An Application Error Occurred

Post by xristafer » Tue Sep 24, 2019 8:56 pm

Greetings,

I've been using iMacros for a few years now and have never had this issue crop up until this week.

When I try to launch the iMacros Browser installed at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ipswitch\iMacros\iMacros.exe" I get the error message below.

The year of support I got for purchasing the Professional Edition has expired and the response I got from Ipswitch was basically to buy the new version or another year of support. :(

I'm able to launch the iMacros for IE sidebar program and that version is iMacros Sidebar for Internet Explorer (x64) Version 12.5.2018.1105.

I'm sorry but I can't launch the base iMacros.exe to pull up the exact version if it differs from the above. I can get by running the IE sidebar, my scripts still work, but I've always preferred the iMacros Browser.

For OS I'm running Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit.

Any help you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Well I attempted to use the iMacros for IE version since I get the error message in my previous post every time I try to start the iMacros Browser.

Would there be any reason that iMacros for IE wouldn't be able to save a screen print as a PNG when this same script always saved one when it was run using the iMacros Browser?

The rest of the script ran just fine, my CSV file is full of the data I usually have, it's just the screen print PNG's that are completely missing... almost like it just skipped that step.

FCI a bit scattered all over your OP, it's always "easier" if you can mention it a bit "more clearly" in just one place, and preferably at the complete Top of your OP...:
=> FCI:

Code: Select all

iMB v12.5
iMacros Sidebar for Internet Explorer (x64) Version 12.5.2018.1105.
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit.
Can't really help you with such Installation Issues, as I don't use iMB, I have "soft alerted" @TechSup if they can have a look, as you opened your Thread in the 'General' Sub-Forum instead of the 'Installation/Licensing' Sub-Forum where it belongs (and will probably be moved to), (and @TechSup would have gotten some automatic Notif if you had opened it in the 'Installation' Sub-Forum)...

Hum, the 'SAVEAS TYPE=PNG' should "normally" work (also) in v12.5 for IE as the 'PNG' Type is according to the Wiki supported in both Browsers/Versions...

But the different Types for the 'SAVEAS' have already been "broken" or not working/supported anymore in the past a few times across all different iMacros Versions..., but I don't see any "Known Issues" about it in the Wiki/Release Notes... :?

:arrow: Have you tried using 'SAVEAS TYPE=BMP' instead of 'PNG'...? :idea:
:arrow: And using the 'SCREENSHOT' Command...? :idea:

Hum..., and stg else to check/try, would be to not specify anything at all for the 'FOLDER' + 'FILE' Params, and see if iMacros is still able to save some Screenshot with some "Default" Name in either the Default iMacros 'Downloads' Folder or your IE Default 'Downloads' Folder... :idea:
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...

Hi xristafer,

The information and suggestions chivracq provided with regard to saving the image are spot-on.

As far as the original issue of the iMacros browser not starting, have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling iMacros and activating your license again?

If this does not correct the problem, then please paste the TroubleShooting Information here (click the Person icon on the iMacros sidebar and then click the Troubleshooting button).
