Problems installing and supporting Awesomium

I want to use Awesomium as an embedded web browser in my WPF application.

I tried installing the latest version of the Awesomium SDK (1.6.3b) and two versions (1.6.2 and 1.6.1). Everything crashes on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine with an unpleasant error, for example:

[SEH_GENERIC] ARRAY_BOUNDS_EXCEEDED (0xc000008c) at address [0x757ab9bc] *** Stack Trace (x86) *** [0x757ab9bc] RaiseException() [0x00b1983e] ----- [0x00b1435a] ----- [0x00b134cc] ----- [0x00af5650] ----- [0x77a60a52] RtlCreateHeap() [0x77a5b375] RtlFormatCurrentUserKeyPath() [0x77a53c74] RtlImageNtHeader() [0x49564441] ----- [0x5354534e] -----

Repeated emails and web requests to the company and the founder (Adam Simmons) about the licensing of the site and the installation problem did not receive an answer.

My questions:

  • Is there a way around the error above so that I can at least try the SDK?
  • Awesomium seems to be the de facto standard for implementing a "good" web browser in a WPF application. However, installation problems and a lack of response from the team are of concern when using this product. What do people experience with this?
  • Is there a viable alternative not built in IE?

I tried awesomium for the xna application recently and the installation went without problems, so I can not talk about your first question.

To question 2: Sometimes developers respond fairly quickly, but I experienced that problems related to critical other complex topics are often ignored.

Question 3: There are (at least) two other frameworks worth looking at.

  • http://berkelium.org/ Berkelium is a BSD licensed library that provides browser shutdown via the Chromium open source Google browser.
  • http://sourceforge.net/projects/webkitdotnet/ : WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the system version of the Mac OS X operating system used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X applications. WebKit HTML and JavaScript code begin as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE.

Regarding the SDK installation issue, it seems that Awesomium does not work on x64 due to the fact that Chromium does not support (yet) for x64 Windows. The awesomium website has a support theme. So far, it has worked perfectly on our x32 systems. Have you tried 32-bit Windows and see the same error? I wish you the best
