Internet Explorer 6 SP1 Update

Error Message: "Internet Explorer Cannot Download a File"

• July 15, 2003 •

Internet Explorer 6 When you try to download a file with Internet Explorer from a Web server, you may receive the following error message:

"Internet Explorer cannot download FileName from WebServer."

This behavior occurs because the content disposition header for the file stream is greater than approximately 150 bytes and the Latin character set is equal to 150 characters. This behavior may occur if the content disposition header is formatted with a non-Latin character set, such as Japanese or Russian.

System Requirements

Supported Operating Systems:

You can download the update (English only) from the Microsoft Download [374 KB] Web site.

Because of file dependencies, this hotfix requires Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1. You can download IE6 SP1 from the Internet Explorer Web site.

If you aren't sure which version of Internet Explorer is installed on your system, check Microsoft Knowledge Base article 164539, How to Determine Which Version of Internet Explorer Is Installed.
