    Excel download frezzes

    Reply Contact
    Greetings IIS experts. I am using webmail on IIS version 5.1 running on Windows XP. I have problems downloading exe-files and Microsoft documents like Excel and word. Jpeg-files works fine.The server name is registered as a trusted website (no SSL) in the browser. When I use Vista I can chose “save” to download Excel and Word documents on local computer.But I can’t chose “open” to view the document at once. The session freezes. Excel type is: application/vnd.ms-excel When I use XP I cant download documents using “save” or “open”. Both freezes. Nothing works. I have the similar problems when running webmail on IIS 7 on vista. Can anybody help me solve this problem? RegardsJorgen - Denmark

    what kind of configuration have you changed on the server?  Do you have URLScan running?

    Could very well be a client side issue and not involve IIS at all. What do the IIS logs show for those requests?

    I am using default configuration. And I run ISSlockdown program. However I am a novice and I have tried different things.  I am not sureURLscan is running.  It is not defined within ISAPI-filters. I have locatede the excel and word download problems to the web mail system. I have createde the test web page below and now only the exe program can not download.

    Those log entries are showing that IIS successfully sent the file.  Does this fail with all clients or have you only tested with one?
