Hi, when trying to get the latest windows update on my machine windows 2003 server service pack 2, get the message 'your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. IE security settings changed to default, no result. Know where to chnage this setting??

have you added update site to trusted sites?http://www.sysadmins.lv

yes it has been added to trusted sites. But also tried without and it does not work, same message

what is your current level for update.microsoft.com? And make sure if this page appears in trusted zone (in IE window).http://www.sysadmins.lv

Hi, If the issue continues, please perform the following suggestions: Suggestion 1: Enable "File Download" under Tools > Internet Options > Security > Internet > Custom Level > Downloads > File Download Suggestion 2: Enable these 2 options under the "Miscellaneous" subsection in Security option. "Launching applications and unsafe files" and "Launching programs and files in an IFRAME". Best Regards, Vincent Hu

hi Vadim,where can i see my current level for update.microsoft.com.?The site does appear in trusted zone.rgds Chris

If the site really appear in trusted zone, you need to check Trusted Sites zone level. It should be Medium. If not:1) manually change settings as adviced Vincent Hu.2) change level to Medium.Let us know if this helps you.http://www.sysadmins.lv

Hi Vincent,performed both of the suggestions but unfortunately still does not work. Same message.regards Chris

hi,trusted sites zone level is medium, also tried to changed to medium-low.manually changed the setting Vincent suggested. Message keeps coming when trying to download security updates.best rgds

As workaround - try to disable IE enhanced security configuration (in Add/Or Remove Programs -> Windows Components).http://www.sysadmins.lv

I've had a similar problem when trying to install adobe's flash. As it turned out, it was another domain the software was downloaded from which was not in my trusted zone. Maybe this could be an issue.Good business is where you find it. Trust will empower your Endeavour. Reliability and transparency shall form strong partnerships. Nothing exceeds lifes excess.
