When I try simple code like

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("http://sourceforge.net", 0, 0)

It fails to hide. Any ideas?

Looks fine to me on IE9, Win7, Au3 3.3.8.1 x64/x86.

You have to provide more details so other people can reproduce it.

AdmiralAlkex,

Thats the problem, you can see it :-) With the options that I'm using it should be hidden :-)

No I can't. It is hidden. Try restarting your PC.

That's a different problem than the original problem.

I ran your code on my system, Win 7 x64 and IE 8 (no access to IE9 here) and it works without a problem, the IE window is hidden.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Thanks for your reply BrewManNH. The system I'm using is Windows 7 x86 and I'm going to try uninstalling IE9 and try IE8. I tried the same code on my other desktop that has IE9 and WIndows 7 x64 and it did the same thing.

Any ideas about the error in the console?

Which issue? It isn't hidden or the Wend error message?

The Wend seems to be the issue causing it not to hide for me. The IE.au3 file has not been touched by me.

I haven't tried Beta, but I did reinstall AutoIT on my desktop system and it works fine with IE9. I'm going to see if reinstalling on my laptop will resolve the issue for me.

I just reinstalled AutoIT and installed the full version of SciTE. I tried to run the file again and it still fails.

I think it's related to a Trak issue that's been reported previously, not sure if there's a work-around yet.

I just tried AutoIT beta and 1/2 of it works. When I launch the code it starts 3 iexplore.exe processes and shows the webpage.

I changed the code to:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("www.google.com", 0, 0)
Sleep(5000)
_IEQuit($oIE)

I noticed that the _IEQuit never kills the process. If I close the process via task manager when I open IE I get - "Your last browsing session closed unexpectedly"

I found out that it's that damn UAC that's causing an issue here.
