I've gotten many > complaints about it not working when it needs to use a proxy to get to > the Internet. Is there a specific firewall that we are having problems with? I have only run setup.exe from behind a firewall that is why I coded it to use wininet. That way it would use the same mechanism IE does to go through the firewall. I did this for somewhat selfish reasons, our #(*&^ proxy at work ONLY works with IE and wininet compatible software. This leads me to a possible source of difficulty I hadn't considered. If the user does not have IE 4 or higher properly configured to access the Internet through their firewall, setup will not be able to use the predefined information in wininet to download the source. I should have realized this earlier and for that I apologize. Now to come up with a working solution for this situation. Hmmm. I will have to look into this. BTW, the firewalls I am going through are MS-Proxy Server and the ipchains based Edge Fireplug. ------_=_NextPart_000_01BFB071.3018511A Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 eJ8+IhQRAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQSAAQAzAAAAUkU6IFtncmVlbmJhdW1AdGkuY29tOiBjeWd3aW4g c2V0dXAgYW5kIGZpcmV3YWxsc10AYRIBCYABACEAAAAxOEZCNUNGMzIwNTY1RDRCODM3RjNCNjc2 QkFEMUQyOABEBwEggAMADgAAANAHBAAbAAwAMwARAAQASgEBBYADAA4AAADQBwQAGwAMADMAIQAE AFoBAQ2ABAACAAAAAgACAAEDkAYAnAgAACsAAAALAAIAAQAAAAMALgAAAAAAQAA5ABDQ1TlxsL8B HgBwAAEAAAAvAAAAW2dyZWVuYmF1bUB0aS5jb206IGN5Z3dpbiBzZXR1cCBhbmQgZmlyZXdhbGxz XQAAAgFxAAEAAAAbAAAAAb+v5nAL0Ms++xqJEdScNgBgCMPwZwAisWjgAAIBCRABAAAArgMAAKoD AAB4BQAATFpGdf3rV7UDAAoAcmNwZzEyNeIyA0N0ZXgFQQEDAff/CoACpAPkBxMCgA/zAFAEVj8I VQeyESUOUQMBAgBjaOEKwHNldDIGAAbDESX2MwRGE7cwEiwRMwjvCfe2OxgfDjA1ESIMYGMAUDML CQFkMzYWUAumID6EIEYDYTogREodYGZlF7EIkCBbAMADEHRgbzpkakABAB3DLnkFoG1dCqIKhAqA HPBDdQORcwNwZQIgHgAOsHMjBUAUEXVwIANSIGJEZWgLgGQgYSHQaQUYIHcHQGw/ICBJZCd2HgBn bwJACfAg3QOBeR/2H1ELU3QEIAGgKwhgBUBpBUBuI9Agd9UFsGsLgGcmYGgkASYCzQngZAQgHnAg dRQQIpHScANgeHknwmcUICfBfR/2dCcAI2ACMASRFCAuPR+aSSexJwAYICKRc3DfBZAGkA3gIrcp wWEmUSghOyvBE+B2JrIoYQJgZW3/BCAD8CnQI0Aqqy3iHgACILJsKKBydSCRIZIuDsD/HgAh7yzZ BAAm4SigMBAFoP8BACKAJgEn1QPwAwAqYiNQOlQtQ2EooCYBJnB1bOcigCgCKdJzYQeAJCAFkAsT 4AMAczHgSUUgZD5vB5EowifgKdADYHVnnmgpwyLGNXAwEGRpIoD/KdAzcQIQBcAgsibwLVEUENps IsBzOXAYIGEgsACABiwwcAhwICMoKiYOXihVLVImgSBPTkz+WSZjLtQ4IgBwIoA1BSTj/S1QaS6R IKEBgCMAGCAqm/c1oDNxLqBhJ6E3YSfRKEGubwQQQNUIcGMwYWY6gTcBIA3gNoB0M8IT4GRuvidA UgCBBIEJgDVxSUSwfynSKAEFwDhjJjIwMzgxNH8wcAXAIlA5YBKBKGEsIHJ3MKFGESLAZwhwNDFD UmP/RHAEESnaOQoi0CK3POAhhP8D8C0BJjIyACWRQPEn1SnS/yhgCYABEDUxNEFKIAWwAMC/QMAC IFBhP+cn0ThgdzCQvm9C4Db0RENGsiCgaDZz4zAzPHFsaXpKgjriPIC/ScAScj+yOyItMzAQYUOg 7RewZ1SRNXFOUiAnwh9R/0cxTeI/USKgJnYgsApAUOM/VfQzcQCQIaBQ0zVwSG2/WyA6Uk4DMDMn 0Rewbz5gjyVROPIEACqbQlRXPOD/OZoEIFaBMeAjwCayORYtsvkF4C1QKHMGYSOQVZQp0m8FIBPR C4AEIGI8kDQxRX5kKPAdACLRC1A5UCqVfQFkcAAAAwD9P1IDAAAeAEIQAQAAACkAAAA8MjAwMDA0 MjcwMTE3LlZBQTI0OTUyQGVudnkuZGVsb3JpZS5jb20+AAAAAAMA3j+vbwAAAwAJWQEAAAALAACA CCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAADhQAAAAAAAAMAAYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABCFAAAA AAAAAwACgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAUoUAAH1uAQAeAAOACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAA AABUhQAAAQAAAAQAAAA5LjAAAwAEgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAAYUAAAAAAAALAAWACCAG AAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAOhQAAAAAAAAMABoAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABGFAAAAAAAA AwAHgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAGIUAAAAAAAALAA6ACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAG hQAAAAAAAAMAJgAAAAAAAwA2AAAAAAAeADFAAQAAABEAAABSRFBBUktFUkQwNkZDNDAwAAAAAAMA GkAAAAAAHgAwQAEAAAARAAAAUkRQQVJLRVJEMDZGQzQwMAAAAAADABlAAAAAAAMAgBD/////AgH5 PwEAAAB0AAAAAAAAANynQMjAQhAatLkIACsv4YIBAAAABgAAAC9PPUJVVExFUiBNQU5VRkFDVFVS SU5HIENPTVBBTlkvT1U9QlVJTERJTkdTL0NOPVJFQ0lQSUVOVFMvQ049VE9XRVIvQ049UkRQQVJL RVJEMDZGQzQwMAAeAPg/AQAAAAwAAABQYXJrZXIsIFJvbgAeADhAAQAAABEAAABSRFBBUktFUkQw NkZDNDAwAAAAAAIB+z8BAAAAdAAAAAAAAADcp0DIwEIQGrS5CAArL+GCAQAAAAYAAAAvTz1CVVRM RVIgTUFOVUZBQ1RVUklORyBDT01QQU5ZL09VPUJVSUxESU5HUy9DTj1SRUNJUElFTlRTL0NOPVRP V0VSL0NOPVJEUEFSS0VSRDA2RkM0MDAAHgD6PwEAAAAMAAAAUGFya2VyLCBSb24AHgA5QAEAAAAR AAAAUkRQQVJLRVJEMDZGQzQwMAAAAABAAAcwcEauNXGwvwFAAAgwGlEYMHGwvwEeAD0AAQAAAAUA AABSRTogAAAAAB4AHQ4BAAAALwAAAFtncmVlbmJhdW1AdGkuY29tOiBjeWd3aW4gc2V0dXAgYW5k IGZpcmV3YWxsc10AAAsAKQAAAAAACwAjAAAAAAADAAYQ8Gz9DwMABxBUAwAAAwAQEAEAAAADABEQ AQAAAB4ACBABAAAAZQAAAEZST006REpERUxPUklFTUFJTFRPOkRKQERFTE9SSUVDT01DQU5TT01F T05FVEVTVFNFVFVQRlJPTUJFSElOREFGSVJFV0FMTD9JVkVHT1RURU5NQU5ZQ09NUExBSU5UU0FC T1UAAAAAFR4= ------_=_NextPart_000_01BFB071.3018511A--
