OLAP cubes processing in IE10 and windows server 2012 - olap

I have been using OLAP cubes successfully with windows OWC components for IE6-IE9 and Windows XP- Windows 7 with sql server 2005/2008. I have not encountered any issues till then.
But when I try to run my application on Windows Server 2012 with IE 10 browser with sql server 2005/2008, the cubes doesn't render. It doesn't give any error message either. The page just doesn't load cubes. All the other functionality works fine apart from that. Again if you run IE in IE8 compatibility mode it works fine, but if you change the compatibility mode to IE9/IE10 the cubes doesn't show up at all. No error on page.
My IE security settings are intact. Not sure if I need to download another piece of software or any other component for the cubes to work.
Any help would be great since I am stuck since 2 days at that point.
Thanks,
Nihir

actually the issue was with the vbscript function called. It seems IE10 expects vbscript funciton to be either in all lower cases or all upper cases. No mixed case mode is allowed. changing function name to all lower cases worked fine

SCORM (flash Player Content) not working on Windows Server 2012 R2 which has IE11 integrated installed on it

I have website which contains SCORM package, installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 which has IE11 installed on it. Flash Player is also embedded with IE.
IE Version: 11.0.9600.17278.
Updated Version: 11.0.12 (KB2977629)
When I launch SCORM (flash Player Content) from my application, it is not working. It just displays a blank page however the Title of IE is set to the text from the SCORM content.
However if I access the same URL from any other machine which has previous version of Windows OS (i.e. previous to Windows 8 OS), it is working as expected on IE9, IE10 and IE11.
While trying to find out the cause, I came across some forum which says we have to install the “Desktop Experience” on the server to enable the inbuilt flash player. After doing that also, My SCORM contents are not getting displayed.
To find out more details, I have uploaded the SCORM Package on SCORM Cloud to check if it is working there. Here again the same problem, it doesn’t work and displays error message saying that “Member is not found” and when I tried to find out the location of the error then it is coming at windows.document.myflash.SetVariable(…) method on the Windows Server 2012 R2 with IE11.
When I performed “Addwatch”, it is saying that windows.document.myflash doesn’t have SetVariable(…) method.
However if access the same cloud URL from other machine (Having OS previous to Windows 8 OS), it is working as expected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Windows Server has probably a restricted Internet Explorer installed (this is an addon for IE that restricts the kind of content that can be run from a web page).
If this is disabling flash content, you will have to uninstall the addon.
You could check if any other flash based page is working, e.g. Youtube to confirm that Flash is disabled.
I found the cause and the solution for the same.
Actually it was throwing an javascript error which was expecting "StudentName" and "StudentID" property which I haven't set. However even though I was not setting these parameter, it was working on other versions of IE.
After setting these parameters, it is working now.
Thanks for all suggestions.

VS2008 on Windows 8 stepping through when debugging a web-app takes a long time

When I try to step through a web-app via F10 key in VS2008 running on Windows 8 Pro it takes about 3 seconds for each step through to complete.
On windows XP and windows 7 running VS2008 debugging the same project that doesn't happen.
If anyone has a idea of why this would be happening on Windows 8 only, please do share.
Thank you.
What browser are you using? This used to be an issue with FireFox and Ipv6. If you are using FireFox please try these steps :
Open FireFox browser.
Type 'about:config' in the address bar (without the single quotes).
Type this in the Search bar that appears : Ipv6
You should see the 'network.dns.disableIPv6' property and click on
Toggle. Restart FireFox browser.
Debug again and see if the debugging is now faster.
I've removed a lot of the watch variables from the Watch 1 window during debugging and stepping through is now basically happening in real time with no delay.
Strange how this doesn't need to be done on Windows 7 or XP.
I guess it is another notch on the list of Windows 8 quirks.

CSS and Button issue occurs only in IE7 and Windows Server 2008

I have a CSS issue that appears to only be reproducable when viewing the webpage in IE7 on a Windows 2008 web server. The issue does not occur when viewing the page on my dev version of the website (which is a widnows 7 environment). Note: the windows 2008 server and dev code (and database data) are the same.
The problem is when a popup is displayed, one of the buttons poistion is not updated (actually, the image for the button is not updated, the button itself has moved but is not displayed as such). This kind of problem is usually straight forward to fix because you can inspect the elements in IE9, but in this case you can't see the HTML that is output and you cannot select the elements in the popup. I cannot reproduce this on my dev machnine and cannot inspect the button element in the browser as you usually would be able to.
Are there any known issues that can be caused simply by websites being hosted on certain versions of windows server? (I can't think of anything else that's different beteween dev environment and the server)
I have researched on the internet but there seems to be very little regarding this specific issue. The best guess I have is that it may be caused by something being used by the site called PIE.htc and it may be one of the issues listed here: [http://css3pie.com/documentation/known-issues/][1]
[1]: http://css3pie.com/documentation/known-issues/ but this is a long shot and I have no way of verifying whether this is the case because the code must first be deployed to the 2008 server (I cannot reproduce it in dev environment and cannot inspect elements)
I cannot think what else could be causing this issue so any any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

ASP.NET MVC 3.0 deployed code not working in IE8 in IIS 7.5

I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 app. It is working fine in both IE8 & FF when we run VS2010. I have deployed this code in IIS 7.5. Now, the deployed app is working fine in FF, but not in IE8. I am getting error:
Stop running this script?
A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly...
See following screen-shot:
I tested the published code in IIS6, It's working fine in both FF and IE8.
Any help is appreciated.
You are probably using some javascript which is entering a loop of some sort (possibly recursion)
Either comment out one function at a time to see which function is the culprit, or do it in binary-search fashion and comment out half at a time to narrow it down.
Finally, is there something out of the ordinary about your page? If the your javascript (or one of your libraries) was not the culprit, start ripping out chunks of your code to narrow the problem down.
Unfortunately there is not a quick answer to this one...
There are various ways to try to determine what's going on with your JavaScript. Try reloading the browser. You can also try downloading the Ajax profiling bits at
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/AjaxView
This can help determine your slow functions. You could also load up the JavaScript debugger and break into the code as well
What nonstandard javascript libraries are you running? Any?
Since your app runs differently seemingly only based on iis version differences compare a session on one to a session on the other using 'Fiddler'

w3wp crashes when starting debug in VS 2005

I know there were a couple similar questions, but none solved my problem.
This issue just started within the last couple of days. I don't always hit VS everyday, so I can't say for sure when it began.
When I start debugging, the app loads in IE, but the w3wp process dies with the message
"The program '[9252] w3wp.exe:
Managed' has exited with code 0
(0x0)."
I'm running Vista and debugging on IIS 7 (local machine). VS 2005. This is not a new environment. Everything had worked for months before this issue began.
I've Googled and found a number of solutions. I tried messing with the Process Model settings in the app pool. I tried changing the app pool. I've dug through all the settings of VS I could find that seemed applicable. I am running as administrator. Also, I run VS 2008 as well, and that is working fine.
Update: I tested another app and also had a problem. Though that app was configured to debug on the native VS web server (I forget what it's called off the top of my head), so the error is
The program [7192]
'WebDev.WebServer.EXE: Managed' has
exited with code 0 (0x0).
After about 8 hours of wasted time, I can answer my own question. It's an issue with VS2005/IE8. They, for whatever reason, do not play nice together. I uninstalled IE8 and everything is working fine.
I know Microsoft is a big company, but some interdepartmental communication and testing would be awesome.
I was having this same problem.
According to this Microsoft list of Visual Studio 2005 issues on Microsoft Vista, there are two requirements to fix this issue:
Start Visual Studio with Elevated Administrator Permissions
Make sure that the IIS 6 Compatibility Layer for IIS 7 is installed
The IIS 6 Compatibility components can be added by going to the Control Panel, selecting Programs and Features, and clicking Turn Windows features on or off. Make sure to check the IIS 6 Management Compatibility components under Internet Information Services.
Once I installed these components and rebooted I was able to debug.
EDIT: I still find that the process dies on my from time to time if I have other Internet Explorer browser windows open. Therefore, I have to make sure that the only Internet Explorer window that is open is the one that is debugging my Visual Studio 2005 code. I use FireFox to browse the web in parrallel if I need to.
This can happen if a stack overflow (no pun intended) occurs in your application. Stack overflows are usually caused by infinite recursion in your code.
I had the same problem since an update from latest weeks.
But solved by simply open the develompment tools and set the browser mode to ie7.
I get this if I have an existing IE window open when I start the debugger. Make sure you close all existing IE windows.
Using IE1 and VS 2003 (!) on Win 7 Enterprise N, I found that having additional IEs running made debugging impossible, but when starting the debug session after losing all IE windows worked.
Cost a lot of time and frustration.
I solved the issue on mine, by doing the following:
Go to IIS.
Go to Application Pools.
Click Advanced Settings on the relevant App Pool.
Find the key "Ide Time-out Action" and increase the value to something you think is right for you.
