Access denied on viewing html report under win8

[gleeuw]

Hi,
When trying to view an exported html report under windows8 IE shows a popup: access denied.
Already tried permissions on generated files (full control) and IE security settings (running active content allowed).
Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Gerard.

I'm guessing something has changed since I originally constructed this table. (My guess is that a default security setting has changed to prevent the prompt for activeX objects.)

Chrome	Will not allow file based access without the command line argument --allow-file-access-from-files. The file appears to be returned as null, hence the error received.	EA Reports fail with null pointer exception
Firefox	I believe it just allows it for files within the same directory or a sub-directory	EA Reports work without warning
Internet Explorer	Prompts with for permission to access an ActiveX object	EA Reports work after allowing access
Opera < (unknown version between 21 & 27)	Access is disabled by default but an option is available to allow it.	EA Reports provide a link to the option that needs to be changed
Opera >= (unknown version between 21 & 27)	Access is disabled by default no investigation yet about how to make it load except running a web server.	Report doesn't load
Edge	Access is disabled by default no investigation yet about how to make it load except running a web server.	Report doesn't load
Anything else	Probably different for each browser	Let me know

See the original post for full explanation of what is going on.

Simon,

Thanks for your answer.
Things have changed apparently. I was aware of the restrictions of running active-X, and set the corresponding IE setting, without the expected result. For IE 11 running on windows 8 your table no longer seems to be actual.
However I was able to get a work around by following the solution of MarcioMonego by creating a virtual folder in IIS.

The reason why IE doesn't prompt for axtive x remains obscure.

I've updated my original table with your observations. I haven't been able to confirm them for myself.

There was an issue with the introduction of IE 11. This was resolved in EA 10.0.1010.
If you are using an erlier version contact support for a simple script to correct this.
