    <p>I am using Selenium to conduct user interface tests with JUnit, in a Maven project. The project is located on a Linux box running IEs4Linux and Wine to allow us to run the tests in IE.</p> <p>Right now I'm using Xming along with Putty to view the virtual browser windows, and I am able to open an IE window with the command "ie6", and I can see it functioning correctly in Xming.</p> <p>When setting up the Selenium RC using the *iexplore browser mode, I get the following in the RC server window:</p> <pre><code>INFO - Command request: getNewBrowserSession[*iexplore, http://asdfasdfasdf.com:7011/, ] on session null INFO - creating new remote session INFO - Allocated session asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfadsf for http://asdfasdfasdf.com:7011/, launching... INFO - Launching Embedded Internet Explorer... INFO - Launching Internet Explorer HTA... </code></pre> <p>Which is normal, except the browser never opens and the tests never run. Using *iexploreproxy or *piiexplore, I get the following error from the RC:</p> <pre><code>13:46:06.957 INFO - Got result: Failed to start new browser session: org.openqa.selenium.server.browserlaunchers.WindowsUtils$WindowsRegistryException: Problem while managing the registry, OS Version '2.6.18-164.11.1.el5', regVersion1 = null on session null </code></pre> <p>Is there any reason Selenium would fail to launch the IE window using *iexplore? I would use *firefox or *chrome but the application I am testing is only compatible with IE. Also note that these test cases run perfectly fine on my local Windows machine.</p> <p>Please let me know if you need more details.</p>
