Thread:Extension talk:WYSIWYG/Need help with configuration/reply (3)

I don't have setup with MW-1.17.x but you can try to debug if you are getting any JavaScript errors which may be preventing the further loading of WYSIWYG editor. You can use URL parameter debug=true to load all script and style files as normal ( as they get loaded as merged & minified by MW Resource loader ) and then you may use the break points to enhance your debugging. You may need to clear your browser cache while debugging.

Let me know if you need any help.
