Intermittent Error accessing Instance.ActivateExtension

[ratman]

I'm using templates with profile folders and one Chrome extension. Everything works fine in ProjectMaker. However, some days I will get the following error on every project while running in Zennoposter:

Executing action WebBrowserExtensionsof Error accessing Instance.ActivateExtension

If I stop all of the scheduled projects and then restart them, everything works fine for the day.

Any idea on how to fix this?

I'm getting the "Executing action WebBrowserExtensionsof Error accessing Instance.ActivateExtension" message when using profile folders on 7.7.1.0.

I think it might be related to VPS remote connection as mentioned above. My projects ran fine earlier today while the remote connection was active. Then I left for a while, I noticed the remote connection was disconnected and some projects had produced the error message.

Do you use browser extenstions in your project?

Yes.

 

[VladZen]

Yes.

and what cube gives this error?

and what cube gives this error?

The Activate Extension cube as far as I can tell.

I'm still experiencing this. I get the error message whenever I lose my remote desktop access. Then after I restore the connection, everything works fine again. Any updates on this bug?

remote desktop access can't be the reason of this error.
what exact extension are you using and getting this error?

 

[ratman]

I'm using the Activate Extension when getting this error. Whenever I lose my remote desktop connection, I get the error. When my remote desktop connection is active, I never get the error.

For example, before I go to sleep at night, the connection is active and there are no errors. Then when I wake up in the morning if the connection drops, all of my projects that use that extension have errors.

Someone else in another thread here mentioned the same problem.

Here's another example. I had to reboot my computer and lost the remote desktop connection. I just noticed it had dropped and checked my projects. The ones that ran while I was disconnected have this error:

Type Time Message
16:30:52 Executing action WebBrowserExtensionsof Error accessing Instance.ActivateExtension

The only time I get this message is when my remote desktop connection drops. And I get the message every time it drops and then a project runs.

 

[VladZen]

I'll try to reproduce it with remove desktop

 

[VladZen]

I think we need some more details about it...
Could you please make diagnostic report when error occurs ()
also please attach the screenshot of the program when you got the error.

I've the same error on 7.7.1.0 but I think it is not problem with remote desktop connection because I work on my home computer with power settings never sleep but if I am on computer and work with email etc then template works with chrome plugin perfect few hours and more but when I am away from computer for example 1 hour then I see the same bug. Another templates on the same computer without chrome plugins works still perfect. Strange problem...someone resolve this issue? Problem is only when I dont touch keyboard and mouse more than ~30 minut

I also found this problem.
If I disconnect the remote desktop, zennoposter will not continue to run. Remote desktop works fine if left open.
What's causing this problem?

Some process can't be running without open connection.
We would recommend to run ZennoPoster without remote connection (you can probably do it from windows scheduler)
and then connect when zennoposter is already running

Do you have a detailed tutorial. Let me refer.
Because it is a leased dedicated server, it must be connected through a remote desktop.
The system version I use is the win 2019 server version.

There is no detailed tutorial.
You should run ZennoPoster.exe somehow not via remote connection.
I suppose it is possible by means of Windows task scheduler:

Thank you for your reply.
I am referencing and using this scheme. Hope it works.
