Ibring this up as I purchased a new PC with Windows 11 and installed Civil 3D 2022 on it. I also have a laptop that I upgraded and regardless of this. We've known for well over 1 year now that this was coming from Windows. So they do NOT install Internet Explorer when you upgrade or get a new Windows 11 box. There are features within Civil 3D 2022 such as Volumes Dashboard that use Internet Explorer to read the XML that is created when you select to create a Cut/Fill report. There are also Toolbox features that do a similar process, run the Executable and Civil 3D access Internet explorer to read the XML file. Now we've been told for at least 5 years that IE (Internet Explorer) is going away and well Windows finally did this. So how do I fix this in Civil 3D? Is there a way to force Civil 3D to use Edge or Chrome instead? If so I'd love to know this fix. If now when are we getting a service pack to address this very long outstanding issue which should've been addressed back in 2018 when we were informed that IE would be retired.
I agree with @Anonymous statement, but considering they are probably testing and usually realease a update at this time of year it should be soon that you'll get an answer directly from them. I don't have any intrinsic knowledge, just going from past release schedules and such.

Nor sure if this works as I don't have Windows 11 yet (wasn't windows 10 the FINAL version, never to be replaced only upgraded?). Can you install Internet Explorer under windows 11? Or possibly just copy? I know I still use the Windows 7 calculator under window 10 and in the past used older discontinued/obsolete applet/programs in newer versions of windows.
Hello all. I, like many of you more likely than not, recently upgraded (if you can call it that ?) to the windows 11 operating system. Unfortunately, it seems that microsft is offically discontinuing Internet Explorer in windows 11, and since AutoIT's capability to automate the internet uses Internet explorer com objects, I was wondering if there was any official replacement for the IE udf in the works. And if not, then I wanted to discuss other technologies/methods which could be implemented in autoit that would restore the lost capabilities. Thanks.
Microsoft intends to support IE mode until 2029 (we use IE mode within Edge Chromium for some legacy software), have AutoIt code that uses a number of IE functions, including IE embedded and everything appears to be working correctly still.

IE will still be around until 2029, except you need to use IE mode within Edge, there are a number of legacy apps like SharePoint 2013 which are EOL next year, that still require activex components, in IE mode, Edge just embeds the window. Several years ago I wrote an Outlook signature tool, which uses the IE UDF for previewing the users signature within a custom GUI prior to creating the signature, had hoped that the tool would die with Win11 so I no longer had to support it but unfortunately it is still used company wide with both Win10 and Win11 clients.
Just launched a new EC2 windows instance and IE doesn't let me download program (I want to install on it) I tried to change security setting in IE but nothing ! I also tried to loosing up system security the time I do it (took of firewall and other stuff). Even rebooting Windows and after the instance (!? don't know if was necessary).
Install IE 11 and Microsoft.net 4.6.1 as these are the latest. IE 9 and .net 4.5.2 are quite old. Also run windows update and install any updates required as you may need some windows updates installed to run IE11 or .net etc.
However, I would seriously advise that you go with Windows 10. I also was very hesitant to move to Windows 10 having heard of so many problems with W10 and I was also very happy with W7. So I also stayed on W7 far longer than I should have and was very reluctant to upgrade.
Frustrated by Internet Explorer, fed up with its security scares, or looking for a more streamlined and safer browsing experience? Why not try the freeware Firefox browser from Mozilla. (Notice the multiple tabbed windows, and the dedicated SOS Search function built into the menu bar).
Firefox (
www.mozilla.org/products/firefox) runs under Windows 98 through to Windows XP (as well as on Mac OS X and several versions of Linux), and compared with Microsoft's IE (Internet Explorer) I find it faster, safer, and easier to use. In fact, I wish I'd swapped over a long time ago, since it's revolutionised my web browsing experience in various ways.
The most obvious is Firefox's tabbed browsing: as well as the usual 'Open Link In New Window' option, you can instead 'Open Link In New Tab', which lets you open as many tabbed pages as you like within one Firefox window. This is not only more convenient in many cases, but also uses less system resources than opening the same number of individual windows. It's great for SOS forum browsing, because I can open new windows for the PC Music, Music Recording Technology and Studio Design & Acoustics conferences, and then open dozens of tabs in each window to keep each batch neatly together while I read through them. You can even specify a group of tabs as your home page.
To make the transition from IE easier, you can import your existing bookmark collection during Firefox installation, while most of its default settings are sensible ones for the new user, so you won't have to spend ages configuring it. The Password Manager also lets you save login information for specific sites, to save ever having to type it in again.
Intriguingly, Microsoft are also selling lots of copies of their new Windows XP Starter Edition software, a stripped-down version being offered in Thailand as an alternative to Linux at about a sixth of the price of Windows XP Home. Details aren't clear on just what has been removed, but if it's ever available worldwide it might be of interest to musicians who simply aren't interested in bells and whistles.
Because Firefox is an Open Source application, there are also thousands of coders looking for security flaws and fixing them quickly. There's apparently even a $500 bounty offered to anyone who successfully spots a bug, which augurs well for any future security issues.
MIDI Fish also provides key-mapping functions that anyone with a drum synth will appreciate. Each individual note you play can be persuaded to output any other note value, so you could create a set of drum maps that allows you to always play the same type of sound (kick, snare, hi-hat and so on) from the same set of keys on your keyboard. Those with two keyboards connected to MIDI Fish input ports one and two can set this up very easily: press a note on the first keyboard, then press the desired output-translation note on the second keyboard.
It's also possible to use the key-mapping functions to route specific notes to up to four different MIDI output ports, so you could connect up to four different drum synths and play different sounds from each of them, depending on which keys you hit, or on the velocity of your hit (with optional crossfading between the sounds), or on the current value of any controller. This is a versatile utility for the MIDI performer, with features that would be very difficult to duplicate elsewhere, and is very cleverly written. You can download MIDI Fish from
www.talula.demon.co.uk/midifish/index.html.
I've also added a very relevant option to the customisable search bar. SOS Forum user Supermasita has created a Firefox search plug-in that performs a quick search for topics on the SOS web site. You can install this from here.
