Problem downloading applet in W2K with SP4.
Hi,
We are using a Security Applet in our web application for validation purposes. We were using W2K Professional / W2K Server with SP3 and Sun JRE 1.3.x. The application was working as expected.
We are now testing with W2K Server with SP4 (to upgrade to SP4). The current testing environment is W2K Server with SP4 and Sun JRE1.3.x. Now with the setup, we are facing a problem in downloading the applet (Security Applet). The downloading applet fails and the subsequent loading as well.
Please advice. Does it requires any particular settings to be done at Client?
The specs are
Windows 2000 Server, SP4
IE 6 SP1
Sun Jre 1.3.x
Problem:Downloading applet fails.
PS: When we test with SP3, we can see the applet downloaded (CAB File), with SP4 it was not found.
Thanks in Advance,
Prakash

Does the w2k sp4 server host your pages and applet?
If yes then why install the SUN JRE 1.3 on the server, doesn't the client need this?
Is the cab format supported by SUN jre or is it meant for msjvm and if so why is the client trying to open
the cab with sun jre?

What's on the server doesn't have anything to do with the applet. The server is
just serving it. Forcing the client/consumer of the html page with the applet is trying to open an applet
with sun jre while the applet is ment for msjvm causes the error.
The client can fix this by opening IE and check under tools -> internet options -> advanced -> UNCHECK
the use sun jre ... for <applet tag. For the XP machine you might have a problem. Some of the don't have
the msjvm at all so there is nothing to run the ><applet, I tried to download it at microsoft but was unable
to find it.>
