(EL) Execute it. (Its and executeable zip-file with in
ex. an excel spreadsheet)

(EL) The download/execution stops quickly and nothing
else happens and there is no error at all on the server
or on the client pc.
URLSCAN is not installed on any of the servers.

(EL) If I rename it to in ex. zip i can download the
file. I could do the samme with the exe file by
selecting "Save As". The idea from the customer is that
the file should download, selfextract and then present
it self in excel og word. It is a zip file.
>what's the 'executable permission' setting
>in the 'home directory' tab ?

(EL) Scripts only
(EL) I Hope you've godt the information you wanted. I
woould appreciate any help at all. It is extremely
important to get it back on track as quickly as possible.
