Alright, Thanks for adding a Qt Mark to your Thread Title, I first thought you were sharing a 'HowTo', ah-ah...!
And OK, you've "simplified" your FCI, good... (And be "careful" when posting your User-ID/SN for iMB 'Enterprise', I'm not sure if that Info cannot be used by sbd else to pick up your License... )
>>>
Nope, you don't "need"/use 'iimOpen()' with PM, you call PM + your "starting" Script ('.iim' or '.js') directly from the Command Line (from a Windows/Browser Shortcut, or a '.bat'/'.cmd'/'.ps' File (+ Task Scheduler eventually)), just like with FF...
I use for example:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe" -P "default" imacros://run/?m="_Main JFC++Q!_4.IIM"
And if using a '.js' Script, or the "Place"/Script you want to use 'iimOpen()' from, that Script will/should contain all the Logic/Workflow for your Automation...
@TechSup should "see" your Thread, they'll probably post a Reply in it, I would think...
>>>
EDIT:
Oh...!, and stg else...: You had mentioned before editing your FCI that you were using iMB v12.6 'Enterprise' (=> 'SI' v12.6), + FIO-Module for File-Access v10.1.0, but the FIO-Module v10.x (needed indeed with 'SI' v12.x) only works with iMacros for FF v10.0.2, it doesn't/wouldn't work with v9.0.3 or v8.9.7 for FF anyway...

Re: how to use iimopen with pale moon?
Sorry about the confusion.
I have multiple FF profiles:
1) Work: FF55 and im for ff 8.9.7
2) Testing SI : FF72 and im for ff 10.0.2
One pm profile- pm28- and Im for FF 8.9.7
Was trying to prepare for a SI test on pm(?) and thought about how to call...
Thanks

Re: how to use iimopen with pale moon?
Hum, i also use 3 Profiles with PM26, but see the Comment I had put in my '.bat' File when trying to use a "dedicated" Profile:
Code: Select all
rem Pale Moon with dedicated Profile:
rem (Hum, doesn't work properly if that PM Profile is not already running, need to use the Default PM Profile...)
rem "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe" -P "JFC_Site1" -no-remote imacros://run/?m="_Main JFC++Q!.IIM"
But that was/is with PM26 (+ v8.8.2 for FF), maybe it works "better" with PM28 (+ v8.9.7 for FF), I never tried/tested again...

Re: how to use iimopen with pale moon?
Hi azbob,
The iMacros Enterprise scripting interface does not officially support launching iMacros in Palemoon, it only supports Firefox, Chrome, IE, and the iMacros browser. However, it might be possible to accomplish this via the -fxPath option to iimOpen. With -fxPath you specify the full path to the executable, so instead of specifying firefox.exe you can try specifying the executable for Palemoon. I'm not confident this will work even though I have never tried it myself, but it's worth a shot.
Regards,
Tom, iMacros Support

run in palemoon from VBA
Is it possible to launch palemoon with iimInit command from VBA?
I tried
iret = iim1.iimInit("C:\Program Files\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe", False)
but its not working
I want to use other than Firefox 56 because its very memory consuming.
I tried
iret = iim1.iimInit("C:\Program Files\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe", False)
but its not working

Hum..., you didn't do much "Research", 2nd Thread in the same 'Scripting Interface' Sub-Forum...:
- how to use iimopen with pale moon?
... And specifically the Reply from @TechSup about the '-fxPath' Switch for 'iimOpen()'...
The User didn't follow up anymore in that Thread, I hope you'll "do a better job" and will post some mini-Update with some mini working Script (in your Thread at least, but you can post in both if you want...) to "confirm" that @Tom's Solution works...?
+ FCI not mentioned, please mention your FCI ('SI' Version + OS + PM Version + '_x32'/'_x64' + iMacros for FF Version) when you post your Results..., => to make this Thread also "a bit useful for other Users" so they know "directly" in which FCI this "Method" works...

Re: how to use iimopen with pale moon?
For Info, some similar/parallel Thread, opened just after this current one, in the same 'SI' Sub-Forum...:
- Re: run in palemoon from VBA
(See if you think it's "more useful" to merge the 2 Threads, @Tom... )
@OP didn't follow up anymore in this current Thread, grrr...! , I've asked the "other User" to post an Update (in their Thread) to confirm that @Tom's Solution works indeed, and with a mini working Script..., and in which FCI...
But hum..., "fingers crossed"...! , that ("Semi-Advanced") other User is not "really known" for their "High Quality" Posts/Threads, (even after 6 years regularly posting on the Forum, with 333 Posts), with FCI not mentioned, no Research, etc... At least, they managed (for once!), to open their Thread in the correct Sub-Forum, so that's already a Big Improvement, so..., there is "Hope", maybe...! OK, we'll see...

Re: run in palemoon from VBA
Yeah well, I don't "see" '-fxPath' mentioned as a Switch in the Wiki for the "old"/deprecated 'iimInit()' Command, read the Documentation and simply use 'iimOpen()' instead of 'iimInit()'...!
And again...!, can you mention/add your FCI (to your OP, not lost somewhere in the middle of this Thread)...?
