IsEntryPointRegistered not working

[casey chesnut]

this is basically straight from the SDK sample NewsMain.htm
i'm registering my Hosted HTML like this :

var sXMLString = "<application title='brains-N-brawn.com'
companyname='brains-N-brawn LLC'
id='{A3CC7DED-E765-488d-A607-1AD5AD9BF570}'><entrypoint
id='{A3CC7DED-E765-488d-A607-1AD5AD9BF571}'
url='http://www.brains-N-brawn.com/' title='brains-N-brawn.com'
description='brains-N-brawn.com'
ImageUrl='http://www.brains-N-brawn.com/bNbLogoMce.PNG'><category
category='More Programs'/></entrypoint></application>";
window.external.MediaCenter.RegisterApplication(sXMLString, false, true);

then in pageLoadFunctions it calls checkRegistered :

var bIsRegistered =
window.external.MediaCenter.IsEntryPointRegistered('{A3CC7DED-E765-488d-A607-1AD5AD9BF571}');

the problem is that bIsRegistered always returns false?
but if i try to re-register then i get an error dialog saying its already
registered ...

Thanks,

it actually just worked a second ago.
it seems to work from 'More Programs', but not from a MCL file?

Thanks,

Only a registred app can tell if an entrypoint is registered and only an
entrypoint it owns. This is to prevent Company A seeing if Company B's
software is installed on your system.

i like that ...
but i'm assuming it could be sidestepped with an ActiveX control checking
the registry?

Thanks,

Yup, once you've got code on the machine you can do whatever you want.
