When I launch Setup.exe it check for prereqs, then attempts to download the toolbar downloader. IE opens and I can see "ieframe.dll" show up in the title bar and then IE crashes with "MS IE Shell stopped working". No other error occurs and no other message.

If I make Chrome my default browser and download Setup.exe and launch, the downloader downloads fine and executes fine. Only when IE is my default browser does Setup.exe have a problem with downloading the downloader.

Any ideas?

Hi Shawn,

We used to face a similar issue. Usually it was solved after all the latest updates for the operating system and .NET Framework were installed.

Well, I've tried everything I could think of. IE crashes as soon as it attempt to download the downloader. I'm in a time crunch so it's off to find another solution.

This is the error in the event log:

EventType clr20r3, P1 ieexec.exe, P2 2.0.50727.3053, P3 4889dd0c, P4 ieexec, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4889dd0c, P7 9, P8 22e, P9 system.io.filenotfoundexception, P10 NIL.

What file is it looking for? This error happens when it is attempting to download the downloader.



Update:

Using Fiddler i see that "<toolbarname>.exe.config" is trying to be downloaded but does not exist.

Hi Shawn,

What version of .NET Framework do you develop the add-on for? Does the target PC has the same version/build of .NET installed?

I'm targeting 2.0. I have two machines I'm testing on, and both have 2.0 installed. However, why does that matter? Shouldn't the setup.exe download and install 2.0 if it's needed? Isn't that the point of setup.exe?

THanks,

Shawn

More info.

It all works fine if I use Chrome to download and install the toolbar. The reason is "iexec.exe" does not run if I use chrome. Are there any IE explorer permissions that might interfere with the download and install process, besides the obvious?

Thanks,

Shawn

Hi Shawn,

If you set prerequisites in the Prerequisites dialog of the Publish wizard, setup.exe should download and install them.
At the moment I am investigating this issue. Still can't reproduce it on Win7 + IE9 + Google Chrome.
I will let you know if I find any solution.

I got it working. All I did was recreate the setup project. I still have no idea why it was happening, but starting over worked.
