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

If you want to call a PDF and a certain chapter, it is like this:
$ % somewebpage/PDF_Document.pdf

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Microstation CE Update 9. Default browser is Firefox.

Exception logs uploaded to secure upload. Seems in CE edition these logs contain too much personal data.

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.

Regards,
Leonard Jones.

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.
