Error: Getting App Handle disabling Second Instance

[USNA88]

I'm getting an error when I try to launch PWB (CEF) in "secure mode." All I have to do to induce the error is simply set SecureMode=True. No other configuration changes, although I'll add the error occurs with my completely configured PWB.INI file as well. Anyway, this is the error message:

Error: Getting App Handle disabling Second Instance

The error occurs in a pop-up that I can close and my system returns to normal. If I set SecureMode=False, PWB will start up just fine ... just not in the secure mode I need. *smile*

I'm running Windows 10 (Enterprise), if that matters.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

When running PWB in secure mode PWB starts a second instance of itself in an alternate Windows Desktop.

To prevent the second instance error set the following in your PWB INI file.

[Security]
DisableSecondInstance=False

I'm also receiving this, Win7, PWB v3.04.4 basic (CEF).

Only config I have on is SecureMode=True

I have set the following as suggested;

[Security]
DisableSecondInstance=False

[Scott]

Did the setting fix the issue for you?

In the next version of PWB setting secure mode will turn off the second instance by default.

No, unfortunately it didn't fix it for me. Issue still here.

Sorry, that should have been the following setting.

[Security]
DisableSecondInstance=False

It has been corrected in the previous posts.

Dear Scott,

I am trying to "emulate" the DesktopMode=TRUE setting used in the PWB v. 2.x environment using the SecureMode=True setting in PWB v. 3.x in Windows 7/IE11 and I get the same error user USNA88 mentioned, even after setting DisableSecondInstance=False. Exactly the same behaviour user johnnys experienced. This occurs under Windows 7 Enterprise and under Windows Thin PC using the Original PWB.INI with only the SecureMode and DisableSecondInstance settings adapted.

What am I / are we missing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you move the setting from the [Browser] section to the [Security] section in the INI file?

[Security]
DisableSecondInstance=False
