Google Default Search Tweak Doesn't Work

[compstuff]

I took a fully updated WIN7x64 image that has IE11 integrated and then ran WTK v25 to try and change the default search provider to Google. It adds the it but leaves Bing as the default.

I'ev made some changes which has stopped IE11 from saying it's corrupted. However I don't know how to stop it from saying that an unknown program is trying to change the search and asks if agree or not.

I had tried XML before with no luck but I never used the "ScopeKey" value. I will wait till Lego makes his next release since he thinks he solved it which is amazing since I spent countless hrs trying to get this ti work  :prop:

Hmmm I just finished a test and but I didn't get that... in fact I still got the same thing I posted here: http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/12637-google-default-search-tweak-doesnt-work/?p=111360

 

It does still say that something 'unknown' is trying to change your default search provider when you first load up IE. You just click 'Change'. It's one of the yellow bar things at the bottom so it isn't or popup or anything.

I will have a look at the issue now. I've removed the fix from the changelog.

[compstuff]

FYI: I have tried soo many thing for things and I really can't get it but you have a LOT more skills than I do so hopefully MS hasn't made this impossible.

Everything worked fine for me using a fresh image. I didn't even get the bar saying something is trying to change it

[compstuff]

And your image had IE 11 integrated?

Oh crap. It didn't lmao. What an idiot.....

[compstuff]

Really made me smile... its not just me LOL

Oh crap. It didn't lmao. What an idiot.....

With the latest version it don't get a corrupt message but for some reason it's not default. Are you able to test and confirm please?

[compstuff]

I will test in about an hr when I get back home

With the latest version it don't get a corrupt message but for some reason it's not default. Are you able to test and confirm please?

Perhaps, I'll save you an hour......it still doesn't work with WinToolkit_1.5.1.6

[Legolash2o]

Test 7 released. If this doesn't work then not sure what to do.

[dareckibmw]

I'm on it.

[Legolash2o]

Thank you

[dareckibmw]

With Test 7 - same as above.

[Legolash2o]

2 questions:

 

1. Does it still say it's corrupted?
2. So it's not default?

Thanks.

[dareckibmw]

Nothing was/is corrupted.....it just not default search engine. I can set it manually and live with that....I don't use IE anyway

 

Thanks Lego

I know I am bringing up an old thread but I had decided to give this a shot again and found the following thread which explains the actual change in behavior and why we were all unsuccessful at using our original methods to manage this. Needless to say this is NOT a WTK bug  :doh:
