Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008IE 7 - File Download Security Warning
It seems that any downloads that should normally install and launch in the browser window no longer functions correctly. I no longer get the 'run' option, only the 'save' option. This is a problem because I use a program at work, Interwise, for conference meetings. It is supposed to open to my meeting room but instead, I have to save the .svt file to my desktop and then launch it from there. On another machine running XP SP2 with IE 7, I don't have this issue. I have compared all my IE 7 internet options security settings and have found them to be exact. I don't have the pop-up blocker enabled on either machine. Can someone direct me on where and what might be causing this behavior?

Nevertheless, that's the most likely source for your symptom. E.g. if the security settings are at default level IE will ignore the file extension and open or download depending on the Content-type header of the file being downloaded. You would have to use an HTTP tracer (such as Fiddler2) or a packet sniffer and protocol analyser (such as netcap and Ethereal) to see if this was the case. > I don't have the pop-up blocker enabled on either machine. > > Can someone direct me on where and what might be causing this behavior? If you need more help you will need to find a publicly accessible file which demonstrates your symptom. > Thanks, > > Gary HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- Robert, I appreciate your response but I don't quite understand what you are trying to convey. If I was not clear, I have two machines running XP SP3 with IE 7. Security settings on both machines are identical, however, one is handling the downloaded file the way it is expected and automatically opening it within the IE active session and the other IE session is not. One thing I did not mention in my original post was that for a brief moment, I am getting the information bar asking for action on a file that needs to be downloaded. Before I even get the chance to do anything the information bar disappears and I get the error on the page "...application may not open automatically because of Internet Explorer 7 security settings". > > It seems that any downloads that should normally install and launch in the > > browser window no longer functions correctly.
