Internet Explorer 9 is the minimum IE version required from 1.6.0 onwards.

You then need to make the following registry patch:

So for example if you have IE9 installed on the PC and want Xibo to use that, you'd add the following key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

XiboClient.exe = (DWORD) 00009000

You could instead put that key in the HKCU hive instead if you wanted to control this per user.

On a 64 bit workstation, you'll need to add this key in the 32 bit part of the registry instead:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

If you have a newer version if IE installed, then change 00009000 to the appropriate number for that version (eg 11000 for Internet Explorer 11)
