Agent Download insufficient permissions

Usually we deploy Solarwinds agent via the console. However, I have a situation where I need to deploy the agent using the standalone installer MSI.

Trying to download the agent returns 'Failed - insufficient permissions'

That is All Settings > Product Specific Settings >> Agent.

I am logged into the Solarwinds console as an administrator. Verified that I have write permissions to the target folder on my workstation. I get the same message using Chrome or Edge.

Can anyone offer ideas for why this message appears? Thanks.

O.K. I think I figured it out. It's the MSI extension. I can download files with other extensions, but not MSIs. Probably an organizational policy thing.

I work for a large government agency. No chance I'm going to get an exception to download this file.

An chance the Solarwinds Agent download is available with any other extension than MSI?

Thanks.

Solved it. I can change the extension in the download dialog. Change extension from MSI to TXT and it downloads fine.

I spend most of my day in Solarwinds admin or SQL/SWQL data management activities. Sometime forget my basic Windows admin skills.

Cheers.
