Microsoft Script Debugger opens instead of js companion

Hi support-team,

when I have a simple test page like yours, instead of opening js companion it opens MS Script Debugger although I installed first MS Script Debugger and then companion.
The about gives the following info:

Companion.JS BHO loaded : OK
JS Debugger Thread running : OK
JS debugger version : OLD
JS Debugger not connected : LIMITATION - OLD debugger is not working in protected mode
Internet Explorer Version : 7.0.6000.16764
Protected Mode : OFF

Can anyone help on this matter?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Frank

That's really strange. I don't have this problem on my side.

Are you running IE in admin mode ? or normal mode (that is you are surfing a trusted site because protected mode is off, right) ?

I think in normal mode, because I'm surfing on a site that I added to the trusted sites (to be more precise, to the zone "Local intranet"). Shall i switch to admin mode? and if yes, how?

So, a new window is opening when you change from a standard site to this site, right ?

It looks like companion.JS cannot connect to the debugger. Did you install Microsoft Script Debugger ? (I suppose yes, but try to install it again).

Did you install other ie add-ons, or visual studio ?

Also, do you have "Microsoft Script Debugger" running ? If it is running, close it, because only one debugger can be connected to IE at the same time.

Re: Microsoft Script Debugger opens instead of js companion

I don't have a link, I directly open this site (it's our internal portal). Yes MS Script Debugger is installed, and it's not running (at least it did not show up today, but it did yesterday). I'll try a reinstall. I don't ave visual studio installed, but I have IE Developer Toolbar installed. But this is disabled (in the Addons-Page).

Re: Microsoft Script Debugger opens instead of js companion

Ok, I uninstalled companion js and ms script debugger, and reinstalled both.
Now: If I open your dummy-testpage and click on the "click me", it opens MS script debugger, but without showing any files. And if I click in MS SDebugger on "View running documents", its empty (altough IE is still open). If I then close the MS SDebugger, I see a popup from IE asking me if I wish to debug. If I click on yes, it again opens the MS script debugger showing no files.

If I open the JS companion toolbar, about gives me the following:
Companion.JS BHO loaded : OK
JS Debugger Thread running : OK
JS debugger version : OLD
JS Debugger not connected : LIMITATION - OLD debugger is not working in protected mode
Internet Explorer Version : 7.0.6000.16764
Protected Mode : OFF


Any ideas?

No, I don't see what can be wrong.

I will try to send you a custom version in the next few days so we can try to debug the problem.

Can you make that public as I have the same problem with V5 on Vista/IE7.
Judging by the amount of views...  a lot of others are having the same problems.

Yes, I will improve the current version by adding more info so I can check what's wrong on some configs.

Re: Microsoft Script Debugger opens instead of js companion

Thanks for your work fabrice, but in the meanwhile I switched to IE8, which has a quite good javascript debugger build in smile
But I will test the new version of js companion as well.

Cheers,
Frank
