Downloading Extensions From Microsoft Internet Explorer
When downloading an extension for Oracle Smart View for Office from Microsoft Internet Explorer, the filename extension defaults to .ZIP
instead of .SVEXT
. This prevents you from being able to double-click to install the extension.
Workarounds:
- When Internet Explorer prompts you to save the file, select Save As, change the Type to All Files, and then change the extension from
.ZIP
to.SVEXT
. Then, double-click the downloaded file to install the extension. - Change the security setting on your machine to allow Internet Explorer to install the
.SVEXT
files directly. You must have sufficient security privileges to perform this task:- Select Start, then Control Panel, and then Internet Options.
- In the Internet Properties dialog box, select the Security tab.
- On the Security tab, under Select a zone to view or change security settings, click Local intranet.
- Under Security level for this zone, click Custom level.
- In the Security Settings - Local Intranet Zone dialog box, scroll down to Enable MIME Sniffing.
- Select Disable, and then click OK.
- Restart Internet Explorer, and then try downloading and running the
.SVEXT
file directly from the browser.
