Server 2012 IE error : Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded

Here you find a powershell script which was very useful for me.
All scripts are free of charge, use them at your own risk :

In Server 2012 you’re not able to download a file :

Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded

Solution:

Click on Custom level

Select the “Enable” file download option

And try again !

Didn’t solve my problem – My settings already said “enable”

There can be more reasons for this:
Group policies in your network
not enough rights local
corrupted IE installation

can you try to download with Google Chrome?

This tip above to enable file downloads worked for me. Thank you! I don’t know what other factors might be in play, but I also had previously unchecked “Enable Protected Mode” in the Internet zone on the Security tab. I had also added the site as a Trusted Site on the Security tab (I had to uncheck “Require server verification” in order for it to let me add the “http:” site).
