Viewing project on IE - setup questions

Admin
Hi guys,

I am confused ... I am trying to link into my system from an IE explorer ... and don't seem to be able to get the ISSymbol ActiveX to load.

My project (V7.0) has the following link for the symbol file:
http://www.indusoft.com/issymbol/v70.0.1/

This link does not seem to exist anymore...

Getting smarter, I tried to look at the Demo from the Indusoft page .. to try to get the ISSymbol loaded...

I accept the download, but at the bottom I get warning symbol and Done ... But with errors on page.

When I double click this, it tells me that line 74 is invalid ... checking the souce shows me that line 74 = ISSymbol = Run().

I have checked my IE Security settings .. and all seems fine.

so ...

1. in my Thin client setup, what URL should I now be using?

2. Where can I find the files to store locally so the IT department can setup the user's PC's?

3. Anything I am seriously missing?

4. Is it really worth upgrading to v7.1, and what will I likely break if I did?

Thanks

Barry
  • Have you set up all the MIME types in IIS that are required to be manually entered in the IIS setup? IWS 7.1 eliminates the need to do this and if you do manually enter them, IWS 7.1 will fail since it tries to register them from the web page and it will fail because they already exist (took me a while to find that one).

    Always verify your project before you publish the web pages. It helps to have directory browse enabled when you start working with the web pages since it removes the issue of "is IIS working". If you type in the URL for example http://mycomputer and everything is set up correctly you will get a directory listing of the IWS Web directory. Then your users only have to type in the URL http://mycomputer/my_start_page.html and the applicaton will load and run.

    There is an application note on the web site that goes through the setup of IIS and the things like access permissions, shared directories and such. Give it a read and make sure the MIME types are setup.
