Can't Save Downloaded EXE File Properly - Windows 7
Gents,
I've uploaded a Setup.exe file to YouSendIt for a client. I have been using this for several years with no problem like this...
A month ago, he successfully downloaded a prior version and installed it - no issues.
Suddenly, today, the file is being saved with some extra "garbage characters" added after the exe extension and it won't run. Windows 7 on his computer says no file is associated with it, of course... (Note he claims nobody has touched the computer or made any changes since the first successful installation. No new anti-virus, etc.)
I can use the same link to successfully download, save, and run the setup on my XP system, so I know the file is OK.
YouSendIt's website still indicates you can send exe files with no problem.
So I'm suspecting something in the UAC, firewall, or his browser (Internet Explorer? Is that 7's default browser?) is not allowing potentially harmful files, or something like that.
I don't have access to a 7 computer and need to get him running by the morning by phone... Any suggestions?
THANKS!!!!
