So i removed internet explorer and reinstalled it again. Without result... So i tried something completely different, i reinstalled my laptop and installed xbmc frodo (release) and your latest version of advanced launcher and i have the exact same problem...
I seems like there is a problem the way internet explorer is started by advanced launcher. I simply tried to execute from start menu > Run > C:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe "http://www.tweakers.net", internet explorer is starting normaly.
What is your pc configuration? also windows 7, 64bit, xbmc frodo? I disabled my virusscanner, Sabnzb, deamon tools, etc. so there are no other backbround processes running.
The strangest thing is that internet explorer process is started twice. One proces of 12mb and the other is around 6mb. Couldn't there be something wrong with the way you call the executable process?
The way the process is called is the same for all the application. So it could not explain why you only have a problem with internet explorer. Advanced launcher include 3 different way to start application under Windows : from executable (.exe), from shortcut (.lnk) and from bash script (.bat). You reported me that all this 3 methods are not able to start Internet Explorer on your system. I could understand that it could have a problem into the way Advanced Launcher start an executable file, but for the LNK and BAT methods, Advanced Launcher do not care what the LNK and BAT files contain.
My windows system is actually Windows 8, 64 bits, with Frodo.
How do you exactly start Internet Explorer from Advanced Launcher?
I made a mistake... Batch and Lnk do work! I'm not sure why it didn't work with nircmd before but i made a simple batchfile and explorer is starting, kiosk mode and a custom website. If i use .lnk, the argument isn't working, i replace %rom% by
www.anywebsite.com and it starts with the normal startpage.
The disadvantage of batch is that XBMC isn't returning full screen after closing explorer. So i tried again with a batchfile witch calls nircmd and i found a sollution!
The first batch i tried did the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
cd "c:\program files\internet explorer\"
iexplore.exe -k %1
nircmd win max process XBMC.exe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
that didn't work, the batchfile didn't start. Realy nothing happend, even no switch to the desktop as happend with iexplore.exe... but i changed it to:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe -k %1
nircmd win max process XBMC.exe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And this works! XBMC is also nicely returning full screen after closing Internet explorer.
Still not sure why iexplore.exe isn't starting directly but this is a perfect sollution! Also not sure why the .LNK isn't starting the website from the arguments...
If you want to continue troubleshooting just to bugfix, i'm willing to help you
Thanks for thinking with me and helping me out here!
