Unable to execute .exe file

[Guest Tom Randolph]

I have a freshly loaded Server 2003 R2 STD server. I downloaded System Center

Virtual Machine Manager. When I try to run the executable that I downloaded,

It tells me "Windows Cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You

may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I have looked

at the threads about trusted sites, it did not help. I have downloaded the

file from Microsoft onto the machine and had to unblock the file, did not

help. I downloaded the file to an Vista workstation and it will execute

there. I copied the file from the Vista workstation, but it will not work on

2003. I added the Vista machine UNC to trusted sites and copied form the

machine, still does not open. I uninstalled the IE Enhanced security and

re-downloaded, no fix. I'm at a loss.

RE: Unable to execute .exe file

 

Did you try the DEP settings under system

properties/advanced/performance/data execution protection tab. Add the .exe

file
