IE Message 3

A third IE Java message you may encounter is this:

This program will open outside of Protected mode. Internet Explorer's Protected mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this website, do not open this program.

Name: Java SE Runtime Environment 8 Update…

Publisher: Oracle America, Inc.

You can also set this message manually, or by usign Group Policy.

To make this prompt automatically never occur again, use Group Policy Preferences:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Low Rights\ElevationPolicy\{GUID}

where {GUID} is {GUID} for @the latest version of Java on your machine. Then set the registry values as shown in the table below:

Registry ValuesTypeDescriptionNotes
AppNameREG_SZjp2launcher.exe
AppPathREG_SZC:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_111\binOr the path to the latest version of Java
PolicyREG_DWord3

The result is that the Java applet is allowed. Since Endpoint Policy Manager Application Settings Manager does not yet have a way to set this dynamically, we suggest Group Policy Preferences be used to deliver these registry values.
