[THIN] Re: WinXP SP2 (BETA) breaks NFuse?

The site is our intranet; it's already reg'ed as a trusted site
for all machines in the AD; through a GPO.
I did some further testing with manually reducing my IE security settings
for the Trusted zone to an absolute minimum; but the problem remains.
Like Brian says, I really hope MS gets to remove this before releasing
to general public, cause I get the ugly feeling that a lot of admins 
will have some headaches over this...

Kind regards,
Frederic Allaert

What happens if you add the Nfuse site as a trusted site on IE?
This issue also happens on Windows 2003 TS when you have a shortcut on
the user start menu that is redirected. With the file server added on
the trusted sites it fixes the issue.
Does it work in this case if you add Nfuse as trusted on your PC IE?

Hi Frederic,

I noticed this too. Since Ron and I are brand-new MVPs, I decided to
post
this to one of the private MVP newsgroups. We'll see if it's possible to
get
this changed.

I'll also write an article about it on my site. For better or worse,
that
tends to get things noticed by Citrix and MS :)

Hopefully they'll change this, cause I agree that I don't want the
"default"
install of SP2 to break WI.

Brian

Subject: [THIN] WinXP SP2 (BETA) breaks NFuse?

Hello all,
Today I got SP2 for WinXP pre-release via TechNet subscription. Tried it
on
a few test-machines, and apparently
it seems to break the launching of .ICA-files via NFuse/WI by
registering
the .ICA download as an "unsafe" download.=20

As a result:
1./ IE presents the well-known dialog "Some files may harm your computer
bla
bla. Do you want to [Open], [Save], [Cancel]".
2./ Clicking Open does not trigger the ICA client,not even after
re-registering via "wfica32.exe /setup"  (So breaks NFuse!!!)
3./ Saving & launching the file manually works, but that's an
unacceptable
workaround.

This got me spooked that in a few weeks/months upon general release of
SP2,
this will=20
create havoc in our company, with PC's being pathed all the time...

I know it's a bit early, but anyone else noticed this behaviour already?
