Question

I’m using tomcat 6.0 and struts2.

When I try to click on a link to download a .msi file on IE, the page loads up text from the .msi file instead.

Has anyone encountered this before? What can be done?

Thanks…

Answer 1

Another guru told me to add this to tomcat/conf/web.xml:

<mime-mapping>
    <extension>msi</extension>
    <mime-type>application/x-msi</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

And that works 🙂
