This article was previously published under Q194961 SYMPTOMS
After you install the Windows Script Host, Internet Explorer no longer
looks to the .pac file for its proxy settings. Instead, the browser
attempts to contact the Web site directly by trying to bypass the proxy
settings and fails with the following error message:
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site HTTP://<SiteURL>.
A
connection with the server could not be established.
CAUSE
When you install the Windows Script Host, the Jscript.dll file is
changed, which produces the symptoms mentioned above.
WORKAROUND
To fix this problem, you must upgrade to Internet Explorer version 4.x.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Windows Script Host
version 5.0.531.7.
