webex client plugin for internet explorer download

We have setup out group policy to deploy the ActiveX client msi and install silentlly on all machines. NB I do have a webex test site if anyone wishes to try some tests in a controlled environment?Īll of this all very well but it does not solve the issue due to the fact that WebEx update their plugin fairly regularly. At present all i can say to them is 'sometimes it dont work due to java versions' We've had the problem raised via our Webex SP to cisco tac, but in all fairness they'll need a lot of detail from the suspect PC to make any headway. Would people echo my feeling that activex should work as java versions are so fluid? The difficulty in diagnosing is that on a given PC it will suddenly start to work.īTW we have set 'webex' as a trusted download so any user should be able to pull down activex for their session. 'But I dont want it to use Java, where's the ActiveX?' When I had my desktop guys play around with a few PCs that were failing, they established that running the correct java version solved the problem. I am site admin for our site (is anyone else?) and in the settings you can specify ACTIVE X (or not), then Java and then 'temporary folder solution'. If a user runs webex regularly it all works ok but if they go to a meeting room to run their session, chances are it will fail.

Hi, yes, we've been experiencing this problem too for some time. Hope this helps clear things up for anyone else wondering why the prompt is happening and how to get around it. For some reason it didn't recognize Chrome so I was unable to install it with PDQ Deploy or from the downloaded file with only Chrome on the system. msi for Firefox/Chrome only installed when I had Firefox installed. Chrome asked if I trusted the java application but opened afterwards, Firefox just opened it possibly due to already having the permission set for the applet. Firefox/Chrome default to use Java and as long as you have Java installed it should just work. msi for Internet Explorer prior to the meeting and distributing via GPO or another item like PDQ Deploy eliminates the need to use the Java option when using IE. Close the information bar and click the Java link. The page gives you the option to use Java instead by clicking a link. Using Internet Explorer to join a meeting appears to default to the ActiveX option on first attempt. Read through the comments above again and tested some of the different items and here's what I came up with just to summarize:
