this loads fine if loaded locally. It fails if you load it from the URL
http://www.tv.aol.fr/cgi-bin/aoltv.dll?tvgroupe

--> networking.

the problem seems to be calling the file .dll

Comment 3

[Darin Fisher]

Confirming bug on Windows NT (build 2000101008)
Bug does not show up under Linux (build 2000100909)

In both cases no MIME-type handlers are registered in the user prefs.

The fix for 54381 can be extended to wrap .exe cases as well. So essentially a 
dup.
