When I download certain files(most often exe files), I'm not able to open the source folder anymore when the download is complete.

When I download certain files(most often exe files), I'm not able to open the source folder anymore when the download is complete. Neither can I execute the exe file. It often forces me to redownload the file in google chrome and then I go to the source folder and right click properties and I have to unblock the file. Only then I'm able to start the exe file.
FYI: I use vista, so that might be the problem by itself...

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • When we delete a pdf from a file, the deleted file remains in the file for a while but we are not able to open preview or open the file. We recently upgraded to XI Pro. Is this common?

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi Internetwerx,
    I'm not sure that I follow. Are you removing  PDF from a Portfolio, and it remains in the Portfolio briefly after deletion?
    What operating system and version are you on? When you say that the file remains for a while, what makes it disappear? Does it disappear when you save the portfolio, or change preview modes?
    I look forward to hearing back from you so that we can get to the bottom of this one!
    Best,
    Sara

  • The source folder must contain a valid boot.wim file

    Hi.
    I have the following problem
    I have downloaded MDOP2014 (en_microsoft_desktop_optimization_pack_2014_x86_x64_dvd_4130158)
    I have installed the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 Update 
    And then installed MSDaRT81.exe on a Windows 8.1 (with Update) machine
    I have also copied the boot.wim from the "Sources" folder from the Win8.1 ISO file. 
    But when I start the DaRT Recovery Image Wizard an try to point to the folder with the boot.wim file, it gives me:
    "The source folder must contain a valid boot.wim file"
    I have tried boot.wim files from 8.1 ent, 8.1 ent with update, server 2012 R2, server 2012 R2 with update...no go
    I am using boot.wim of win 7.
    Any ideas????

    Hi,
    I found that if you point to the root directory (not the sources folder), then it finds the correct boot.wim. Specifically, I downloaded the 8.1 Enterprise evaluation ISO, then mounted the ISO (F:). When pointing to the sources folder, it gave the same error,
    but when I pointed only to F:, it worked fine.
    Additionally, both in the wizard and in the article 'Creating the DaRT 8.0 Recovery Image', it states:
    Specify the root path of the Windows 8 <64-bit or 32-bit> install media
    Hope this helps,

  • Not able to open XMind files from IE in read only mode

    I have configured my SharePoint Farm to support .xmind file types
    Below are the steps I have done
    1.  
    Added an entry in DOCICON.XML
        <Mapping Key="xmind" Value="xmind_file1.png" EditText="XMind Mapping Software"  OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
    2. Added an entry in htmltransinfo.xml
        <Mapping Extension="xmind" AcceptHeader="application/vnd.xmind.workbook" HandlerUrl="" ProgId=""/>
    3. Added a MiME type 'application/vnd.xmind.workbook' in the Inetmgr.
    Now, xmind files are getting detected, but I am not able to open xmind files in read only mode from IE.
    Xmind files are working perfectly from Mozilla, but my client wants the xmind to be working perfectly from IE.
    Need a help on this issue....

    Hi Aries,
       Please find the screenshot below , while I am trying to open the xmind file in read only mode. It is redirecting the user to a blank page...
    Also please find the extract from the fiddler when trying to open it after selecting the read only mode

    1) Open you Numbers document
    2) select the menu item "File > Export..."
    3) select "Excel" for the target output
    4) click next and select where to save the file.

  • Is there any way I can convert a .exe file to .iso on my MacBook Air? I'm trying to install Windows via BootCamp but the download from Microsoft is a .exe file which does me no good.

    I'm trying to install Windows 8 via Boot Camp, but the download from Microsoft is a .exe file so when I go to create the bootable USB drive, it fails. I've read some of the other threads about this topic, but I want to know if there is any way to convert to .iso without having to find someone's Windows computer to borrow. Can anyone help?

    No. You would require a PC in order to run the executable which is an installer, not a disc image or an archive.

  • I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there

    I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.

    Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it.   Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer.   Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

  • Not able to open a downloaded file - paint??

    I cannot open a file downloaded in Adobe.  This is the error message:  "Paint cannot read this file.  This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported."  I get the same message when I try to open saved adobe files or files that have just been downloaded.  I think the downloading is ok as I get the message that the file has downloaded.  But, I am not able to open it.  Paint is elicited instead.  I am using a windows operating system and firefox for a browser.  Does anyone have some hints to pass on?  I don't know where to begin.

    What do you mean by "Adobe files"?
    What is your operating system?

  • Is it possible to create a vi-file in an .exe file with labview 6.1i? and how to create it?

    Hello,
    I want to create a vi-file into an exe-file but don't know how to do it with labview 6.1i.
    Maybe somebody here can give me hints to do it!
    thank you very much!

    To build EXEs you need the application builder. To see if you have it, open the tools menu. If you have an option named "Build application or shared library", you're OK. Just open it and you can set up your app there. To run this application, a computer would have to have the LV run-time engine, which can be downloaded from the NI site. For the first time you deploy the app, you should use the app builder to create an installer, which will install the run-time engine as well as your app.
    If you don't have it you can purchase it seperately from NI.Message Edited by tst on 03-17-2005 10:42 AM
