Has anyone else come across an error when using AllowedSites in winnt.sif for the IE Popup Blocker settings? Even the example provided in ref.chm also causes an invalid error during setup

[IEPopupBlocker]
    AllowedSites = www.fabrikam.com; http://www.contoso.com

I'm just hoping this is a bug in SP2 build 2162.

i dont use sp2.. but.

its either a bug, or ms will release a new set of refrence's for sp2 full?

regards

Anyone tested it yet? It happens on SP2 RTM as well

No, haven't tested it yet. I sure would think that should be wrapped in quotes, as there is some white space in there.

Where did you get the new ref.chm: I don't see it in the SP2 Slipstreamed XPCREATION. Is there a whole new deploy.cab somewhere?

with me its proffesional ? strange...i have a corp license maybe the reason?

ref.chm is linked here: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/sp2changes.htm

Although I got that at the time there was RC2 afaik

Yup, mine generates an error lin Line 47 of winnt.sif in both VMWare and live. The ref.chm that comes with SP2 does not even mention it, nor the Windows Firewall.

same error here,

good thing i searched before i posted

anyone have a clue what's wrong?

Not sure, but I would like to know where the updated ref.chm file came from.

Hi,

the problem is, in the String are no spaces allowed

www.msfn.com;hotmail.com;cnn.com

that works

... as there is some white space in there. ...

Thanks, Ziggy! I kind of suspected something like that.

On occasions where I have found errors in Microsoft documents, I "reported" it to them, and they were most gratefull. It'd be great if you tell them, and I'm sure they will update it. You could also add a pointer to this thread to help them "understand".

Again, thanks for sharing that!

@GM

If you still haven't gotten the updated deploy.cab yet....

Thanks, Alanoll. Looks like the error is still in there. That might take them a bit longer to "correct", but they will if they know about it.

no space works.. but i get BSOD because of bad ram .. gotta wait until new one comes
