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.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

iimInit & iimOpen returning -1

Post by smptech » Thu Jun 15, 2017 11:52 am

Hi,

I am running imacros 7.5.1 (scripting edition) locally on a windows 7 box without any issues when iimInit or iimOpen is used. However when I deploy my application to the server and launch the function in my app that runs iMacros scripts, it will launch the browser (imacros browser), but I get a -1 returned when either it init or open commands are executed. As I'm sure you know this error indicates that the software was not setup correctly.

Any suggestions?

FCI: iMB v7.5.1, Win7 + iMB v7.5.1, OS...?

Your "when I deploy my application to the server and launch the function in my app" is a bit vague... What "Server", what "Function", what "App"...?

But have a look anyway at this Thread from yesterday, I reckon you are both in the same "Situation" and I would give you the same Answer...:
- iiminit returns -1 on Windows 10
- (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...
