Bug?

[Graham]

How very interesting. I think I may have found a bug...
though I'm not sure exactly where the bug exists.

Given this URL: file://%windir%/system32/eula.txt

- Internet Explorer displays the file.

- An old VB6 app that I have, which uses the browser
control, displays the "page not found" screen.

- My .NET app which uses the browser control dies with
that "RPC server is unavailable" error.

However, given: file://c:/winnt/system32/eula.txt

All three of the above applications display the file
correctly. No problems at all.

Anyone want to speculate on what exactly is going on here?

I don't actually need to use environment variables, so I
won't... but nonetheless, I wonder if someone at Microsoft
might be interested in taking a look at this, just in case
it actually is a bug?

I still haven't solved the other problem yet (with the
forms designer), but I'm working on it...

On my Windows XP Professional SP1 machine running .NET 1.0 and MSIE6 SP1,
Internet Explorer displays the file, in VB6 and in my .NET app I get the
"page not found" screen.

And on your Linux, Unix, ms-Dos, cpm, Xenix, Apple, W9x, NT4 sp6, Net 1.1,
Net 2.0 front?
