  • Thanks for your interest in Microsoft Fix it Center (Beta).  I am sorry to hear that you have encountered this problem.  In order for us to effectively troubleshoot this issue would please let us know if you are able to successfully download files from other web sites?

    You can also check if file download is set to enable in IE.  You can do this by

    1) Opening Internet Explorer, Click on Tools on the upper right hand side of the window

    2) Choose Internet Options, and click on Security tab

    3) Select the zone you are attempting to download in (most likely Internet), then click the 'Custom Level...' button

    4) Scroll down to the 'Downloads' Node and make sure that:
              a) 'Automatic Prompting for file downloads' is enabled
              b) 'File download' is enabled


    Regards,

    Rekha Patel,

    Software Engineer in Test,

  • I am having the same problem but I cannot download from any website.  I have tried downloading IE8 and a security product from McAfee.  I get the same message on those, also.  I tried the fix you suggested and it did not solve the problem.  Thanks.

  • Also, I am running XP SP3.  Thanks

    OS MS Windows XP Pro SP3.

    I am experiencing a similar problem. When I click on the RUN link it seems to load but when I click on the'SAVE' tab it tells me the 'Fit it Centre Set-up encountered an error. An unexpected error has occurred. Please close and try to run Setup again later'.

    I have tried two or three times and I always get the same answer? Easy to install and run... I don't think so.

    Look forward to the answer.
