Hi everyone,
we have an issue at a customer project. To better understand what we want to
accomplish, here a small project description.
Our customers has to build an image for their customers. As their customer
will use Windows Vista machines in kiosk mode, they want us to customize the
default IE error Messages. (e.g. “Internet Explorer cannot display the pageâ€).
We found a way to manipulate some of these about pages via the registry.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs )
Anyway, IE will still present us the standard “Internet Explorer cannot
display the webpageâ€. When you look at the status bar you see
“res://ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm†(which is normal behavior, as we are
offline) for a few mili-seconds. There is no registry key for the DNSerror
webpage.
You have to manipulate the ieframe.dll.mui under c:\Windows\System32\en-us
using ResourceHacker or something else, navigate to "23" and then click the
htm you want to customize. (in our case DNSERROR.HTM and SYNTAX.HTM)
Under XP it works just well. Click the save button and the changes are
immediatly active.
Under Vista I can´t get it to work.You can´t save to that location, so you
have boot in WinPE and change the file "offline".
When you reboot into Vista, you see that the file has changed as planned,
but IE is still displaying the standard error site.
I also tried to replace copies of this file in c:\windows\winsxs - with no
success.
Any ideas? Installing a proxy, webserver, firewall etc. is not an option.
Must be a local setting, whether with the ieframe.dll.mui or something else.
Thank you
Best Regards
