Hi,

I am testing my project on multiple Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 Preview and see it does not work correctly on fresh Windows 8.1 and 10 which are virtual machines. I found this is an issue with EO.WebBrowser (tested with current version 3.0.95.0). The Windows 10 does not have .NET 3.5 (includes 2.0 & 3.0) installed, while Windows 8.1 has .NET 3.5 installed. I check them from Programs and Features in Control Panel.

I am developing my app in physical Windows 7 and 8 and having no issue. But the browser does not show up on clean Windows 8.1 and 10 Preview. I know that Windows 10 is not really supported yet, but 8.1 should be supported.

The code for the test project is really simple, just create a new Windows Forms application and reference EO.WebBrowser from NuGet. Then place the EO.WebBrowser control on the form and set url. The code to show the browser is:

Code: C#
private void InitializeComponent()
{
	this.webControl1 = new EO.WebBrowser.WinForm.WebControl();
	this.webView1 = new EO.WebBrowser.WebView();

	this.webControl1.WebView = this.webView1;

	this.webView1.Url = "http://www.google.com";
}

private EO.WebBrowser.WinForm.WebControl webControl1;
private EO.WebBrowser.WebView webView1;


Thanks.

Hi,

Please check the version of EO.WebBrowser control you use. I believe the latest build works on both system fine. The latest build should have a DLL version of 3.0.95.0.

Thanks!

Hi,

I sent you my test project to the email as instruction at http://www.essentialobjects.com/forum/test_project.aspx. Could you please check it. This project does not work on my Windows 8.1 and 10 Preview.

Thank you.

Hi,

We tested this again and it appears that Windows 10 Preview is broken, however Windows 8.1 works fine. Our test environment is a freshly Windows 8.1 Enterprise VM created from Windows Azure VM Gallery. An issue on Windows 8.1 indeed was raised quite recently after user installs KB3000850. That issue has been addressed and verified both by us and by the user.

Since Windows 10 is not released yet, we will keep an eye on this and will definitely officially support it once it's publicly released. We are also making some fundamental changes that would remove some of these "fault lines" inside our product. That should be done before Windows 10 release and hopefully that will address the Windows 10 issue.

Thanks!

Hi,

My Windows 8.1 ran all Windows updates which includes KB3000850 (Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems). The error after running the test project is "An SSL protocol error occurred."

I don't find this issue on your sample project TabbedBrowser which includes in EO.Total installation package. I see the difference is your sample project is WPF while my test project is Windows Forms. I don't know why this WPF app can run on my Windows 8.1, while my Windows Forms app cannot. They reference the same EO.WebBrowser assembly.

Thanks.

Hi,

There should be no difference between the WPF version and Windows Form version since the core browser component is independent to WPF or Windows Form. Both the WPF and Windows Form controls are thin wrapper around the core WebView class. This class is not aware of WPF or Windows Form. So the problem shouldn't have anything to do with Windows Forms directly. It must be something else in your code.

If the problem continues, you can try to isolate the problem into a test app and send us the test app. Once we have that we will be happy to take a look. See here for more instructions on how to send us test app:

Hi, I'm having the same problem, on Windows 7 it works just fine, loads Flash content with no problems, but it doesn't in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Any news on this? My dll show version 15.1.94.2

Thanks!

Hi Pablo,

Make sure you have Flash installed on your system:

Note that your question is unrelated to the original question in this thread. So if you still have problems, please start a new thread.

Thanks!
