BHO and internet explorer 11

Question

I saw some code on codeproject like this and this. but both are not compatible with the new security policy of internet explorer add-ons, when i insert then on registry they show up on the IE add-ons list, but with the "incompatible" status. Some can show me a working example for IE11 add-on? or can show me what i need to change? (i already disabled the security mode, but even with that i couldn't make it work) there is something to do with EPM (Enhanced Protected Mode)?

Answer 1

Have you used regsvr32.exe to register your BHO? I have IE 11 and used your second link as a boilerplate project, and I have no problems getting the dll to work in IE (besides having problems with working with the IE api - but that's not relevant).

What I did to get the BHO to work:

• Have IE 11
• Have Visual Studio 2015
• Download the project from codeproject, doubleclick the solution
• Convert it to the new format and download the dependencies (VS asked me to convert it, and I didn't have VisualC++ for Visual Studio or something)
• Build it in release (I haven't actually tried debug)
• Execute regsvr32.exe in an admin command prompt
• Start IE and enable the BHO when IE asks you to

That's basically everything I did, and I didn't get an error on the way.

EDIT: Oops, sorry for necroing this. That was not my intention.
