Internet Explorer 7 Forum

Hi all,

I'm trying to do IE7 browser testing of some web content that includes dynamically generated VML (Microsoft's Vector Markup Language) via Canvas and the excanvas package.

The installed state of Internet Explorer 7 under CrossOver appears to have VML disabled. As an external example, http://www.grapl.com/vmlnotes/introduction/pie1.htm should display a pie chart with html labels under IE5-8, but without the VML, only the labels are displayed.

There was a VML security flaw discovered in 2006 that required VML to be disabled for a period of time (in fact on Server Editions of Windows VML remains disabled by default), so I wondered if CodeWeavers intentionally or unintentionally left vgx.dll unregistered based on security concerns. I tried

regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"

from the Run... dialog of the Control Panel tab of the bottle configuration, but this didn't help (the file is there, and I tried it by pre-expanding the environment variable).

So has anyone out there been able to successfully view Vector Markup in CrossOver IE, or know what else I could try to enable it?

Thanks!

This issue has been forwarded to the Official CodeWeavers Ticket System. If you have observed this issue and would like to report it as well, please open a support ticket or send an email to info@codeweavers.com with a description of what you are seeing and a link to this post.

Thank you!

I got further - apparently my call to regsvr32 from the Run... box didn't take, so I used notepad to create a C:\windows\registervml.bat file with the following contents:

C:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\VGX.dll"

and ran that.

Now when I bring up Internet Explorer 7 and navigate to http://www.grapl.com/vmlnotes/introduction/pie1.htm, I get the following dump in my konsole that launched cxbottlemanager:
