Currently running some tests using RFT which requires IE6 as the browser but we have hit a small problem. The WinXP system where everything is running is a German language with a German IE6 (IE6 is installed with SP1 when you install XP SP2 and there is no way you can install a different language XP SP.)
We tried IE7 but the problem is the way that IE7 displays the request for a certificate. IE6 produces a pop-up whereas IE7 is as a webpage and with a German language IE6, the pop-up is in German. The RFT scripts are all geared to US English and so we need to change the browser to be in US English. So far I've tried:
- regional settings changes. The system is currently running as US English with a German keyboard. This makes no difference
- uninstalling IE6 and attempting to re-install with US English version. WinXP doesn't seem to like this. You can uninstall but when you go to install the downloaded IE6 with SP1, WinXP always tells you that a newer version is already installed (I thought I had just uninstalled.) Even going through the various Microsoft KB articles to eliminate this doesn't work, and even deleting a number of registry entries relating to IE6 still doesn't work
Currently at a loss for ideas so if someone has had to do something like this, and tips would be much appreciated.
