Error on AW Pages: 'Location' or 'Element' Object Not a Property

ID: Q154084

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Commerce Server, version 2.0

Q. On every page of the Adventure Works demo, I receive a JScript error

   to the effect that the 'location' or 'element' object is not a property
   of the frame. I cannot recreate the error on all computers. Systems
   running the same operating system and browser are exhibiting different
   behavior. Why?

A. This error is related to the installation of Internet Explorer. During

   the installation, Internet Explorer Setup writes data to the Windows
   registry that ultimately affects how scripts update frames on pages

such

   as the administrative applications or starter store shopping pages.
   However, if the user performing the installation is logged on with the
   Guest account or another account that lacks permissions to write to the
   registry, the settings supporting scripting may not be enabled.

   Try to reinstall Internet Explorer using an account that has write
   permission to the registry. If that does not solve the problem, you may
   want to compare the versions of the Jscript.dll file on all the
   computers.
