Hi all,

I've developed an application that I've published on my website. So far all users have been able to install it.

One of my users however is still running WinMe..... (I know, I know) and he's having problems installing the application.

He did manage to get framework 2.0 installed, but when clicking "install" on the web page, it doesn't launch. He says there is also a "launch" button (which I don't see anywhere), which prompts him to download the myapp.application file, which he can't execute...

This is the error:

The problem was not WinMe, but a 3rd partybrowser (Opera in this case). Where IE prompts the user to Open or Save the file, the others just download it. Thedownloaded file is just a setup bootstrap, not the complete package.The setup must be run directly from the webserver, as there are several files to download from the same location.

I have the same problem. It fails only with firefox, with Internet explorer it run ok, and you?

Does anyone know if it can be done with firefox?
Thanks
