OpenBrowser activity fails to open IE in REF

Help
1

Hi,

I am using the “Open Browser” activity to open an IE window and then navigate to “http://google.com”.

This piece works perfectly if I start a New Project and choose “Process”, but fails if I use “Robotic Enterprise Framework”.

Exact failure point:

  1. IE browser opens
  2. Navigation to “http://google.com” fails and throws exception (below)

Error:
RemoteException wrapping UiPath.Core.BrowserOperationException: Cannot communicate with Internet Explorer browser. —> RemoteException wrapping System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Cannot communicate with Internet Explorer browser.

UiBrowserFlags flag)

at System.Activities.Runtime.BookmarkCallbackWrapper.Invoke(NativeActivityContext context,
Bookmark bookmark,
Object value)

UiPath version: 2019.9.2 Community Edition
IE Version: 11.740.17763.0; Update version: (KB4522007)
Windows version: 10

Already tried:

  1. Add URL to “Trusted Sites” list
  2. “InPrivate”
  3. regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\oleacc.dll
  4. regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\oleaut32.dll
  5. regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\oleacc.dll
  6. regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\oleaut32.dll
  7. “Start with …” combinations

Thank you.
