I think KSA embassy tired finding errors in passport data. But they do it like egoist with low tech solutions. Many mistakes, strange logic.2 day i have tryed to get it work!!!

NO instruction! No any info! No support! Nо clean uninstall!!!

Tested on winxp sp3 + IE8, win7 64 + IE11.

Clean your machine

First of all clean your machine from 3M drivers and PassportReader ActiveX component.

• Unstall all 3M drivers and software from control panel
• Download https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/References/PassportReaderSetup.CAB#version=1,2,0,0 and unpack it. Run PassportReaderInstaller.msi and do uninstall.
• Deleted C:\Documents and Settings\%YOUR PROFILE%\Application Data\_PassReaderControlSetting.dat This file  do not uninstall from msi.

How install AT9000MK2 for old haj portal

1. Download   AT9000MK2 SDK
   http://www.3m.com/ssdcp/3M%20Page%20Readers/Standard/3M%20Page%20Reader%20SDK%203.3.3.10%20Setup.exe


2. Install it to C:\. DONT install  in Program Files.
3. Оpen IE and allow in setting  all dangerous activeX activity. Restart IE.
4. Open 3M Reader Expo now with MRZ setting.Read passport. Make sure it works. Do nоt eject passport from scanner. Close Reader Expo.
5. Open https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/Hajj/Login and login.
   And go to https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/Hajj/addHajjVisa . Wait background installation!
6. PassportReader ActiveX  install, didnt find 3M in program files and ask you WHERE 3M folder? Choose C:/3M
7. Now you will see menu with scanners. Choose AT9000MK2. Now "_PassReaderControlSetting.dat" will be created. You will need to delete it if you want to choose another scanner.
8. https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/Hajj/addHajjVisa connect to your AT9000MK2 1s at times. If no alert "undefind" activeX component install correctly and should work with AT9000MK2

Troubles

Q: I still see "undefined" alert.
A: Are you runing IE under  administrative rights and  allow all dangerous activeX activity?
ActiveX component cant find scanner or have no access.

Q: I dint see "undefined" alert but scanner is not work.
A:You need to see MMMReader.log file  in 3M folder.If you see errors

- ERROR - [ThreadID: 8240] - .\OttawaReader.cpp(1824) : OttawaReader::DoTakeSnapshotOttawa() - Camera driver returned an error code - 5 ERROR - [ThreadID: 8240] - .\ReaderDll.cpp(545) : TakeDocDetectImage() - [caught]: Camera driver returned an error code - 5 WARNING - [ThreadID: 8240] - .\ReaderThread.cpp(1814) : ReaderThread::ErrorCallback() - - Setting reader to errored state. 

It mean PassportReader ActiveX component cant work with current 3M driver.
Do you install latest driver version in C:\3M?
Reinstall all.
