Problem with _IEattach

[MiMac]

Hey all,

I have developped a script which works on a PC but not on another.

On the PC with the issue, the problem in the script comes from the function _IEattach.

Before launching the script, an IE page has to be present.

The beginning of the script is:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <INet.au3>
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

WinActivate("Microsoft Internet Explorer","")
$Title = WinGetTitle("")
$oIE = _IEAttach($Title,"WindowTitle")oÝ÷ Ùh^'±yË­zØ^±Êâ¦Ö®¶­­ë)¢wljëh×6>"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "F:\ALSTOM\AutoIt_Test\3\EventsView2.au3"    
--> IE.au3 V2.3-1 Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IEStatus_NoMatchoÝ÷ Øí«jǺÚ"¶·¬¦Ý±«­¢+ØÐìÅÕ½ÐíèÀäÈíAɽɴ¥±ÌÀäÈíÕѽ%ÐÌÀäÈíM¥QÀäÈ츸ÀäÈíÕѽ¥Ð̹áÅÕ½Ðì½ÉɽÉMÑ=ÕÐÅÕ½ÐíèÀäÈí1MQ=4ÀäÈíÕѽ%Ñ}QÍÐÀäÈìÌÀäÈíÙ¹ÑÍY¥ÜȹÔÌÅÕ½Ðì)èÀäÈíAɽɴ¥±ÌÀäÈíÕѽ%ÐÌÀäÈí%¹±ÕÀäÈí%¹ÔÌ ÐÀàà¤èôôÐìMÕÍÉ¥ÁÐÕÍÝ¥Ñ ¹½¸µÉÉäÙÉ¥±¸è)%%Í=¨ ÀÌØíIÑlÑt¤Q¡¸)%%Í=¨ ÀÌØíIÑxII=H(Ðíá¥Ð½èÄQ¥µèÀ¸ÔÐÔ

I don't understand, because it works on my other PC.

They have the same version of windows (Win XP SP2), the same version of AutoIt (3.2.10.0)

The PC with the problem is a: Intel Xeon 3.4Ghz

Please help me.

I have done the test on another PC: works well

I dont understand. The problem is that the PC where the script doesn't work is the PC where the script has to be executed.

So, it's a big problem for me.

Please, help me

MiMac.

Start with this change to prove it sees the window at all:

If WinExists("Microsoft Internet Explorer", "") Then
    $Title = WinGetTitle("Microsoft Internet Explorer", "")
    $oIE = _IEAttach($Title, "WindowTitle")
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Window does not exist: Microsoft Internet Explorer")
EndIf

I think your problem is earlier, but _IEAttach() is the first time you bother to verify the window exists at all.

Perhaps you should try using 'Title' instead of 'WindowTitle'. Doesn't IE7 say 'Windows Internet Explorer"?

_IEAttach embedded was unfortunately broken by a bug in DLLCALL in 3.2.10.0 when syntax was changed for 64-bit

It is fixed in the next beta (not yet released). You'll need to revert to the previous AutoIt version for now or focus on another solution that avoids embedded (see PsaltyDS and Nahuel's posts for that).

Thanks Nahuel and PsaltyDS for your responses, but the problem is not the presence or not of the IE page, but the _IEattach function. I've already tried your proposals.

Ok DaleHohm, i try to install a previous version of AutoIt (3.2.8.1 ?).

Edit: I've not tried the Nahuel proposal . I try before changing AutoIt version

Ok, the Nahuel proposal works.

Thanks All.
