Hi

On an XP SP2 machine, Internet Explorer returns empty string for
getComponentVersion (for an object with the clientCaps behaviour) for
Flash and WindowsMedia Player IDs. Previously these worked.

Is this due to SP2? I can't find any mention on the web :(

Thanks

Thanks. Unfortunately, this document doesn't mention anything
regarding this.


Anyway, I have spoke to Microsoft and, for privacy reasons, they have
restricted which components can be detected to the list as specified
in the MSDN library (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/
behaviors/reference/methods/detectable.asp) - you can no longer detect
all the components registered in the approriate registry key
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components)

However, we have created new code code to detect the required
versions. Thanks
