This was a helpful post. The icon for compatibility mode is very subtle, and average users won't dig into the menu until told, or if they know what they are looking for.
With ie8 I never got the prompt to open or save launch.rtc... I found the KB article below and tried to use method #3 but the RTC extension is already associated with the specified program. (As best I can tell, the path is different for Win7 than Vista and KB does not have steps for Win7. Any suggestions?
Nothing happens after I click on Open Launch.rtc - I cannot join the Meeting with IE 9
Thanks for this. Will have to try this workaround. Earlier trying to join the meet used to crash IE9 beta.
nice post it will help us thanks guys!!!
@ Amit make sure that you installed the Live Meeting 2007 client if not uninstall it,
Compatibility mode resolved the issue for me. Thanks for the tip! FWIW, previously I could just click the Install, Accept, and Join button, ignore the setup.exe download, and then click the Join Meeting button to get the launch.rtc/launch.eas file. So, it was more of a nuisance than a showstopper. Ah, the joys of beta testing!
this post is really great. i have to admit office life is being made easy by the <a href="http://gminutes.com">meeting minutes</a> . now people can have meetings away from the office. easy steps to follow to
I had to manually add livemeeting.com to the compatability view settingsin IE9 RTM, but would never have got there without your help. Thanks!
Hi, I was trying to access Live Meeting 2007 (also a MS oroduct) with IE9 beta, but I was not successfull. I have got only a possibility to SAVE (not OPEN) some link, beginning with join.rct ...... . When I try to save it (kclicking on the button), nothing happens!. If I have tried to go to the root of our company's meeting place (www.livemeeting.com/cc/<company-name>) I'm again presented to only SAVE the file "join" (588 bytes) but that is not possible, either nothing happens, like I did not click on the save button or te download fails (couldn't be downloaded).
The Compatibility View BUTTON on the address bar is NOT PRESENT!!! so I cannot even try your suggestion.
The same situation is with IE9 RTM version. Completely the same. Nothing has changes. MS cannot do heir produts compatible among them :)) what a bad joke on account of the paying users :((((
I'm using Windows 7 (6.1.7600, 32b), Oifice 2010 (14.0.5128.5000 32b).
Any help from Microsoft how to get LiveMeeting be working with IE9 (both products of the SAME company?).
Can someone explain to me how is it possible that IE9 is being release to manufacturers in a version that is not working with other products?
Thanks
Jan
I just downloaded IE 9 Beta and I have a different LiveMeeting issue.
It said it connected and the window opened, but there was nothing in it. The title bar indicated connection. Stranger yet, I was unable to quit the window. It just "pinged" at me when I clicked on the X or used the close from the task bar.
Is there something else that I need to do to make it work? (alex.johnson@invensys.com)
This didn't work. I do not see the "OPEN" option.
