Connect to browser doesn't work I get this message "error connecting to external browser. Restart Engineering Links".
How to actually restart the e-links?
Found out that Microstation has to be run in administrator mode for this to work but now executing "mdl load webbrows" in key-in Microstation crashes instantly. This feature didn't work correctly in v8i either but now it is even worse.
Hi Oto :
Please share the crash logs. How to quickly find and collect Exception logs and Minidump files
I tried “mdl load webbrows” and “mdl load webbrows google.com” in MicroStation Connect Update 9 and it works."Connect to Browser" also works.
MicroStation Connect Update 9 started in normal mode.
Could be something to do with your access rights.

How to enable web browser logging to WebBrowse.log? This variable should be set MS_WEBBROWSLOGGING?Found one under documents not sure if it is from CE.
WebBrowse.log
On same computer v8i version works but for some reason it opens Iexplorer window.
I was able to replicate the issue with Chrome and Edge.
No issues if I set the default browser to IE.
I would recommend filing a service request as defect 889585 has been created to track this issue.
How to change default browser to IEXPLORE?MS_USEEXTERNALBROWSER variable doesn't seem to change it.
Set to Netscape or IExplore in order to use an external browser. (MS_USEEXTERNALBROWSER)Does it also need to set path to browser(MS_BROWSERPATH)?
I get the same error.
where do I go to change the browser?
Hello David,
Has a resolution to this issue been addressed and when it would be resolved? I am running MicroStation CE U14 and the issue has not been resolved. Currently looking for a work around via VBA and a shell call probably.
Thanx. Mark W.
Looking at the background of this issue it appears Defect 889585 was raised for this which has been approved for a fix in a future release. At the moment there is a target release of update 16. You might like to raise a Service Request to be linked to this. It also seems like this was related to using browsers other that MSIE as the default.

Any update on this?
It appears that Defect # 889585, raised in our older logging system, has migrated to Bug # 660187 in ADO. A fix for this has been approved for a future release but I'm not sure whether this would be for the next Update 17.2 version. You might like to raise a new Service Request which can be linked to this bug for any updates.
For us, we changed our keyins for our tools to send the web address call to the default system browser. Here is an example:$ % https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/askinga
