When trying to open almost any media in Internet Explorer:

"The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is
either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution,
it is recommended that you cancel the download."


That's obviously a lie, since if i save it to my hard-drive, it in fact CAN
be opened by the default program (i.e. double-clicking). So, it is not
corrupted nor does it have an incorrect file type.

So what gives?

A: That URL doesn't work.
B: I'm betting you have HKCR\mpegfile\shell\open, "LegacyDisable" set.
C: I'm betting you have HKCR\MIME\Database\Content Type\video/mpeg, "CLSID"
set.

This would be a bug in how MPC does registration. I personally alerted Gabe
to this bug well over a year ago, so if you're still hitting this bug,
either your MPC is WAY out of date, or he hasn't updated his software. I
suspect the former.

[I dumped IIS off the the crosspost. Of interest is IE and WMP.]

You're guessing mostly right here, but not all the way. IE is getting the
URL. IE is checking the CLSID value first. That is handled by WMP because
MPC doesn't reset it. WMP sees that MPC is the shell handler so fails over
to MPC. IE shellexecutes against MPEGFile, which does NOT point to MPC
because MPC reuses the WMP ProgId without resetting LegacyDisable (a big
no-no, and thus making their registration a no-op!), and thus a strict IE
security check fails.

So the net net is: the MPC team is aware of this bug and should have fixed
this by now. You don't mention what version of MPC you're using so it's
hard to provide much more data, but hopefully I've been able to correctly
deduce exactly what is going on even from the insufficient info supplied
here.

> And, your IIS question is?

IIS is a web-server.
Web-servers send files to clients.
It is a "security" feature that is preventing a lot of people from properly
receiving files from a web-server.

What hotfix can be applied to IIS4,5,6+ so that files no longer have "an
incorrect file type" as indicated by the IIS server?

So i'm guessing that there is some new procedure in Windows XP/SP2 for
determining how to open a registered file?

i would greatly greatly greatly appreciate a link to a MS article detailing
how Windows now opens a file

All i can find is (watch the wrapping)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...file_types.asp

which doesn't mention "LegacyDisable" or ClassIDs.

That's shell, and not what you're asking about, actually. If you search
MSDN, you'll see references to what I mentioned. LegacyDisable is a part
of the documented shell associations, and CLSID is a documented part of the
IE assocations (specifically required for IPersistMoniker support).

I'm personally unaware of an absolutely cohesive document that details file
associations from an absolute entry point in IE to the absolute last
possible handling case. I would suggest that WMP is pretty interesting to
track if you're pretty curious, since it has to plug into most of the Win32
association methods.

If you're trolling for documentation, troll based upon the keywords supplied
here.
If you're trolling for How It Works, get a registry monitor and read the
docs. It's not simple, but it's not rocket science.
If you're trolling for why Media Player Classic is broken, you've gotten
that explanation - MPC is broken and the dev responsible is aware of it. =)

It's a pretty standard and quick disclosure of the potential (perceived)
conflict of interest. Much like you would not want to trust any journalist
who did not advise of their affiliation with a covered subject, a technical
agent such as myself who did not disclose the potential COI would again not
be one that I would trust.

Since I actually write file associations as part of my work for WMP, it'd be
incredibly obnoxious of me to leave out my employer in this context. =)
