thanks wes, i saw that. this entry
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=875345) tipped me off to a possible
solution.

what a shame.

when MS releases "fixes" like that break APIs, and warns developers
*afterwards* that the solution is to rewrite the code that uses it,
businesses are hurt. very disappointing. but not very surprising :(

our product has a java applet that calls a javascript function.

the latest IE security patch
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-025.mspx)
breaks this.

the applet can no longer call the javscript function.

i've tried setting all the browser security options to the lowest
possible, but no change.

any ideas?

thanks!

Hi Dietrich,
Would you mind share your solution to this problem?

I am having the same problem after this patch is installed, that is, the
javascripts that invoke the HTML help file (CHM file) using the protocol
mk:@msitstore: does not work anymore. Is there any workaround?

Thanks a million.
