I have a client program stored in a virtual directory in IIS. It is launched by clicking the link to in on a web page in IE.

This works for 3 of the 4 systems that has tried it. The 4th system will not run the program. Instead it puts up the dialog
asking if to open or save. Clicking open results in an exception that 'could not be handled'.

The failing system is Windows XP on SP1. The web server is in the INTRANET zone. All obvious settings in IE are the same as to
the working systems. (One of which is also XP on SP1.)

Any ideas as to why the program does not launch on this system?

Hello Roy,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, one of your systems download a .NET
application located on your web server instead of executing it directly.
Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding.

Do you have .NET Framework installed on the failing system? If it is .NET
Framework 1.0, please also apply the latest .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack
at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/sp2/default.aspx.
It includes a file IEExec.exe (known as Microsoft IE Execute shell) which
will transparently download .NET application in IE and execute it directly.

Hope this helps.

Yes, you have understood the problem.

The system is an XP with 1.1 framework. It even has Borland Delphi 8.0 (the Dot Net development version) installed and
operational. (ie you can develop and run Dot NET 1.1 code on this system.)

We are going to have to dig deeper. Does anyone know where or what is set that makes IE know to run instead of download a Dot NET
.exe?

Thanks

Hello Roy,

Thanks for your response. Since you have .NET Framework 1.1 installed, I
suggest you to execute the following command and see if it works properly:

ieexec http://yourWebServer/blah/dotNetApp.exe

If the problem persists, I believe that .NET Framework 1.1 may not be
intalled properly. I recommend you remove/reinstall it.

I am standing by for your result.

We removed Framework 1.1 (the only one installed) and re-installed it and the SDK and things are fine now.

Thanks
