New issue 127896 by bura...@gmail.com: Insufficient Permissions on download
exe file when "Enable phishing and malware protection"
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=127896

Chrome Version : 20.0.1130.1
OS Version: 5.1 (Windows XP)
URLs (if applicable) :


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In Settings - Advanced check "Enable phishing and malware protection"
and "Ask where to save each file before downloading"
2. Attempt to download an EXE file
3. In Standard Open-Save dialog navigate to where user wants file to be
stored (and possibly change the file name it s/b stored as). This s/b a
location where user has sufficient OS privileges to write (basically
anywhere as I run WinXP SP3 as an Admin)
4. Click [Open]

What is the expected result?
File is downloaded to desired location with desired name which appears on
download bar (and can be opened/run from there if desired)

What happens instead?
File name appears on download bar with correct size and label "Insufficient
Permission" and is not actually downloaded (or if it, its removed before it
can be accessed)

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
If you disable "Enable phishing and malware protection" then the download
is completed successfully to selected location

I've googled [Chrome Enable phishing and malware protection] and as
described it looks like a "good thing" to have set but preventing selection
of download location and name is IMO a "bad thing"

Again, IMO a finer granularity in what is allowed / prevented s/b exposed
or simply bypass this check altogether.

Note: Closest open issue I could find was:
Issue #23831: Chrome should prompt "Access is denied" when tried to save
the downloads in a location having insufficient privileges. but this
(originally MAC issue from 2009) seems to describe an earlier state of play

This might be the same as issue 126239.

Submitter: Can you provide us with a net-internals dump? Instructions for
doing so can be found at
http://dev.chromium.org/for-testers/providing-network-details. Start
capturing the log and then initiate a download. If it is interrupted, the
log should help us narrow down what might be happening.

You can email the log directly to one of us if you don't want to attach the
log to the bug report.

This most definitely continues to be a problem, and disabling malware and
phishing protection fixes it.

Still a huge PITA with 1137.47

Repeatedly fails when downloading from a PDF:

When you select the 'workbench.exe' file, it does as above (insufficient
permissions). however, a crdownload file was left, when when renamed, was
the correct file.

I noticed this was closed some time ago. I'm using 20.0.1132.57 m on WinXP,
and still intermittently have this problem. It almost seems like there's a
particular /size/ threshold where 'insufficient privileges' shows up. For
instance, I was downloading a Microsoft web-based installer (a few megs)
and there was no problem. When I tried to download a larger (~40 megs)
offline installer from the same domain, I got the error. I don't have
enough bandwidth to experiment with this though, so the size thing might
just be a coincidence.
