in the MS help (nothing new there!). All I can find in the Internet settings is for disabling script debugging, and the settings are the same on both XP and Vista machines.ThanksCaravelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might explain a lot. The script does seem to work properly up to the point where an IE.au3 UDF is called.I guess I can answer my own question about XP-compiled scripts running on Vista by trying something else that doesn't involve using IE.au3.ThanksCaravelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
