Installing
Simply download a release on to your hard drive.
- Download the current release
- Extract/Copy the files into a folder on disk where you wish to run the file from. We currently recommend a folder on the desktop.
- You should end up with IEDiagnosticsAdapter.exe, Proxy.dll, and Proxy64.dll files inside the folder
- If you plan to use this tool against IE in Enhanced Protected Mode (note, this includes 64 bit machines), and you’re on Windows 8 or later, you should grant the ‘ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES’ group the necessary rights. Note group ‘ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES’ is locale dependent. You can do that by:
- Navigating to the directory containing Proxy64.dll and type
icacls proxy64.dll /grant "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES":(RX) in an Administrator Command Prompt to grant necessary permissions.
- Browsing to the directory containing Proxy64.dll. Right-click this file, click ‘Properties’. Open the ‘security’ tab and click ‘edit’. Add the ‘ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES’ group and allow this group the ‘Read & excute’ and ‘Read’ rights.
