Hi,

had the same issue. Currently checked last Windows Updates and removed Internet Explorer 11. Eclipse BIRT designer preview works fine now.

Kind regards,

Daniel

On Windows 7 I had to remove IE11 and then then the IE11 update around 12/10/13 (spefically says for Internet Explorer) also before the birt parameter page returned. To uninstall IE11, you must use "Turn Windows Features on and off" under "Uninstall a program"

I still can't get the dialog to work under Windows 8.1

Hope that helps.

Solution for workaround to use internal browser with IE 11:

1. Open eclipse.ini File (same path as eclipse.exe)

2. Insert those 2 lines at the end of the script:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=ie,mozilla
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=7000

Restart Eclipse BIRT Designer. Then it should be possible to use the internal web browser with IE 11

So glad I found this post. I'm running BIRT 4.2 and this problem coincides with upgrading my Office license.
I tried adding the suggested parameters to the eclipse.ini file but it didn't have any effect (even after a restart).
Uninstalling IE11 has resolved the problem and my parameter dialog box now displays again Razz

On windows 7.
Removing IE 11 did not work for me.
Adding the lines suggested by Bruno Gonçalves to eclipse.ini did the trick.
Thanks so much!

I was getting the same error condition (Windows 7; IE 11) running the RCP BIRT 3.7.2 and there was no eclipse.ini. I put Bruno's suggested code in the BIRT.ini file and that solved the problem for me.

Thanks Bruno.
