Doesn't work when edge is fully uninstalled #26
Comments
Are you using Service Mode or Active Mode. I can see this happening for Service Mode, but Active Mode should still work. |
I tried both with the same result. |
I'll look into this for 0.5.0.0. Will probably just need to drop in a placeholder .exe |
Understood |
If you put any exe in |
Same result. |
Hi, I have uninstalled edge (chromium) and edge legacy using NTlite, then there is nomore microsoft-edge protocol handler. So your apps will not work. thank you. |
Unfortunately, it looks like there's some sort of protections in place that I haven't figured out yet. If Edge isn't installed, it knows better than to trust |
Would it be possible to "install" some sort of stub and make windows happy? Ie force it to think edge is indeed installed? |
Currently Analyzing the changes between an edge install and one missing. Hopefully it's just a few registry values I have to readd, but we'll see. |
I've extracted the following registry changes, but it wasn't let me import them directly on my end. This is assuming, of course, that there's not additional checks in place. Edited: Ruled out and trimmed off about 100KB |
Due to release deadline. I'm pushing back my investigation to, at least, 0.6. |
Clearing Milestone until I can investigate the issue and have a rough solution that can be incorporated. |
@androidacybot I've heard reports this is changed in the latest builds? Can you verify at all? |
@rcmaehl no change. Still blank edge window flashes twice, then complains it can't open edge. |
A rather suboptimal but temporary workaround is to just leave edge in-place. I don't like having extra apps I don't use installed but it works. |
Whoops, meant to actually close the issue. What I get for using mobile github I guess lol |
I have Edge uninstalled completely (don't remember how I made it but it was using CMD only) and the redirect doesn't work. Please help me understand what to do. Why is this issue closed? |
Use the removal script linked in the README instead of manually removing |
@rcmaehl, can you please adjust your solution's uninstall in order to NOT remove :remove
del /f /q "%ProgramData%\ChrEdgeFkOff.*" "%MSEPath%chredge.exe" >nul 2>nul
rem del /f /q "%ProgramData%\ie_to_edge_stub.exe"
It reduces the need to reinstall Edge just for the stub and then remove it again. In other news I've adjusted ChrEdgeFkOff to play nicer with your solution:
|
I'm assuming you mean MSEdgeRedirect/MSEdgeRedirect_Wrapper.au3 Line 103 in 135eb7b
Okay, I can remove that. |
Not the registry, the actual file in ProgramData. |
WHOOPS. That should be fixed now. |
Thank you! I haven't looked at your code, but it seems you only check for IFEO ie_to_edge_stub.exe presence. reg add "HKCR\microsoft-edge" /f /ve /d URL:microsoft-edge >nul
reg add "HKCR\microsoft-edge" /f /v "URL Protocol" /d "" >nul
reg add "HKCR\microsoft-edge" /f /v "NoOpenWith" /d "" >nul
reg add "HKCR\microsoft-edge\shell\open\command" /f /ve /d "\"%ProgramData%\ie_to_edge_stub.exe\" %%1" >nul
reg add "HKCR\MSEdgeHTM" /f /v "NoOpenWith" /d "" >nul
reg add "HKCR\MSEdgeHTM\shell\open\command" /f /ve /d "\"%ProgramData%\ie_to_edge_stub.exe\" %%1" >nul
reg add "%IFEO%\ie_to_edge_stub.exe" /f /v UseFilter /d 1 /t reg_dword >nul >nul
reg add "%IFEO%\ie_to_edge_stub.exe\0" /f /v FilterFullPath /d "%ProgramData%\ie_to_edge_stub.exe" >nul
reg add "%IFEO%\ie_to_edge_stub.exe\0" /f /v Debugger /d "%ProgramFiles%\MSEdgeRedirect\MSEdgeRedirect.exe" >nul
reg add "%IFEO%\msedge.exe" /f /v UseFilter /d 1 /t reg_dword >nul
reg add "%IFEO%\msedge.exe\0" /f /v FilterFullPath /d "%MSE%" >nul
reg add "%IFEO%\msedge.exe\0" /f /v Debugger /d "%ProgramFiles%\MSEdgeRedirect\MSEdgeRedirect.exe" >nul |
I'll get that implemented. Thank you. |
Hello, I removed Edge using AveYo's Edge Remover, but when installing MSER, I can't choose "Removed via AveYo's method", so I choosed Edge Stable. After that, redirecting works, but when I use internet search in start menu, it searches in bing (i chose google). |
Please try the latest test build: https://nightly.link/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect/workflows/MSER/0.8.0.0-dev/mser.zip |
I tried, no luck. Also, tried couple times reinstalling edge and deleting again. Didn't help. |
I'll get this fixed for the 0.7.3.0 release |
Please try the new test build and let me know if that improves things: https://nightly.link/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect/workflows/MSER/0.8.0.0-dev/mser.zip |
@rcmaehl No, it does not. But, I actually understood the reason why it didn't work. I have Windows installed on A: drive, but you hardcoded it (at least i guess) to C: drive. Sorry if I made you make more work 😥 |
I knew this would eventually come for me. Should be a mostly easy fix at least. Just tedious. |
I've corrected that for the latest test build. Same URL as always: https://nightly.link/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect/workflows/MSER/0.8.0.0-dev/mser.zip |
ye, it works now! |
|
That blank window is actually a UWP window that spawns because Windows tries to open Edge Legacy (which is the fallback browser for when Chromium Edge is removed), but because the binaries for Edge Legacy have been removed in Windows 11 and recent Windows 10 versions, it just opens a blank window then shows an error. I don't know if you already knew this of it this is in any way helpful, but I thought it was worth mentioning. |
Good to know. Thank you |
@rcmaehl Sorry to comment on a closed issue, but I still cannot make it work. If I run (I'm using v0.8.0.0) |
@palexdev You can try reinstalling Edge then just using MSEdgeRedirect as usual |

I've uninstalled Edge completely using the setup.exe in the application folder. Instead of opening a window, it just shows a white window two or three times and stops.
