Google Earth Map Plugin not works in desktop application

I developed a web page, which displays a google earth map and hosted in an iis server. Now, I want to invoke that page in a browser control through a vb.net desktop application. When i run the application, the browser control shows 'Your browser does not support the Google Earth Plugin'. But, at the same time, the web page is getting displayed in the chrome browser without any error in the client systems. Also, the desktop application works properly in the server system.

Kindly suggest what could be the reason for the plugin not works in desktop application.

Windows XP & 7 Google Chrome Version 34.0.1847.137 m

Thanks Sivakumar

Solution

  • It could be that the webbrowser control is using the 64bit version of Internet Explorer, hence the GEPlugin wont work.

    To fix this simply compile your vb.net desktop application to target 'x86' rather than 'anyCpu'.
