Login issue with IE64bit under Win7

[jbaur]

Hi all,

has anybody seen this issue before:

PDMLink-login with IE32bit works

PDMLink-login with IE64bit fails because input fields are missing.

Sorry, attachment is in German but I think you can see missing input fields for user and password.

Thanks, Jochen

There are a million reasons not to use IE 64 bit and none of them relate to Windchill. One of those reasons could be why you are seeing this issue.

Both versions of Internet Explorer are included to increase compatibility with existing programs and Web sites. The 32-bit version of Internet Explorer can host only native 32-bit ActiveX controls and other 32-bit Web page objects. The 64-bit version of Internet Explorer can host only native 64-bit ActiveX controls and other 64-bit Web page objects.

This article describes the differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer that are included in the x64-based versions of Windows."
