iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Migration problem from working FF macro to bad iMacros Brows

Post by dfinkels » Thu Mar 29, 2007 1:27 pm

I created a macro using the Firefox add-in (VERSION BUILD=5200814 RECORDER=FF). The macro opens a webpage and saves an archive to a drive. I want to run this macro at a specific time of each weekday. I installed the iMacros Browser. I followed the instructions about renameing, copying, and registering the DLLs found in the readme first.txt. Everything works fine so far. I copied my Firefox recorded macro (found in C:\Documents and Settings\dfinkelstein\Application Data\iMacros\Macros) to the iMacros.exe macro folder (C:\Program Files\iMacros\Macros\). When I try to run my firefox macro in the iMacros Browser, I get a quick "0VERSION BUILD=5220125" and then it ends.

Any ideas? I will paste the working Firefox macro below.

I have some other questions as well:
1 - Can I launch Firefox plug-in recoreded macros with Windows Scripting? It seems like I have to use the iMacros Browser.
2 - Which iMacros version do I need to run a program with Windows Scripting? Scripting? Pro?
3 - Can I use Windows scripting to launch a Firefox macro? (My company blocks Internet Explorer by default, I have to get exceptions for each website)


working FF macro:

Are there empty lines inside the macro? Does deleting them help?

1) Yes, you can. There is a beta scripting interface that allows for using FF instead of IE or the iMacros browser. Cf. http://forum.imacros.net/viewtopic.php?p=6894

2) To use the Scripting Interface, you need iMacros Scripting Edition

3) Yes. See answer 1 above.


Best,

Hannes
