How do I get the Cube browser app to open in Edge?

I'm having trouble getting the Cube browser app to work in Edge with IE compatibility mode.

In the Edge settings, I've added the URL to open Cube to the "Internet Explorer mode" pages. In my Internet options, I've also made sure the URL is considered a trusted site and that XAML browser applications are enabled. However, when I go to the URL, Edge blocks the download. If I select to keep the download anyway and open it, I get this error:


Does anyone have any tips on how I could get this to work?

Tried the same, as I also like to rely on the browser option with saved links to quickly jump from one DMA to another

Couldn’t manage to unlock Edge, but Chrome works as described here:

Hi Marieke,

Our applicaton uses the xbap format. This is not supported in the Edge browser, that's why the page will not load here.

The xbap format is a Microsoft format specially created for Internet Explorer.

The best solution would be to use another browser (as suggested by Alberto) or use the standalone application (like Michiel told).

It should be possible to run XBAP format in Edge with IE compatibility mode (see https://community.dataminer.services/documentation/internet-explorer-support/). However, it is possible that our company policy is interfering with my personal settings. I’ll investigate this further with Ive later this week.

Alberto De Luca [DevOps Enabler] commented 20th June 2022

That’s likely, Marieke – at least it’s what happened in my case.
Trusted sites or other browser side settings may also be needed in the browser to allow the XBAP application – and for completeness, the Skyline certificates – these are available at [Dataminer IP]/tools

At a very high level of description, both Chrome & Edge need to load the XBAP application by calling Internet Explorer internally.

In Edge, you can do this with the IE compatibility mode.
In Chrome, you can add the an extension called “IE tab” (that’s my favourite option, until it works (: …as IE days are over, so the official desktop application is the only one guaranteed to be future-proof – though, I must say, going back and forth through the desktop app, e.g. to disconnect from one server and connect to another could be easier with the browser solutions, especially when working with 2 or more clusters with many DMAs in each)
