    how do I allow download from unknown publisher

    Hi, I’m trying to download a Java Program from a third party website (NOAA) but every time the download gets blocked saying “unknown publisher”. So far I’ve tried many things to get it done but no success.

    It is Windows Vista Home Basic and Internet Explorer. Can anyone of you please tell me how can I download the same? Thank you.

    Which antivirus have you installed on your system? Just check because it could have been also blocking the download. If the download is allowed through the Antivirus, than follow these steps under Internet Explorer:

    • Close any Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer windows that are currently open.
    • Open Internet Explorer by clicking Start, and then clicking Internet Explorer.
    • Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
    • Click the Security tab, click on Internet, and then click the Custom level button.
    • Scroll down to the Downloads category, and set File download to Enable.
    • Click OK, and then click Yes.


    Now try to download a file and check.

    Even I am having a same problem with a website. There is a site from where I was able to download when I was using windows XP. But since I upgraded to Vista I always get the same error “Unknown Publisher”.
