Hello-

I'm using GWT 2.3 and I have IE 8.
When I run in Development Mode and use the 'Copy to Clipboard', paste
the URL into IE, I get a yellow webpage saying "Development Mode
requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin" with a link to
download the plugin for IE. I click on the link, it downloads and
installs, but all of this repeats whenever I try to use IE with
Development Mode, even after restarting IE, uninstalling the GWT
plugin and re-downloading/installing. My OS is Vista.

It's not a problem for other browser types but I'm trying to
troubleshoot specific issues with IE, so need to use IE with
Development Mode.

How can I get past this?

Many thanks...

Hi,

can you double check a few things?

1) double check it is really installed. go to control panel, installed apps and check if it is really installed.

2) assuming it is installed, can you make sure the plugin is enabled to run? maybe the simplest thing is to reset IE settings, close open and try to connect to devmode. IE should show a message asking to confirm if you want to run the plugin.
