    Hi,

    At installation, the installer checks if a browser is open.. if so closes
    it,
    then proceeds to install the toolbar. After successful installation,
    I launch IE but though it shows the new toolbar as "checked" in
    View|Toolbars, it is not shown nor visible on the browser. It's not
    obscured even. You must un-check, then re-check before the toolbar
    shows up.

    I debugged and found out that the first call to SetSite received an
    IUnknown interface that doesn't have a parent window and so
    the toolbar is not created.

    Question is: Why would SetSite fail in this case? What are the
    instances that SetSite may fail? What should I do in order to
    avoid this.

    Thanks for any insight.

    Neil
