Open File - Security Warning
Hi all.
Anyone know why I can run:
\\server1\share1\folder1\dotnetfx35.exe quite happily but running
\\server1\share1\folder2\NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe generates an Open File - Security Warning (do you want to run this file) dialog ?
I can get around the issue but I don't get why it's OK for one exe but not the other. They are both Microsoft .Net installers, and both digitally signed by MS.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Rob.

What do you get if you run notepad <your.exe>:Zone.Identifier
You should get something like
[ZoneTransfer]
ZoneId=3
Possible values are
NoZone = -1
MyComputer = 0
Intranet = 1
Trusted = 2
Internet = 3
Untrusted = 4
Reset Don't Ask checkbox = 6
Try playing with these values. You can just change them in notepad and save.
Hope you get somewhere :)

OK so I've been enlightened...
Right click the .EXE, click Unblock, click Apply.
Thanks Jamie... [;)]

Rob,
I've only experienced the security warning message you're describing when running exe's named 'Install.exe' or 'Setup.exe' from network locations / CDROM's
There is an MS doc hiding somewhere on the net relating to this issue - renaming my executable to 'SausageEggAndChipsTwice.exe' resolved the problem.
I'm sure this doesn't help you - apologies in advance

Thanks for the replies.
Ian - the Folder1 / Folder2 are actually folder names autocreated by SMS when it manages it's distrubution points (e.g. PPH0043A / PPH003DF) so the IE thing is highly unlikely. Also I tried copying the NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe to the same folder as dotnetfx35.exe and still get the warning
Al - I tried renaming NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe to dotnetfx35.exe and it didn't make a difference either so it's something deeper than that.
Cheers,
Rob.
Edit: I just tried copying the exe's locally and still get the warning! I'm sure I tried that the other day and it worked [&:]

I forgot all about ADS in downloaded EXEs. Another one to add to the armoury. Nice one, Pieter. Thanks :)

just thinking ahead. Since this is something I've run into a couple times now...
Say I had a whole bunch of exe's where I wanted to check / set the identifier to a certain value, anybody have any idea how to (VB)script this? Cause this whole :Zone.Identifier syntax makes it abit tricky for me.
(I know, this would mean going towards a "Scripting" discussion, but hey...)
EDIT: Nevermind, found a script here.
