Plone & MSXML control

When accessing a Plone site with IE6/7, the browser pops up the following message at the top of the page:

This website wants to run the following add-on: ‘MSXML 5.0′ from ‘Microsoft Corporation’. If you trust the website and addon and want to allow it to run, click here…


Most of the posts and comments about it indicate that it's a problem with older versions of Plone (<= 2.5.1) and the included kupu library. But I've been getting it with the latest 2.5.2 release, which includes the supposedly fixed components.

After playing around for a bit, I found that I could bypass the error by adding the site to the Intranet zone. Not an ideal workaround in general, but since I am doing this for a company intranet, it's acceptable for now.

If anyone finds the correct way to fix it, please tell me!

Hello,

I experienced the same problem on my site. Apparently, it is fixed in Kupu 1.3.9. The Plone site has details.

I am about to try it, thought I would let you know.

Good luck!
