This is related to Windows Security, and can happen when an
‘executable’ file is downloaded from a web site or other network. Windows adds security zone information to a
hidden portion of the file in a secondary ‘stream’.
This generally indicates the need to ‘UNBLOCK THE PROGRAMS
FILE’.
To do this:
- Locate
the file SpirALS1.mde on the workstation (normally c:\program
files\spirals\spirals1.mde) and view its property sheet by pressing
ALT+ENTER.
- Next
to the Attributes tick boxes at the bottom of the page, you may see an
‘UNBLOCK’ button. If not then close the sheet, and see the next Main topic
below – re error 31541
- Press
this button and close the property sheet.
- Re-launch SpirALS and everything should be ok
This is a new problem that arose during the latter half of 2009. We believe that it is related to the enhanced security
configuration of Internet Explorer 8.
In this instance, the solution lies in adding the folder(s) containing your SpirALS Data Files and DataLink Import files
to the list of Trusted Sites, using “Internet Options” in either Internet Explorer or Windows Control Panel.
- Choose the ‘Security’ tab and then click ‘Local Intranet’ icon.
- Click ‘Sites’ then click ‘Advanced’.
- Un-tick the checkbox labelled ‘Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.
- Add the Drive, Share or UNC path to the location of your Data File(s) to the list using the ‘Add’ button.
- Re-launch SpirALS.
