Downloading skinz from your own site

WickedMouse · 23rd September 2001, 21:07

Hi there,

I'm experiencing the following problem: When I try to download a skin from my site (a .wsz file) it's downloading it into text in Internet Explorer. You will only see a buch of text.
WinAMP has it's own methods of downloading: it will download and will immediately run it.
Is there a way to use that same feature too or is it special script?
Or can this problem be solved with another sollution than renaming it back again into .ZIP?

the easiest way is to re-install winamp

the right way is to in Windows Explorer go to tools > Folder Options (View > Options in 98 I think) and select file types, fine the entry for WSZ and click edit (or advanced) and make sure "Confirm Open After Download" IS checked

The only thing I chance is the fact Microsoft Windows will confirm to open AFTER the download.... nothing more..
I still get text at my Internet Explorer (I'm using 6 at WinXP).
So it MUST be Internet Explorer causing this error...not the webhost..?
Oh.. and eh... WinAMP is correctly installed... and the skinz DO work.. but I have problems with downloading .wsz-files from my own site.
