FYI For me it needed a small tweak to IIS as well to allow for exe downloads. The change that I required was as follows: - Open IIS - Open CRM website - Go to crm patches folder and right click properties - On the directory tab change the 'Execute permissions' to 'Scripts only'. - Click OK You're good to go. Thanks Sander Hi Doug

There have been situations where permission on this folder were not set correctly and did not inherit, thus IIS prevented the users from downloading the patches when the update dialog displayed. If you are having issues pushing patches to your users, a good place to check for potential issues would be with the permissions at the folder where your patches are. Just a quick note:
