Internet Explorer Navigation Error
I have a compiled application that includes an OLE web browser control and the program automatically loads a specific web page.
On confirmation to continue a new page should load for entry of a user name and password.
This fails with a status code of 2146697208
I have also tested directly in Internet Explorer and the same behavior occurs suggesting the program code is not at fault.
The user has Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8

This may be relevant, see: https://stackoverflow.com/ questions/ 11865675/w ebbrowser- control-gi ves-the-er ror-inet-e -download- failure That error is normally due to a download failure, is that the case here?

I do not think so. On my development system (Windows 10, Internet Explorer 11) and on other users with the same application also Windows 10, Internet Explorer 11 there is no problem.
Is the displayed site/page compatible with IE8? Is it falling into quirks?

I have asked the web site host if it is a compatibility issue but they are yet to respond, On the windows 10 platform I set the FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION for my application because prior to doing this I got a script error message but this did not prevent the login page from loading.

Attempted install of Internet Explorer 11 but it would not download it responded with your browser is not compatible.
hmm, when I need to guess: That users system is broken beyond simple repair.
Consider a reinstallation.

That error is issued to Win10 systems, but you stated the user is running Win 7, are certain? Have you validated this fact yourself?

I have. It is a Windows 7, 32 bit system with service pack 1.
I was connected remotely via teamviewer would that have an impact on behaviour as my system is Windows 10

As long as you were trying to perform the installation through their web browser on their system, no, it would no make any difference. Very odd.

The user had their network support install internet explorer 11. Thanks for your assistance
