VFP9SP2 app running on Win10 Pro, build 1809.
See https://www.screencast.com/t/pFvzYl2H7ZX6. These users are all running Windows 10, and my app works on all machines but 1. I tracked it down (via vRunFox!) to the line that creates an instance of Internet Explorer: oIE = createobject("internetexplorer.application")
This code has been running fine for nearly 15 years. Ideas?

Do they have any orphaned instances of IE still running invisibly?
Have you checked the Registry to verify that entry exists? HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetExplorer.Application
Following the CLSID in the Wow6432Node on my 64-bit Windows 10 system I find the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32 points to a very odd util. "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Internet Explorer\ielowutil.exe" -CLSID:{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
It's possible the program has been uninstalled, or didn't ship with the PC when it was new.
But I've had my computer since it was running Windows 7, so IE is still installed.
HTH, Tracy

Hi Alan/Tracy,
I suspect there's some afoul in the registry. I'm suggesting they run CCleaner and have their IT guy investigate any other instances of IE besides version 11 on their machine.

What I mean is if they open Task Manager (or go out to an administrator prompt and do 'tasklist') are there a whole load of IEXPLORE.EXE listed ?
I'll check. On mine, which runs fine, I did the tasklist and noticed 6 instances of iexpore.exe listed. So what? Not sure how that matters since mine works fine and shows multiple instances running.

Apparently that error can occur if IE exhausts resources and can't start any more instances.
Is it possible the 32bit version of internet explorer is either missing or disabled in some way?
