Symptoms

The Welcome screen in the Command Line Builder or Project Editor may not display content correctly, and may report script errors when viewed.

Cause

These screens use a Web browser to display dynamic content from the Web. By default they use a very old version of Internet Explorer, which does not render modern Web content properly. This is particularly a problem since the relaunch of the Arcana Development Web site.

Resolution

You can reconfigure Windows to use a newer browser version for these screens, which will eliminate the problem. This is done by setting a Registry entry.

1. Install Internet Explorer 11 or later on the computer.
2. Run the Registry Editor and go to key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION".
3. Create a new DWORD value named "commandlinebuilder.exe" and set it to 11001 decimal (2af9 hex).
4. Create a new DWORD value named "projecteditor.exe" and set it to 11001 decimal (2af9 hex).
5. Restart the Command Line Builder or Project Editor.
6. Web content will now display properly.

Note: If you are not an Administrator of your computer, you can set the values under Registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION" instead of under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (which you will not have permission to update).

Status

Future releases of the Report Commander installer will set this Registry value automatically.
