when I run it, it gets to the download page and IE 10, shows me a popup:

(text version of a popup)
What do you want to do with wdtv_1.02.17.zip
Open
Save
Save As
(text version of a popup)

and the macro waits. I tried reregistering DownloadManager.dll.

This would mean that the WebRecorder download manager is not installed or registered properly.

This line should enable it:

IEOnDownload>1,C:\day1,ie_res

Can you try reinstalling Macro Scheduler?

I see you have tried re-registering DownloadManager.dll.

But if IE is still presenting the default IE download box then DownloadManager is not registered or is being blocked.

[alexhatcher]

Ive reinstalled it.

still same behavior.

tried registering the dll with 32bit and 64bit regedt32, no difference.

Its IE 10 that im using.

If i click "save" on the dialog popup, it closed that and the downloadmnager pulls the file down.

however, it never 'exits' the macro.

What security settings do you have in IE? What are the settings for file downloads?
Do you have pop up blocker enabled?
Do you have an antivirus tool installed which could be blocking WR's download manager?

Hi,

1. could you just provide what you WANT the settings to be? I see many others posting about download issues, do you have a doc or FAQ for setting up the browser for downloads?

2. popup blocker was set to disabled.

3. I have no control over Antivirus at my corporation. When I hit 'save' it closes the popup and then runs your download manager to finish.

it never exits the macro afterwards, but one thing at a time.

[Marcus Tettmar]

I'll be honest - I don't know. I'm working on a process of elimination and we need to try stuff. I would expect it to work with default settings but there are so many variables it's always possible that some security setting is blocking it. I don't know. Is everything bog standard in your setup?

One possibility is your AV tool blocking it. If you have no control over it then we can't test that.
