Unable to install developer gwt plugin for IE 7 or 8

Question

I want to install the gwt developer plugin for IE (I already installed it on chrome and firefox without any problems). When I want to install it for IE7 (on both perspectives with sp2 and a Windows 2008 server with sp2), it says that the plugin is installed successfully, but it does not work and does not add anything to the add-in section.
I upgraded my version to the latest version 8 and even installed IE8 with an optimized version of Google, but that did not help me.
Any idea?

Answer 1

I had the same problem in IE8 Windows XP, where she stated that it was installed successfully. But it still showed the installation message in the browser (and not in the application itself).

I understood why this did not work for me, and the primary reason was that the procedure for entering the network administration system apparently created two profiles for me:

C:\Documents and Settings\g43899 (obsolete profile location) and

C:\Documents and Settings\g43899.ND60A600 (new profile location)

Before explaining in detail, check out the GWT Defect List suggestions , question 4358 :

2. Is the following registry key set: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID {1D6156B6-002B-49E7-B5CA-C138FB843B4E}? If so, what are its subsections and meanings?
3. What happens when you run "regsvr32.exe oophm.dll"? Can you try "regsvr32.exe / u oophm.dll" and then "regsvr32.exe oophm.dll"?

On my machine, the registry key does not exist. In addition, I received a warning error when running the regsvr32.exe oophm.dll :

 LoadLibrary("oophm.dll") failed - The specified module could not be found. 

I managed to find the dll file in the first folder in

C:\Documents and Settings\g43899\Application Data\Google\Developer Plugin\IE\oophm.dll

But since this location was associated with an outdated profile, I did the following

• Moved the folder from Application Data\Google\Developer Plugin to the new profile location.
• Ran regsvr32.exe "%APPDATA%\Google\Developer Plugin\IE\oophm.dll"

After this command, I can see the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1D6156B6-002B-49E7-B5CA-C138FB843B4E} . Now everything was blackmailing. Hope this can help you.

I add the full contents of 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID {1D6156B6-002B-49E7-B5CA-C138FB843B4E} ` if necessary This.

Most users trying to install the GWT devmode plugin for IE8 on a 32-bit version of Windows 7 (Vista) could use the following script from the command line (replace “Foo” with your Windows username):

regsvr32.exe "C: \ Users \ Foo \ AppData \ Local \ Google \ Google Web Toolkit \ Developer Plugin \ IE \ oophm.dll"

Users trying to install for IE9 will not be able to install unless they add a specification to doctype to force IE9 to display as IE8, for this post from Google ...

I also had this problem. In my case, the error code is: 1612.

The problem was that after my Windows user profile was broken, I renamed it and downloaded all my data from the server to the new location of the user profile.

To solve this problem, I took the following steps:
* First, I removed the old GWT Dev Plugin for IE in the control panel → Add / Remove Software
* Since the user profile was saved in a new location, I had to manually specify the location of the gwt-dev-plugin-x86.msi file in the new user profile
* Finally, I opened http://gwt.google.com/samples/MissingPlugin/MissingPlugin.html in IE and installed the plugin again

Hope this helps: =)

This guide seems outdated:

OS: Windows Vista 32 IE: Version 8

I installed the installation process (addon / plugin) 5 times, and the file "oophm.dll" is missing on my hard drives. In addition, I was able to easily install the plugin for Chrome and Firefox.
