I am trying to browse silverlight.net from a fresh windows2008 machine
I try to download the silverlight plugin displayed in the above site, instead the error message below is shown.
Error: Your current security settings
do not allow this file to be
downloaded.
I tried adding the site to trusted zone as well but no use
Is there anyother tweak I need to do
Windows Server 2008 comes very locked down. Way too much so, in my opinion. My first recommendation would be to download and install Chrome, which is a much better browser all around, and then go from there. But that aside, you can also try:
Try this (from here):
Open Internet Explorer browser
– Go to Tools menu
– Select Internet Options
– Go to Security tab
– Select Internet zone
– Click on “Custom level…”
– Under Downloads category, enable the option “File download”
– Under Miscellaneous category, select Prompt (recommended) for the option “Launching applications and unsafe files”
– Under Miscellaneous category, select Prompt (recommended) for the option “Launching programs and files in an IFRAME”
– Validate the changes by clicking on OK
– Leave the Internet Options
– Close the browser
– Re-open it, this issue should be fixed ^^
