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:
  1. Select Start, then Control Panel, and then Internet Options.
  2. In the Internet Properties dialog box, select the Security tab.
  3. On the Security tab, under Select a zone to view or change security settings, click Local intranet.
  4. Under Security level for this zone, click Custom level.
  5. In the Security Settings - Local Intranet Zone dialog box, scroll down to Enable MIME Sniffing.
  6. Select Disable, and then click OK.
  7. Restart Internet Explorer, and then try downloading and running the .SVEXT file directly from the browser.

Note:

Starting with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Release 11.2.2 and the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud 20.09 update, Internet Explorer is no longer supported. This procedure is kept here for the purpose of backward compatibility.
