When it came time to download, I click the download button on the form, what downloaded was mybible.exe.asp. When I downloaded the bible version, it was mynivbible.exe.asp. When I remove the asp, the programs work. I complained to Laridian. Their webmaster reply that he was quite surprise as they were sending .exe files and that on Internet Explorer, the exe file is downloaded without .asp. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unfortunately it is a secure site needeing a password that you get when you buy someting 2. 3. Actual Results: downloaded files has .asp extension added Expected Results: There should not have been .asp extensions
