XP Service Pack 3 Release Cand. 2 (Build 3311) TS Web ActiveX issu

[Guest Dan DeRemer]

I have been running Release Candidate 1 of XP Service Pack 3 on an XP Pro

machine (Core Duo 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB SATA HDD, Broadcom NetExtreme GbE

5700 series NIC, Intel Pro/Wireless 3495ABG - running Trend Micro Client

Server Security for SMB) and I have recently upgraded to Release Candidate 2

of Service Pack 3.

 

My problem is that I cannot download the ActiveX control for TSWeb (2003

Std) or Remote Web Workplace (SBS 2003). I am running IE7 build 7.0.5730.13

(fully patched). The error I get for TS Web is "Remote Desktop Web Connection

ActiveX control could not be installed. A connection cannot be made without a

working installed version of the control. Please contact the server

administrator."

 

For Remote Web Workplace, I get "This portion of the Remote Web Workplace

requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's

security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls.

Adjust these settings, and try to connect again."

 

Now, I have added the site to my Trusted Sites, modified my security

settings on the internet and trusted zones to "Low" and double checked to see

if there were any scripting or ActiveX settings in the security settings of

IE that would prevent the control from installing. I also checked the "Manage

Add-ons" section and systematically disabled add-ons to see if that would

work. I also verified that the RDC activeX control I need has never been

installed (this machine is a fresh load of XP straight to SP3 RC1 then RC2).

 

Now, one thing of note is that I have another XP machine with SP3 RC1 -> RC2

just like the machine I mentioned above and it has the same issue of not

installing the RDP control. Now, in between the RC1 to RC2 install, I had to

uninstall RC1 and run all of the available Windows Updates in order to get

SP3 RC2. Before installing RC2, I tried to install the RDC ActiveX control

and it worked (note that this machine was running XP SP2 in between the RC2

install). So obviously the issue is a problem with IE7 and XP SP3.

 

Anyone else have this ActiveX problem with the Release Candidates of XP SP3?

All other ActiveX controls I use (Flash, Trend Micro, etc) install fine.

 

Thanks!

There is discussion of an incompatibility with Trend Micro software in the

TechBeta groups. I haven't followed it closely but I suggest you remove it

from the system entirely and see if you can proceed. Have you asked in the

http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2010&SiteID=17

forum? I suggest you use it rather than this ng.

Suggests that the allowing of public downloads of RC software is not good -

people don't READ the page, There's a link on the download page as large as

life to that forum......specifically for discussing SP3 problems....

I know what you are saying, but I guess MS is casting a broader net in the

hopes of gathering more comment before releasing to manufacturing.

Certainly folks coming here with questions is benign enough.

Yes, all the internal testing in the world will not help weed out the

bugs in real userland. We've all been pretty good about answering

questions or pointing everyone to the TechNet forum. That seems the

best for right now.
