Microsoft File Transfer Manager problem in Windows 7 x64
When running 64 bit Windows 7 and trying to download from MSDN you might get… nothing.
The problem is that the File transfer manager is 32 bit and your IE is 64. Solution is to start IE in 32 bit.
Either find it in the start menu. Or look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer.
