OpenInternet WinINet call fails after user upgrades to IE 7

Asked by ttitus in C++ Programming Language

Tags: , ,

I am using the WinINet call OpenInternet to fetch a web page from a site.  The following code works perfectly on all machines:

hSession = InternetOpen(internetUserAgent, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY, NULL, NULL, 0);

If you upgrade the computer to have IE 7, this call fails.

I need to know why it fails, and what should be done to the code to make it work again on computers with IE 7.

I cannot upgrade to WinHTTP calls, as support is needed for earlier OSes.
