Use Registry Settings to Enable File Downloads from Virtual ViewX

You use the DownloadFilesAllowed registry key to trigger an external file to download whenever a user attempts to open a file in Virtual ViewX. For example, if the registry key is enabled and configured to support such a file type, whenever a user triggers a script in Virtual ViewX that is configured to open a file, they will be able to download and view that file. To facilitate this, Geo SCADA Expert will download the file to the default download location set for that web browser. The relevant third-party application has to be installed on the Virtual ViewX client to enable the user to view the file. The registry key does not exist by default.
