Can you share how you did that here,

Internet Explorer 9 beta: The beauty of the web

We're not so sure about that.

I am.

If I open that window in IE 9 32 bit and 64 bit they both say the same thing. They both say Internet Explorer is the default web browser. The only difference is in IE 9 64 bit it states that "Internet Explorer (64 bit) cannot be the default browser". Open IE 9 32 bit and have a look, they both can't be the default browser? As a test close IE and click the link to this post in the e-mail notification you get and tell me which version of IE 9 opens.

With IE, only the 32 bit version will be set as default. Currently, from a link click when no browser is running, the 32 bit version will open.

That's what I like about FF x64. It can be made to be the default and will open in such a scenario as I (and Alphanumeric) just presented.

As of this moment, one cannot make IE9 x64 the default browser. That may change with the final release once Flash gets it's square preview out of beta.

I wonder if the 64bit version has the same security problem as the 32bit version. After they fix the 32bit bit version in a couple weeks I wonder if they will have a new 64bit version?

Adobe - Security Advisories: APSA10-03 - Security Advisory for Flash Player

Jim

64 bit might be ok, because the advisory mentions 10.1.xxxx versions, and the 64 bit flash is 10.2.xxxx. I didn't see any 10.2 versions mentioned in the advisory.

Ya, thats what I'm thinking. I was hoping somebody might have found a way around that restriction though. There is no 64 bit version of Silverlight either, not that it matters a whole lot, but Microsoft might make us wait for that before unlocking IE 9 64 for full time use.

No but there is a 32 bit version of Adobe square flash that you can use with IE 9 32 bit. Adobe Labs - Downloads: Flash Player "Square" Preview Release
