Is there a working fork of this repo?

[tamsky]

It would appear this repo is idle or abandoned.
If you know of a working version/fork of this repo please point it out to everyone.

Currently this script doesn't work, and none of the forks work either.

I see more than a small amount of refactoring ahead to make the current download URLs (via https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/)::

# IE8 on win7
# https://az792536.vo.msecnd.net/vms/VMBuild_20150916/VirtualBox/IE8/IE8.Win7.VirtualBox.zip
# IE9 on win7
# https://az792536.vo.msecnd.net/vms/VMBuild_20180306/VirtualBox/IE9/IE9.Win7.VirtualBox.zip
# IE10 on win7
# https://az792536.vo.msecnd.net/vms/VMBuild_20150916/VirtualBox/IE10/IE10.Win7.VirtualBox.zip
# IE11 on win7

work with the existing download code

    if [ "${os}" == "Win10" ]
    then
        url="https://az792536.vo.msecnd.net/vms/VMBuild_20171019/VirtualBox/MSEdge/MSEdge.Win10.
VirtualBox.zip"
    else
        url="https://az412801.vo.msecnd.net/vhd/VMBuild_20141027/VirtualBox/IE${version}/Windows
/IE${version}.${os}.For.Windows.VirtualBox.zip"
    fi

At which point, I'm forced to wonder if now isn't a good time to refactor the whole script.

Indeed, broken here when trying to run, was working until quite recently, but MS seems to have moved the download locations, I get this response when trying to run:

Downloading OVA ZIP from https://az412801.vo.msecnd.net/vhd/IEKitV1_Final/VirtualBox/OSX/IE9_Win7.zip to IE9_Win7.zip (attempt 1 of 3) % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 223 100 223 0 0 369 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 369 MD5 check failed for IE9_Win7.zip (wanted 58d201fe7dc7e890ad645412264f2a2c, got 5d276fd55a8f7154421d4ce4721187bf)

Happens for all images/ISOs.

Thanks for the work to date, I use this a LOT for cross-browser stuff on my Mac.

Peter.

If I get time I will try and fork...

[heddn]

randall-k/ievms seems to work fine for EDGE

[randall-k]

Yeah, I've only had time to fix it for EDGE, haven't had time to do the others yet but I hope to do at least IE 11 as well.

[Steague]

@randall-k please just for IE11! I beg of thee!

I forked this here and fixed the download links and md5 information. All of the VM installs should work.

I also refactored a separate version of the script that uses Node to hit Microsoft's API to grab both the most current download link and MD5. Hopefully that version will be a little more futureproof, as the normal version has everything hard-coded (which is why this repo hasn't been working).

I've only tested it on my Macbook, but theoretically it should work on anything the original script would have worked on.

[philfreo]

@amichaelparker Thanks for this! Is this a fork you intend to maintain? If so, since this project / @xdissent seems like it's not going to be updated, perhaps you want to allow Issues on your fork? It'd be nice if the community focused on a single fork. It'd also be nice to get your version setup with brew etc.

[PeterBowater]

Quite, same problem recently. Weirdly though, something seems to have nixed doing a manual installation of W10 in my Mac (in Virtualbox) as well...
