OT but possibly useful. Internet Explorer renaming is based on the MIME Type provided by the service. This is a security measure. These discrepancies tend to be related to actions on the part of the server from which download is being obtained.
On Windows 10, the default browser is Edge, not Internet Explorer, although Internet Explorer remains available. I prefer it for downloads, since it gives me the option of sending the download to places other than the Download folder on my account. Edge might be more fussy. In addition, there has been some tightening on strictness with regard to how the end of a download is handled by the origin server when delivering by FTP (which is what is used). This can lead to successful downloads that are reported as unsuccessful because of a termination problem. One can troubleshoot that by finding the downloaded material. The downloaded material will have the correct name but with an additional extension to indicate that it is in "partial" state. By renaming that to the intended file name one can try using it. In the case of Zip packages (including .oxt files), try opening in WinZip or 7-zip and using the test tool to verify that the file is complete and the checksums are all verified. -----Original Message----- From: Rory O'Farrell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2015 01:16 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Dictionary On Sun, 16 Aug 2015 09:51:26 +0200 Andrea Pescetti <[email protected]> wrote: > MICHEL ROCTON wrote: > > Now, One question, I'm just trying to install the French dictionary > > unto my laptop, he download is going well but when installing I am > > getting a error message. > > This doesn't seem necessary related to the Windows 10 upgrade, but we'll > need more information.

Outside of OpenOffice you should simply rename the dictionary.zip file to dictionary.oxt; then double clicking on it will install it automatically. You may still have to adjust your language settings to use that dictionary, depending on your setup. -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
