Thank you so much, all who tried to help me with the CEF4 component.
It works since several minutes.
And a thousand thanks to Paweld, who took much time to help me by
personal messages.

The reason why it did not work for so long may be quite interesting as
such: version conflict.
The CEF component needs, that the component and the CEF-files match in
versions.
Sounds easy, just read the numbers and download.

I installed the CEF from the OPM (mistake!).
Somehow this creates a wrong version anywhere internally (not sure
about, I suspect it). Even if I copied files above the OPM-thing and
re-compiled, the hidden version conflict persists. I suspect, that
this led to confusing error-messages, nobody here could solve.

I decided to reset my VM to a snapshot completely without any CEF.
And retried with the links for Paweld.
Then it worked.
These are the steps I will save into my backup:


Code: Text  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i Install the
DCPCrypt from OPMthen leave the OPM and do not go there
again! Download the CEF-files and the Laz-component from here:https://
