Blocked website?

coqqy

Hi,

I'm trying to run a simple vb program (see below) using LinqPad5 (running as administrator). When the program executes I get an IE popup window saying "Content from this application coming from the website listed below is being blocked by Internet Explorer Security Configuration." The website listed is "about:security_LINQPAD.exe". Why is this occurring and how do I fix it?

Sub Main
system.console.writeline(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)
End Sub

Do you have enhanced security enabled on Internet Explorer?

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your response. No, enhanced security is off. Why is LinqPAD even trying to access the internet?

LINQPad uses an embedded IE browser to display results which are formatted as HTML. Occasionally, a machine is configured to block all sites except those whitelisted. Unfortunately, this also prevents local content from displaying.
