I recently upgraded my site from 7.4.0 to 7.4.1. When I use Internet Explorer to click on a link associated with an exe file, Internet explorer asks me to select which program to open the file. The file's extension is missing. This problem does not exist with FireFox, it works just fine. (I have several internet explorer users reporting this problem with my site.)
When the link was created, I checked the track option and the link contains linkclick.aspx verbage. I thought it might have a problem. I recreated the link without that option and the problem still exists.
When I look at the html link, I see this fragement at the end "/WxMesgNetUpd41.exe?ver=2015-05-17-081009-937" It appears that the html editor, or file picker, is appending "?ver=2015-05-17-081009-937". If I remove this from the created html, internet explorer starts back working.
This additional information does not appear to affect firefox, but internet explorer has issues with this added information. I don't know if the problem is due to a security update to internet explorer or if this was the result of me upgrading my site to 7.4.1.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone have suggestions on how to address this problem? I hate to go back and recreate all of the "exe" links on my site.
