getcontextservice("Internet", inet_base) returns empty object

[mberni]

Hi!

Env:
Windows 2003 Server SP 1
Powerbuilder 8.0.4

We are opening web-pages from our pb-app using the following code: (example)

INet iinet_base
GetContextService("Internet", iinet_base)
iinet_base.HyperlinkToURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.de")[/URL]

GetContextService and hyperlinktourl both return 1 (= success) but iinet_base is empty. URL wont open, no errors, simply no reaction.

Standard-Browser is IE 6.0.3790.1830, which works fine when started from desktop. Doubleclick on any html-file from explorer pops up IE, so everything seems fine.

But no way from powerbuilder.

We already checked KB articles concerning this, but the offered solutions regarding 896358.

We have worked around this using an OLE-object and calling IE directly, but i'd like to know, why this code wont work.

Thank you.

The same application works fine on a windows XP workstation without any changes.

Is there anything special about W2K3 or Citrix Presentation Manager 4.0 (which is installed on all of our app-servers)?

we solved our problem in the meantime. it's a citrix-related problem.
