No Response When Opening a .EXE Via HTTP

[Shane Carter]

We have a 1.1 Windows Forms App deployed on our intranet
using no touch deployment. The strange thing is on some
machines nothing happens when the URL is invoked from IE.
(http://server/app1/app.exe say). On other machines it
works fine when invoked that way.

However, strangely running the URL using IEExec.exe always
runs the App. (ieexex http://server/app1/app.exe)


Any ideas as to why it does not run always on IE? Security
is not an issue since we granted FullTrust for the
StrongName of the EXE.

Just opening the browser settings and say apply even if you havent changed
anything makes it work on such computers.
