Hi,

I want to upload .MSI projects and .exe files on SharePoint site. When I try to upload .exe or .msi file in custom list I get error message file is blocked by Administrator. Can anybody tell me how to upload .exe or .Msi files on sharepoint site.

Thanks.

If your administrator has blocked the .exe (or) ".msi" file type, you can't upload. Request your administrator not to block

the file-type 'exe' or ".msi" in the central administration

Central Administration ---> Operations ---> Blocked File Types

Hey Guys,

youcan upload your exe and msi files, if you remove them from blocked file types. But I strongly recommend not to do so, because uploading .exe and .msi files can make your site vunerable to threats.

if you still insist on having this. ok go head but, i suggest you to use Micorosoft Forefornt Security for SharePoint.

Hi,

I know this thread is old but I am wondering why the blocking appears to be only on a site wide basis ? Surely the ability to have a single library or folder within a library with admin access to upload .msi / .exe and read only for anyone is less of a security risk than an all or nothing approach? or am I missing something ?
