Vantage Help (6.10.542)

Here are the lines you'd need to put into a .REG file:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001

If you want to get totally automated and not ever have to think about it
again, it's possible to write your own Group Policy files that you can
then apply via GP for any registry setting you choose (as opposed to the
standard GP templates MS supplies). Writing the necessary files is
cumbersome, but it does indeed work, with only a minor downside (custom
GP files don't work *exactly* like the MS-built ones).

I haven't done this in my own environment for the Vantage help issue,
but I've done it for lots of other settings.

Do you use ActiveDirectory? If so, you could add a batch file that looks
up
the Registry key and update it if necessary.

Our Vantage Help links do not work. Support tells me it's a Microsoft
security update problem that disables links to any third party HTML
help like Vantage.

They sent me a set of instructions from Microsoft on how to allow the
links again. It involves going to every client machine and modifying a
registry key. No further help from Epicor since it's considered a
Microsoft problem.

Has someone come up with a better way than to visit each client machine
and modify the windows registry?
