So last night I was installing a brand new Exch 2013 server on Server 2012.
One of the prereqs for Exchange had to be manually downloaded (unified communication library, or something) from Microsoft.
No problem, thinks I, I’ll just open up IE, paste in the link and download.
Except no. Can’t download. No download button.
Ahah, I think – I just need to put the site in to Exploder’s “trusted site” list. Which I promptly do.
Still no download button.
Set the security level for trusted sites to the lowest possible – Medium Low.
Still no download button.
Add “://.microsoft.com” to trusted sites.
Still no download button.
Install Google Chrome, and voila. Download button!
How much animosity must exist at MS between their website group, their OS group, and their Browser group for this to take place?!?!
WHY is the easiest way to download MICROSOFT PRODUCTS from a MICROSOFT’s WEBSITE on a MICROSOFT OS involve installing a competing browser?
Just one more reason to make installing Chrome the first thing you do on ANY Windows machine, server or workstation.
