I have to use a actual browser for some of my work, winhttp etc is not an option. I have been using ie for years and it's great for what I need. Now on my new win 11 machine obviously it's not working.
I found this joe gline video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySRSb4lVwuY and he suggests edge - ie mode etc.
Is there no way to use ie itself the way it was? This new edge way looks like a mess, and obviously if I have to learn something else it will be chrome.ahk or other options.
Joes video is from the end of last year, does anyone have anything new on this?
Thanks

Re: Windows 11 - Internet Explorer
Besides that IE's COM features (AFAIK) are still working within Win11*, Chromium**-based browsers like Chrome/Edge/Opera/...
seems like the way to go, simply for their prevalence: https://www.zdnet.com/pictures/all-the-chromium-based-browsers/5/

Re: Windows 11 - Internet Explorer
if I cant use ie ill look into it, I have a few big scripts that use ie as in the physical browser and these items cannot be automated without a real browser.Xeo786 wrote: ↑08 Sep 2022, 03:59were you using IE COM for automation? if so, have you tried Rufaydium?AHKStudent wrote: ↑08 Sep 2022, 03:31I have to use a actual browser for some of my work, winhttp etc is not an option.

Re: Windows 11 - Internet Explorer
I can hardly think of any "physical browser"-features (buttons/address bar/???) that you won't be able to use with another browser as well!??
And as said, IE's "core" related stuff like using its COM features are still available (with a little help from your admin)

The edge solution is a big mess, I tried it, glines was right, it works, it doesn't work etc

Re: Windows 11 - Internet Explorer
any update on this?
Re: Windows 11 - Internet Explorer
Hi.
Install virtualization on Windows 11, and create a Windows 10 or Windows 7 that has Internet Explorer. A cumbersome path , but perhaps the fastest.
