ScriptX and IE8

ScriptX has long provided control over printing in Internet Explorer, and this continues with Internet Explorer 8. With each major release of Internet Explorer there has been a new - and always fully backwards-compatible - release of ScriptX in order to maintain compatibility and to provide additional feaures.

This release is no different - ScriptX v6.5 or later is required when working with IE8 on Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, so both publishers - licensed, and free -  and individual users will have to update.

ScriptX users' update

Please go to the user upgrade to current version page.

Publishers' update

For your ScriptX-enabled content to work with IE8 it is mandatory that - if you are working with any earlier build of ScriptX to v6.5 - you now update to the latest version (7,6,0,10 ) of the ScriptX binaries.

Note: ScriptX v6.4 and later no longer support Windows 9x/NT. For maintenance support of these operating systems, please see ScriptX Win9x/NT Maintainance Mode Binaries.

We strongly recommend you download the latest ScriptX Client Resource kit to obtain the latest binaries and deployment instructions. Licensees should log on to the My MeadCo portal to obtain the Licensee Resource Kit.

For convenience, the important bits are available below.
