Google Chrome and LAN Sweeper Actions Broken

[quagmoto]

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with Google Chrome and running actions?

12.0.742.112 is the chrome version that didnt work

Version 110 seems to have worked perfectly.

Also this is happening on Windows XP and Windows 7 workstations.

Can you please mail us screenshots of the exact actions that do not work. (support@lansweeper.com)

I see this as well. Using latest version of chrome.

[quagmoto]

Still not working for our Chrome OS.

Very strange. In firefox/IE I have no issues at all.

Couple Questions:

1) Do you have any other test plugins I could use? It appears to be the plugin + newest version of Chrome that fails for us.

2) How should we troubleshoot?

[Hemoco]

We could not reproduce this with the latest version of Chrome.

[quagmoto]

From what I can tell its the plugin.

If you load Google Chrome and get an error from pinging a workstation that is over 9 characters, reload the page and try again. It works 🙂

If possible can you confirm this problem with your test workstations that have over 9 characters in workstation name length?

[quagmoto]

Yet another setback,

It appears that workstation/server names that are 9 or under in character length work. Anything over 9 will result in extra characters attached to the workstation.

cmd.exe /K passes the command, but it appears something is faulty with passing commands with longer workstation names.

[quagmoto]

Looks like the following command line switch on chrome.exe makes things work again:

-allow-all-activex


Lan Sweeper,

Is there another fix coming out for this or is the above command what we need to use from now on?

[quagmoto]

After looking at it more it looks like Chrome passes extra characters to the computer name and thus ultimately cant find the computer.

[quagmoto]

Yes,

It tries to open a dos window and gives a bad parameter text in the dos window.

Windows XP and Windows 7 experience this problem. Only on the latest Chrome version.
