It does however work to get spice console in the admin portal, strangely enough, but we won´t allow our customers using the admin portal just to get access to their consoles. I would like to have it work with Windows/IE in Userportal as well.

as I already stated, at %TEMP%\spicex.log . Please don't forget to set SPICEX_DEBUG_LEVEL=0 environment variable, without it, the log won't be much useful.
