OpenBrowser issue with Win 10\IE 11

[fwason]

var browserProcessId = Host.Local.OpenBrowser(crmUrl,
Configuration.GetConfigurationValue("BrowserType"), true, true);

isn't working on Windows 10, testing IE 11. The parameter TRUE for 'close existing' is causing an access denied message to be thrown. if I use the following then it is OK, but I need to close similar browsers in another way.
browserProcessId = Host.Local.OpenBrowser(crmUrl,
Configuration.GetConfigurationValue("BrowserType"));

Right now I'm catching the error, using the method without the close and maximize parameters, and closing browsers which might be open already by scanning for open web browsers and calling Close() in the WebDocument class.

Hello fwason,

What is "Configuration.GetConfigurationValue("BrowserType")" and where is this from?

If I put just "IE" instead of this, it works for me. Closes IE if it is already open without issues. I have full admin rights and Enhanced Protected Mode disabled in IE.

Do you have Enhanced Protected Mode disabled and do you have admin rights?
Also, please let me know if writing "IE" instead of Configuration.GetConfigurationValue("BrowserType") has any influence.

Regards,
McTurtle

no, it doesn't work with IE. The property accessor you're referring to is part of our framework... reading the type of browser under test for a specific run\configuration.

I have full admin rights, EPM disabled. This is only happening on a Win 10 machine... Win 7 and Win 8.1 are fine. As I mentioned, this works (abridged code presented):

IList<Ranorex.WebDocument> AllDoms = Host.Local.FindChildren<WebDocument>();
foreach (WebDocument myDom in AllDoms)
if (myDom.Domain == domain) //here domain is the application domain under test. We don't care to close unrelated windows
:
:
myDom.Close();

Please ALWAYS include the FULL Ranorex version when raising issues.

Have you tried a clean reinstall of Ranorex?

1. Uninstall Ranorex.
2. Reboot the system.
3. Reinstall using the Ranorex-6.2.1.exe download (not the MSI).

I'm deleting this reply as Ranorex has reached out directly to work on the issue together. I will post an update when appropriate.

First, I'm trying to help. Regardless of whether you like or agree with my answers or not, my intention is to help. I'm sorry if you feel any of this is not helping.

*** DELETED DUE TO INCORRECT INFORMATION ***

Finally, the information I referenced should be posted in the plain text of the post, every time you raise an issue, regardless of whether it is included in attached files, because it is easier for those helping to see it, and sometimes attachments don't work on other's systems. This is stated in the Please Read posts that are stickied at the top of the forums.

I must apologize. You are correct, I was looking at the IHost interface instead of the Host class.

Again, I apologize if anything I've said has caused problems. I'll delete my original post to clear up the confusion.
