It happens on clean Windows 2000 Advanced Server installation. (Wich means
Internet Explorer 5.00.3700.1000 with service pack 4).
It does not happen with later versions of Internet Explorer with the same
piece of code.
Is it a known problem?
Does it have a fix or workaround?

This error is defined as follows in winerror.
//
// MessageId: ERROR_CANNOT_OPEN_PROFILE
//
// MessageText:
//
// Unable to open the network connection profile.
//
#define ERROR_CANNOT_OPEN_PROFILE 1205L

What is the network connection profile and how can I check whether it is
available?

The error returned is ERROR_INTERNET_INVALID_URL (12005) and not
ERROR_CANNOT_OPEN_PROFILE (1205) as I have written earlier, and looks like
this version of wininet simply does not support "res" protocol (anmd the
later versions do support).

The question is still open.
