Downloading Downloads not working

Posted on by Richard Wheeler 75,730
Is anyone else having trouble downloading files? I am trying to download GP 2010 SP 11.00.1799. The link is contained in a pdf. When I click the link to start the download all I get is the Microsoft Dynamics File Exchange System screen and then nothing happens. This has just started happening. Does this have anything to do with the latest flash bug? I tried Firefox and had the same problem. Fortunately I have an old WXP computer running and downloads work just fine over there.

    I had the same issue when I tried to download NAV 2017 and eLearning/course materials , I followed these instructions (link below) and read many forum's posts but it still doesn't work.

    mbs.microsoft.com/.../fileexchangeissue

    Most of the posts suggested these:

    Added to Trusted Sites:

    https://corp.sts.microsoft.com

    https://mbs.microsoft.com

    https://mbs2.microsoft.com

    But I was still having problem until I added this URL to Trusted Site (IE11-Tools, Options, Security tab)

    mbs2-cy1.partners.extranet.microsoft.com

    IE Download as of 10/5/16

    I had this same issue after never having an issue with downloads.  I was provided this fix from the Feedback group.  And it worked!

     

    This sounds like an issue with file-exchange files.

     

    If your FTM window is not launching, please follow the steps given below:

    1) Open one of the file-exchanged links (like this one: MDGP2015_R2_DVD_ENUS.zip> https://mbs2.microsoft.com/fileexchange/?fileID=0466f51b-6a67-4021-bfef-6b57b0c345c8) in Internet Explorer (IE).

    2) Now right click on IE and select - 'Inspect Element'

    3) Developer Toolbar will open, here click on 'Emulation' and change 'Document mode' to 10 or 9. Click 'yes' to allow the file transfer manager to work, and Microsoft File Transfer Manager will pop-up to help you download the file. Please refer to attached emulation.png screenshot for visual reference.

    I log into PartnerSource thousands of times each year. Today was the first time I have seen this. The download page come up blank.

    You did log into Customer Source, right? You need to log in before you can download it. It 'should' ask you to log in, mine did, but if not, that might be why you are getting the blank screen. If it didn't, log into Customer Source first, then try clicking the link while you are still logged in another window.

    Are you trying to do this ON the server? Most Windows Server installations have strict website restrictions with Active X and downloading. You can either change the settings or download it on another PC then network drive it over to the server.

    Thanks,

    That is the one. All I get is a blank download screen. It only works on my old XP computer.

    The one in here worked for me just now:

    mbs.microsoft.com/.../MDGP2010_PreviousPatches.pdf

    It sent me here: mbs2.microsoft.com/fileexchange for your specific 1799 version.

    Good luck!

    Thanks,
