Hmmm... This was why I was worried about incorporating this stuff because I
didn't understand fully what the issues were with different Win32 systems.
We can certainly make it gracefully handle an empty or non-present registry
entry for the MIME stuff, in which case it will fall back to not supporting
anything but LCP and intrinsic encodings. I'll do that today as a first
step. That will make it able to use what's there but not freak out if its
not there.

Subject: Win32TransService and IE4.0
We just tried to move a production application from one of our development
machines to a server. When doing so, we bumped into a little problem with
the Win32TransService. It seems that it looks into:
\\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Charset
Which is perfectly happy and full of all sorts of useful information on a
machine with IE 5.0 installed, but the problem appears when trying to use
Xerces with this transcoder on a machine that one has IE 4.0 installed.
This branch of the registry is empty which causes a panic exception to be
thrown...
Any ideas as to how I might fix this?
(Installing IE 5.0 is probably what we will do for know, but I really don't
what to force our customers to download IE 5.0 for 3 hours when our
application only takes 5 minutes to download...)
Thanks,
