Windows 2003

WinTask fully supports Windows 2003 since version 2.6. Windows 2003 SP1 is supported since version 3.0. But you need to customize a bit your Windows 2003 in order that Windows 2003 environment is the same at the time you have recorded your actions and at the time you replay them. Follow the same advice as in Windows XP topic.

 

In Windows 2003 (and Windows XP SP2), new security features have been added when accessing Web sites. In some configurations, you are not allowed to access any Web site, and so of course, WinTask functions such as StartBrowser won't work if you are not allowed to access the specified url. YOU MUST NOT HAVE Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration ENABLED under Windows 2003.
For deactivating Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, you must have Admin rights. Then open Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows components. Select Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, click the checkbox to clear the selection, and then click OK. Click Next and then click Finish. Restart Internet Explorer to apply the changes.

For our Web functions, we load our browser extension; this facility has been deactivated by default in Windows 2003 and Windows XP SP2. So you need to activate it manually if you plan to use WinTask Web functions. You can activate in Internet Explorer main menu, by selecting Tools option, then Internet options item; click Advanced Tab and check the button called "Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)". You need to close IE and start again.

In Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003, add-ons can be Disabled one by one. For our third-party browser extension DLL, we need that WTBho add-on is Enabled ; you can check it is in IE, Tools menu, then choose Programs tab, then click Manage Add-Ons button ; in the displayed list, check that the add-on named WTBHo is enabled.

Check too this key in Registry which must be at Yes:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BrowseNewProcess
