I'm using a windows 7 (32 bit) box with IE8 and i'm having issues installing GWT Developer plugin For IE.

I get the following error message: "Installer download failed. Error code = 0x80072efe "

the installer stays stuck at the "downloading plugin" stage.

i've made sure my windows 7 firewall is off and also turned off my antivirus program but still same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Most users trying to install the GWT devmode plugin for IE8 on Windows 7 (Vista) 32-bit were able to use the following script from a command line (replace "Foo" with your Windows User Name):

regsvr32.exe "C:\Users\Foo\AppData\Local\Google\Google Web Toolkit\Developer Plugin\IE\oophm.dll"

Also, make sure you are downloading the installer from the browser prompt to your desktop and installing from your desktop. Your error is from an earlier installer, which I think conflicts with your version of GWT.

Users trying to install for IE9 will not be able to install unless they add a specification to the doctype to force IE9 to render as IE8, per this post from Google...

Maybe it works if you do an offline installation using the MSI from here: http://ui-programming.blogspot.com/2009/12/update-your-application-to-gwt-20.html
