Hmmm,
URI handlers haven't changed much since 1994 when rfc1738[^] was published. Sounds like the handler for the ms-windows-store URI is missing from your machine. I wonder how that could have happened.

That's a little bit like removing the engine from your car and wondering why it doesn't go anywhere when you press on the accelerator.
"Well it looks like a car and has doors, wheels and a steering-wheel, so why don't it go?"

I'd say it's more like expecting a duplicate car-key made by a licensed locksmith to open the trunk of your car so you can finish eating the body of your latest victim

Bill, Microsoft has a policy of implementing silent download failures when the request is coming from a non-Microsoft browser. It's not all of their sites, but those they view as "income-critical" are on the list. For example, files from the Microsoft Update Catalog site can't be downloaded except through Edge.

Really? lol. Edge is quite young and the update catalog quite old. And I've been downloading update catalog files using Chrome for years.

Have you tried it recently? This started happening within the last year.
Also, this was at work where I have to live with "managed" Chrome and the corporate IT yabbos monkey with the settings just because they can. For example, I went months having to log in to codeproject.com every time I visited the site because of the bizarre crap they had in place for cookies.

No, not recently. Maybe your corporate IT yahoos are also responsible for you being able to download only from Edge.

On this day...Today in 1964 Thomas Kurtz and John Kemeny launched the very first BASIC program at Dartmouth College.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It's VB, so they probably copy'n'pasted the code from SO ...

Today is the first anniversary of our positive Covid test - hard to believe that it's been a whole year already, isn't it?
Anyway, a short update on how we are a year from "confirmation":
I'm OK - a bit down on "total energy" than I was, I still get tired a lot faster than I used to; my hair is growing back, but it's in that "stupid length" phase when it won't fit in the pony yet, but I can't "tidy it up" because I want to grow back to full length!
Herself is not so good: the Covid has either caused or exacerbated emphysema (she smoked when young, but hasn't touched a cigarette in over 25 years, but had no known symptoms before the infection) and now has 6 "portable" O2 bottles, one big "Emergency" O2 bottle, and a oxygen concentrator which she used pretty much all the time she is awake in the house. Bloody noisy thing too - but I can't hear it too much in my office, unlike when I'm sharing a sofa with her ...
She's had both her jabs, I'm waiting for an appointment for my second.
I not trying to get into the "it's a bad cold" / "it's a killer" or the "have the jab" / "the jab tracks you" debate, just thought I'd let you know the view from a year after catching it.
Still wearing masks, still washing hands, still wearing disposable Nitrile glove to go shopping ... still don;t want to spread it to anyone even inadvertently!

Not having heard for a while I assumed you were both doing OK. I didn't realise the after effects were that bad. Let's hope you both (especially your good lady) continue to improve. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Just heard that there is a general practitioner in town that refuses to vaccinate "because of the side effects"

What, like "not dying"?

Maybe he doesn't understand that being alive has side effects.
|
|

That GP needs to lose their license to practice, if so required.
He/She apparently doesn't understand the virus has much more serious side effects, like blood clots, lung damage, and, oh, I don't know, death.
Makes you wonder what else he/she don't accept that everyone else in the profession does.

Sounds like the a-hole pharmacist who early in the vaccination program deliberately left an entire batch outside of refrigeration overnight, thereby ruining it. Fortunately a technician came into work early the next day and discovered it before the vaccine could be used. He claimed afterward that he believed the vaccine was unsafe.
While he ruined a batch of the vaccine, he also ruined his life. His pharmacist's license was at first suspended and then after a review, revoked for life. The last I heard the state government and the Feds were fighting over who got to charge him criminally first.

Sure, let's just cancel everyone who disagrees with the prevailing wisdom.

Medicinal treatments falls in the realm of managing risk. Some treatments are better than others, depending on the patient. Side effects of treatments are weighed against the benefits of those treatments.
Vaccines are no different. But, grossly mismanaging risk, such as thinking the possible side effects of COVID-19, like death or "long haulers" issues, are less than the risks of the vaccine is just insane, as both are very well documented and we continue to build more of that documentation as time goes on.
Ignoring, or mistrust, of that documentation shows a glaring misunderstanding of the basics of both disease, vaccines, and the medical community as a whole, putting people at even more risk. At that point, you are no longer part of the solution, but an active contributor to the problem.
So yeah, if you're going to completely ignore all the data we have to date on this, you don't deserve to keep your license.
