"Internet Explorer Script Error ... error has occurred on the script of this page ...CMainWnd is undefined" resolved by disabling script debugging

Troubleshooting


Problem

User runs (any) standard. The report tries to render (using the default 'html' format). An error appears.

Symptom

Internet Explorer Script Error
An error has occurred on the script of this page

Line: 32
Char: 7
Error: CMainWnd is undefined
Code: 0
URL: http:// "servername" /cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi

Resolving The Problem

Disable the Script Debugging for Internet Explorer.

Steps:
If only one user receives this problem/error, then the easiest solution is for them to:
1. Launch Microsoft Internet Explorer
2. Click "Tools - Internet Options"
3. Click "Advanced"
4. Scroll down to 'Browsing'
5. Tick the box 'Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)'


6. If the above does not solve the problem, try ticking the box 'Disable script debugging (Other)'

TIP: If deploying the Controller client via Citrix, it may be easier to implement the above change via a Microsoft Active Directory GPO policy (instead of manually).
