Download Manager keeps popping up even when I turn it off

Post by EnderFFX » Wed Jul 09, 2014 5:55 am

I have no idea what, I'm doing wrong. I was able to get it working with the same code on a different computer but not my current one with Windows 7 and IE 11

IEOnDownload>1,C:\Users\Mike\Desktop,ie_res
IECreate>IE[0]
IEShowIE>IE[0],0
IENavigate>%IE[0]%,[site to download],ie_res
IEWaitFileDownload>streams.txt,ie_res

The DLL may not have registered properly. Have you tried reinstalling? Or manually RegSvr32 the DownloadManager.dll file.

I'm trying that now. Does this work for all version of IE? I'm having no problems with IE8 but lots of problems with 11. I will let you know how things go after I've loaded the DLL.

Works great now for my laptop. I guess the secondary problem that comes from this is DownloadManager.DLL doesn't seem to register when upgrading to the new version.

But - as usual, kick ass product. This helps a ton.

And now it doesn't work at all. I updated to the latest version of Macro Scheduler and it stopped working.

I've used RegSvr32 to register downloadmanager.dll and it is not working. I'm going to try uninstalling macro scheduler entirely and reinstalling it and hopefully that will work.

This is getting extremely frustrasting, any advice?

Could your anti-virus/security tool be blocking the DLL?

I'm going to try pulling all anti-virus stuff if the reload doesn't work.

Any ideas which anti-virus could be the culprit? Have you heard of an anti-virus blocking downloadmanager.dll before?

Another curious thing: when I attempt to run my code that does the downloading. It basically locks my macro scheduler, I can't close out the window, I can't really do anything unless I force the task to stop running.

I'm yanking all virus software off now and trying again.

AV tools seem to be a law unto themselves. Since the download manager DLL is an IE plug in it would not surprise me in the least that it has been blocked or some other IE plugin is causing issues. And you say it used to work, and now it doesn't. DownloadManager.dll did not change between recent builds.

Not working. I have removed all virus software, I've manually run regsvr32.dll for downloadmanager.dll, I have the newest version of Macro Scheduler. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Should download manager appear as a plug in? Can I put it in as a plug in manually? Where can I check this?

I went into IE, checked enable the add on for all sites, and nothing.

I went to IE
Manage Add Ons

It doesn't appear in the Currently Loaded add-ons list but it is in the All-ad-ons list
Whenever I run the program it does increment the Use Count in the more information tab for the Download Manager

It seems like it is being accessed, but doesn't seem like it is firing, or is having trouble firing.

Any ideas?
