[IEPopupBlocker] Invalid Error

[iEPopupBlocker] Invalid Error : FIXED

I had the same problem but I changed the prefix and it worked!

Where you specify

[IEPopupBlocker]
AllowedSites = www.msfn.com; hotmail.com; cnn.com; www.yahoo.com

the host names need to have the correct prefix. This should be HTTP or HTTPS

The corrected syntax would look like this:

[IEPopupBlocker]
AllowedSites=http://www.msfn.com;http://hotmail.com;http://cnn.com;http://www.yahoo.com

I am assuming a wild card '*' could be used - but have not tested.

If someone were to try

[IEPopupBlocker]
AllowedSites=http://*.msfn.com;http://*.hotmail.com;http://*.cnn.com;http://*.yahoo.com

then please reply and let us know. It shouldn't really need to be if you are allowing a domain - all sub-domains should permitted too.

Hope this helps

Pete

actually, as stated, it was the spaces causing the errors...if you notice in your first quote they have spaces between the seperator and the address, in your second quote there are no spaces. Therefore you should not have to use wildcards, for whatever you want to set as wild, just leave off the first part (usually www.)

Thanks, page has been updated

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.

The problem with the example is maybe that they aren't real sites. Also, in Changes to Winnt.sif I give the download sites at M$ website to obtain both tools, (Deploy and Support). They are the RTM versions.

The updated ref.chm is

You'll hsve to go through the MS Validation deal-e-o, but no worries mate, for who among us actually uses pirated software?
