Why do _IE functions hang with 3.2.12.1 and Vista?

[vatobeto]

I am having problems with _IE functions hanging now that I have switched to 3.2.12.1 - e.g. this code from the _IECreate help page opens the browser, but then the script hangs. No MsgBox comes up.

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://sourceforge.net", 0, 0)

; Display the innerText on an element on the page with a name of "sfmarquee"

$oMarquee = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "sfmarquee")

MsgBox(0, "SourceForge Information", $oMarquee.innerText)

_IEQuit ($oIE)

Another example, _IELinkGetCollection produces an error code 3 on every URL I open with _IECreate, then dies. Error code 3= ($_IEStatus_InvalidDataType) = Invalid Data Type

These were all workin fine before switch. Any suggestions?

Naturally 3.2.12.1 means AutoIt v 3.2.12.1, and I'm using Vista Ultimate SP1.

Please see the Vista notes on _IECreate in the helpfile -- place #RequireAdmin at the top of your script.

This is boggling. First we are told to add #RequireAdmin to get around the two window problem, then told to remove that and disable UAC otherwise it thinks the page is browser is still loading and never continues.

I got my script to work in vista with

Global $oIE
$oIE = _IECreate("about:blank")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)
if @OSVersion = "WIN_VISTA" Then
    $oIE = _IEAttach("", "instance" ,1)
endif

which means no matter the new window it creates, it attaches to the first instance it finds. This does NOT work if I have #RequireAdmin in my code.
