Having both IE6 and IE8

[Dan]

Hi -



I have been using IE8 at work for a while and now find out an application I

need requires IE6. I have gotten so used to IE8 that I'd rather not go back

to IE6. Is there any way to have both versions loaded?





Thanks for any help -



Dan

What do you have that requires IE6 and does not work with IE8?



I think you need to visit the Website of the application and get the update.

It gives a message something like:

"Your version of the Siebel High Interactivity Framework for IE, required

for use of this Siebel application, may not be current. In order to download

a current version of the Siebel High Interactivity Framework, please ensure

that your browser security settings are correct and then log in to the

application again. Consult your system administrator for details about the

Siebel High Interactivity Framework and correct browser settings"



In reading other posts online it seems to have something to do with active-x

controls, and how there may be a difference in version between what I have

and what it expects. I've changed my IE8 security settings to enable

downloading, etc. but it continues to give the same error. I do have admin

privileges on my computer so I can't see why it still doesn't work. I

figured my last hope before I remove IE8 is to check see if they can both be

loaded, the way different versions of office can. Do you know if that's

possible?



Thanks!

Did you try holding the CTRL key while opening the site?

 

[Dan]

Yes, I tried that also. I saw that as a possible solution in some of the

posts I've read but it didn't correct it.



Thanks for your help, Rob.

Since you bought Siebel's CRM product (now owned by Oracle), why not ask

their tech support?



http://www.oracle.com/us/support/index.htm



If Oracle no longer supports Siebel, you may be stuck with that old version

unless you move to some other similar or replacement software.



You've been runing IE8 ... on WHAT? You need to use IE6 ... on WHAT? Are

we to guess as to WHICH version of Windows that you use?



So will Siebel CRM run inside a virtual machine?

That's ridiculous. How would it run on Vista (only IE7 or IE8) or W7 (IE8

only)?

If there is no later version which supports newer OS, the only possibility

will be making the User-Agent string look like IE6. E.g. in IE8 you could

install UAPick and try spoofing IE6. E.g. if the app is doing something

like parsing javascript:navigator.userAgent then that might work.

I think the problem is there too, not with IE.

They started in 1993, had IBM redistributing them, and lasted until 2005

when Oracle decided to buy them but support didn't move to Oracle until the

start of 2008. That was under 5 years ago and considering how prevalent

they were back then is why I figure they'd still be alive within Oracle if

only for the support.



According to the Oracle/Siebel support page, Siebel customers get lifetime

support. It doesn't look like Oracle dropped that as their web page is

still noting that lifetime support.



http://www.oracle.com/siebel/support.html



Now if a copy of Siebel "walked off" from the company grounds to wind up in

this guy's house, well, he became his own support staff for that product.



I didn't see "Siebel" listed in Oracle's online store but they might've

rolled that product into another of Oracle's products or renamed it. It's

probably been over a decade since Siebel was something I heard about often

enough to remember what the OP was asking about. We didn't use it at our

company but we had to write interfaces to it as part of a product that

allowed business to share data between these types of programs.
