Hi All,

This thread has prompted me to develop a little VB.Net application to do
what is being asked here.  It uses the dotNET framework's WebBrowser
control to render the pages using whichever version of Internet Explorer
that happens to be installed on your system.  It appears to work ok
using the recently release stable v7.9.0 version of LMS until you go
onto the View Albums page when all hell breaks loose (usually but not
always).  I don't see this behaviour when using IE11, only when using
the embedded WebBrowser control.  A second gotcha is that clicking the
'close' button at the bottom of the settings screen causes things to
lock up so you have to close it the "normal" way by using the red X in
the title bar.

If you want to give it a go to see if you have better luck than me then
the binary is downloadable from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3FYTvOCzQYAOGU2YzExaUV6RzQ/view?usp=sharing

To use it, just run it with a command line argument that specifies the
url.  There is also a a second, optional argument to hide the status
bar:

Code:
--------------------
    
  usage: WebAppWrapper.exe url [NOTSTATUS]
  
  eg:  WebAppWrapper.exe "http://127.0.0.1:9000";
  or:  WebAppWrapper.exe "http://127.0.0.1:9000"; NOSTATUS
  
--------------------


If anyone wants to see if they can work out why it crashes when viewing
albums then the source code is available on request (pm me for it) but
there isn't much to it really.  I suspect the problem is with the
WebBrowser control's internal rendering engine (which should be the same
as ie11 in my case but obviously isn't!).
