Opera tries to open directly .msi file when I want to download it
HelloI tried to download the recent final version 2.0.4 of Hijackthis (link: http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/ ) but when I clicked on the MSI installer (link: http://go.trendmicro.com/free-tools/hijackthis/HiJackThis.msi ), Opera tried to open it directly instead of opening the download manager.
Why does Opera behave like that? Is it a bug?
Bye.
This usually happens because the server is sending the incorrect MIME type to Opera, so I believe its a site problem and not a bug in Opera. If you save the downloaded tab content as a file with *.msi extension it should run as expected. You can report site problems from the Help menu, which I have already done for you.
If you right-click on the link, and select save as, it will download correctly.
