3rd Party Web Application won't run in Edge Beta

Question

Having just returned from Ignite, I was excited to learn about the new Edge beta and installed it. We were told that every site would work at least in "internet explorer mode" but one of our 3rd party vendor web-apps does not. It is from BST Global (bstglobal.com/). I runs fine in Internet Explorer but does not load in the new Edge and I don't see any indication that it's trying to run in IE mode (or if that is something I need to force it to do). I'm pretty certain it uses Active X controls. Is there some process I can work through to try and get it to run correctly?

Hi,have you enabled Internet explorer mode in your environment?https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-modeHow do I know if a site is loading in IE mode?https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode#frequently-asked-questions

HotCakeX&nbsp;I did and I can see the policies applied:&nbsp;edge://policy/&nbsp;I thought I set everything correctly but it still doesn't seem to work.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#internetexplorerintegrationlevel1&nbsp;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#internetexplorerintegrationsitelist\cas-dc1\NETLOGON\iesites.xml&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and this inside the XML doc:&nbsp;&lt;site url="http://cas-bst/auroraweb/"&gt;&lt;open-in app="true"&gt;IE11&lt;/open-in&gt;&lt;/site&gt;

BryceContento&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you try using the Enterprise mode site list manager to test it?https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager&nbsp;there needs to be a site-list version parameter in your .xml file too.&nbsp;when I used it, the created xml file looked like this:&nbsp;&lt;site-list version="3"&gt;
  &lt;created-by&gt;
    &lt;tool&gt;EMIESiteListManager&lt;/tool&gt;
    &lt;version&gt;10.0.14357.1004&lt;/version&gt;
    &lt;date-created&gt;09/30/2019 08:56:15&lt;/date-created&gt;
  &lt;/created-by&gt;
  &lt;site url="bing.com"&gt;
    &lt;compat-mode&gt;Default&lt;/compat-mode&gt;
    &lt;open-in&gt;IE11&lt;/open-in&gt;
  &lt;/site&gt;
  &lt;site url="necacom.net"&gt;
    &lt;compat-mode&gt;Default&lt;/compat-mode&gt;
    &lt;open-in&gt;IE11&lt;/open-in&gt;
  &lt;/site&gt;
&lt;/site-list&gt;
