GWTDevPluginSetup Install issue

[Guru Prasad M]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to install GWTDevPluginSetup.exe for IE, but it throws below issue

I guess this is online installer, because whenever i execute the exe file, it shows connecting to internet and failed with this image. Somehow this original dump files were removed by GWT. Kindly suggest some ideas or way to fix this as it affects my project work. 

Thank you!

I'm afraid IE has been unsupported by Microsoft for more than 2 years now: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/internet-explorer-microsoft-edge

and "dev mode" in GWT has been "legacy" for more than 10 years‼

(and fwiw, GWT 2.13 will completely remove the remaining code associated with IE: https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/commit/2ec01342d456828078115ea534e9c9309821220d)

Can you clarify which GWT version and which IE version you are using? Thomas is right of course that the next GWT version won't even be able to start legacy dev mode, and other recent releases have removed specific implementations of UI types that needed IE specialization - but if you use GWT 2.10.1 IE11 should still work, and GWT 2.9 will support IE 8-10.

With that said, the icon and buttons in that error message don't look to me like IE, but chromium - and that error message appears to be a chromium message format. Indeed, here's the constant value in the chromium sources:

Can you confirm that you're running IE11 or earlier, and not Edge?
