[ADVANCED-DOTNET] Problems launching the IE WebBrowser control on Win2k3

[Paul Gale]

Hi,

I have been trying to launch IE through the WebBrowser control by adding a
reference to shdocvw.dll and then creating an instance of the resulting
InternetExplorer class (below). All works fine on WinXP Pro. It fails on
Win2k3.

Although the code below has a catch block to print the stacktrace it never
appears. Any ideas on how to make this work on Win2k3?

Here is the code I am running:

using System;
using SHDocVw;

namespace ietest
{
   class IETest
   {
       [STAThread]
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           try
           {
               InternetExplorer ie = new InternetExplorer();
               object o = null;
               ie.Navigate("http://www.amazon.com";, ref o, ref o, ref o,
ref o);
           }
           catch(Exception e)
           {
               Console.Out.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
           }
       }
   }
}
