could be that the security settings dont allow unsigned programs, or even disallowed running from the local machine.<br />
Check your security settings with control panel under internet options.<br />
set your local machine in the safe site list and allow unsigned programs to run.<br />
(its all dangerous)...<br />

Thanks. &nbsp;This make sense.<br />
<br />
Would you show me the exact steps? &nbsp;I already have <a href="https://localhost" rel="ugc">https://localhost</a>&nbsp;as a trusted site. &nbsp;
</div>


<div>
the steps will depend on what and where you are trying to run.<br />
<br />
If you give me the file, type, location and error when trying and I should be able to elaborate more.<br />
But basically, there will be warning that tells you that its either an unsigned executable, or outside your trusted zone where you get to change the settings.<br />
If its a permissions issue, again an appropriate message will be displayed..<br />

when I try to run .exe or msi files on windows 2003 server, I am not able to. &nbsp;I have to go to the file's properties and unblock something which I forgot. &nbsp;After that, I am able to run. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there a way to do this from the folder level and let it propagate? &nbsp;Or make configuration somewhere?<br />
<br />
Please advise.
