Are there any known problems with using URLDownloadToFile in Windows 98 running IE 6? The function downloads the file in XP and Vista but fails in Win98. IE 6 in Win98 will download the file if it is given the file's URL.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
TL

did you notice the remark about caching? http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/UrlDownloadToFile.htm
Quote:
In v1.0.44.07+, the URL is retrieved directly from the remote server (that is, never from Internet Explorer's cache).

How recent is your ahk version for this win98 computer ?
Code:
msgbox %A_AhkVersion%

Just out of curiousness, can you download the file with IE6. I could be some (IE) setting in the win98 box that is causing the problem. I have used UrlDownloadToFile without any problems on several installions of Win98se/IE501 and Win98/IE4.

Thanks for the replies.

The ahk version is 1.0.47.06. It doesn't appear that caching is the problem.

Yes, I can you download the file with IE6. The IE settings seem to be ok.
