How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

No, I'm in Adelaide so it's not "state" specific. As I showed in that screenshot, I am not having any problems with the full version (the latest or the one before it either).

Which ISP are you with? Are you sure your firewall settings (modem and/or software) are letting through RTMP connections on ports 1935, 443 or 80? (Hmmm... Even then, you should still be getting an index from iView)

I managed to make it work at last, but it does not work every time I fired up the program, & will just go through to fetch try 5. But then fire it up again & it sometimes works so must be an internet issue probably with TPG. Thanks for confirming that you are also in Adelaide & that it was working fine for you.

There might be an issue with TPG and iView. There's two or three people mentioning issues with that combination (see near bottom of that list at 29Apr2011).

I did some tests on a Virtual machine and if one uninstalls IE9 then iVNL works perfectly, whereas before the uninstall it would fail.

Something to do with the way AJAX has been implemented in IE9 and changing all the security settings in the world wouldn't fix things.

Unsure how to proceed with this now, other that to use WGET for Windows to do the fetching.

Was trying to avoid extra EXEs and all that.

I did similar yesterday, not very systematically - no joy.

Is a different XMLDom used with IE9, perhaps? That shouldn't be a problem though as I see IE9 uses both this one -

Name XML DOM Document
Publisher Microsoft Corporation
Status Enabled
File date ‎Saturday, ‎20 ‎November ‎2010, ‏‎8:19 PM
Version 8.110.7601.17514

and also 6.0 and 3.0 versions

[Edit2]
I tried setting Compatibility View ON for ALL 'sites' but that doesn't fix the problem, either.

Not much reported about problems with HTA apps, but this post reckons there's a problems introduced with IE9 -

You're using the 64-bit browser? The default browser on Win7, 64-bit is the 32-bit one (even with IE9), isn't it?

Nope. Win7-Pro/64bit/SP1, default IE9 is 64bit on mine - there is no 32bit version on it at all.

What about seeing if it's a JSON format problem? Maybe try some hard-coded strings and see if it's just the "iView" JSON format or if the "For Each" is just plain busted.

A few hours ago, I commented out the first For Each and found the next one (ca line 60) caused the same error.

Q: Why isn't 64bit IE the default browser? Why can't I set the 64bit version of IE as the default browser?
A: This was an explicit choice made by the IE team, which may change at some point in the future. The problem is that users might inadvertently get "stuck" using the 64bit version and not realize it. This might cause some problems.

Q: Why? What does not work properly with 64bit IE?
A: Browser addons, including BHOs, Toolbars, and ActiveX controls, must generally be the same bitness as IE itself. So, if you are running a 64bit version of IE, any site that uses, say, Adobe Flash, isn't going to work until you install the 64bit version of the addon. Sadly, almost no browser addons are currently available in 64bit versions, although that's somewhat likely to change in the future as 64bit Windows becomes more prevalent.
