| Issue 34584: | Chrome Frame doesn't work on IE8 64-bit | |
| 5 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
Chrome Version : 4.0.295.0 (Chrome Frame) URLs (if applicable) : http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/ Other browsers tested: IE6 (virtual pc), IE8 32-bit Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 4: Firefox 3.x: IE 6 (vpc): OK IE 7: IE 8: 64-bit: FAIL, 32-bit: OK What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install Google chrome frame from within IE8 64-bit on Windows 7 2. Installation completes successfully. 3. Navigate to cf:http://google.com/ (or some other url using chrome frame) What is the expected result? Desired page is rendered in the chrome frame. What happens instead? Error page: "The address is not valid" After a successful installation on IE8 64-bit (under Win7) chrome frame is still not usable within the 64-bit version of IE. However, without any additional installation step chrome frame appears to work correctly from the 32-bit version of IE8. If tried this on two separate computers (both running Win7 x64) with the same results. If chrome frame is restricted to only the 32-bit version of IE8 this should be mentioned on the install page, currently there is no such indication.

For reference, here's my user-agent strings, for IE8 x64: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0) and IE8 32-bit: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0) chromeframe/4.0 I suppose it would be possible to check these and disable download of Chrome Frame for the 64-bit version.

megazzt is correct. See http://groups.google.com/group/google-chrome-frame/browse_thread/thread/20de4f28fe7521c9#ced6623874d3f187 "Currently, Chrome Frame, does not support 64bit versions of IE. Using 32bit IE on Windows 7 does work though." Can this issue be closed?
