This article was previously published under Q193047 SYMPTOMS
The IEAK setting for the one-inch Infopane URL at the bottom of the
Outlook Express window does not appear if the IEAK settings are
communicated to Internet Explorer via a custom installation package. The
Infopane frame and scrollbar appear, but do not contain the HTML content
of the URL specified by with the IEAK Wizard.
CAUSE
During the setup process, the IEAK Wizard settings for the Infopane URL
are postpended with the installation directory of Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer stores this incorrect URL in its data registry, and
during runtime, Outlook Express attempts to use the incorrect URL as a
source for the Custom Infopane.
RESOLUTION
The Infopane will function with the custom URL specified by the IEAK
Wizard if the settings are communicated to Internet Explorer and Outlook
Express via an Automatic Configuration URL rather than through a custom
setup package. To workaround this problem, perform the following steps:
- Execute Internet Explorer 4.0 for HP-UX.
- Connect to a Web site.
- On the View menu, select Options, select Internet Options, select
Connection, and then select Configure.
- Enter the Automatic Configuration URL (produced by the IEAK 4.01
Profile Manager)
- After the new settings appear, the custom Infopane URL will now appear
in the main window of Outlook Express.
