Hi everyone,
Brand new here. I used iMacros about 10 years ago and today bought the enterprise version so I can manipulate the API within Microsoft Access VBA. I've just installed the latest version on Windows 10. Getting a bit frustrated because I can get the iimInit to work with Chrome, but I can't get it to work with Internet Explorer. I want it to work with Internet Explorer because I want to use the extraction wizard feature, which apparently only works in Internet Explorer and the iMacros browser.
This VBA code works:
iMac.iimInit "-cr", True, "", "", "", 300
This VBA code does NOT work:
iMac.iimInit "-ie", True, "", "", "", 300
Is it a specific version of Internet Explorer that iMacros works with? The version I have is 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1237).
Thanks,
Leanne

I moved your Thread from the 'Installation' Sub-Forum to the 'SI' one ('SI' = 'Scripting Interface'), + pinged @TechSup, but if "today bought the enterprise version" => you should have direct Access to @TechSup through a "Support Ticket" I would think... , (woah...!, what an hassle to find the Link...!), the Forum is "only" (Advanced) Users helping other Users, myself and the other few active Helpers on the Forum are "usually" not very knowledgeable with 'SI', me at least, even if I'm the most active Helper...
>>>
But even if @TechSup get my Alert and come to have a Look at your Issue, grrr..., you need to mention your FCI "correctly"...!
... And it's a bit of a "Detective Work" to find out what your FCI is, pfff...!:
Probable FCI...?:
Code: Select all
iMB v2021.0, 'Enterprise', Win10 [21H1 (OS Build 19043.1237)]. 'SI' v2021.0.
CR: iMacros for CR v10.1.1...?, 'PE', CR93...?
IE: iMacros for IE v14.0...?, 'PE', IE11...? [v21H1 (OS Build 19043.1237)]
And mentioning your FCI is the "basic" Info they need...
I usually don't even try to help myself when FCI is not mentioned... // But I'm much "stricter" than @TechSup about FCI being mentioned or not, I'm just "a User", so I really don't care if and what License Users have, I just want to "know" the exact/full Version (+FCI) Users are using...
- (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 Leanne,
In order to use iMacros for IE or the iMacros 'classic' browser that includes the extraction wizard (support for this will be added to the latest iMacros browser in a future release), you need to install iMacros 12.6. Your license will not be backward compatible with iMacros 'classic' by default. Please open a support case or contact Customer Service to request access to iMacros 12.6.
