Downloaded chm is blocked, is there a solution?
- by David Rutten
CHM files that are downloaded are often tagged as potentially malicious by Windows, which effectively blocks all the html pages inside of it. There's an easy fix (just unblock the file after you download it), but I was wondering if there's a better way to provide unblocked chm files.
What if I were to download the chm file (as a byte stream) from our server inside the application, then write all the data to a file on the disk. Would it still be blocked?
Is there another/better way still?
Edit: Yes, downloading the file using a System.Net.WebClient does solve the problem. But, is there still a better way?
