This page will automatically install the IFDB Installer plug-in
for Internet Explorer on Windows.
If you're using a browser or operating system other than IE on
Windows, this page probably won't work, since most other browsers use
different plug-in technologies. Check the main installer plug-in page to find the right
plug-in for your system.
Current Status
Installation Instructions
Installation should be almost automatic - Internet Explorer
will attempt to install the plug-in as soon as you view this page.
However, depending on your browser security settings, IE will probably
prompt you a couple of times for permission.
When you load this page for the first time, you'll probably see
a warning bar like this at the top of the page:
To download the plug-in, click on the message bar and select
"Install ActiveX Control..." from the pop-up menu. IE will download
the control, and will then usually show another dialog warning that
the download comes from an "unknown publisher." This is normal for
our plug-in. The warning dialog comes in two varieties:
This version lets you decide on the spot whether to proceed
or not. Click Install to complete the installation.
This version doesn't give you any options - IE is telling you
that your current security settings don't allow IE to install
unsigned controls, even with your permission. In this case,
you'll have to change your security settings if you want to
continue with the install. Click OK to dismiss the dialog,
then go to the Tools
menu, select Internet Options, select the Security tab, and
click the Custom Level button. Find the section in the list
labeled "ActiveX controls and plug-ins," then look for the
sub-section "Download unsigned ActiveX controls." Change this
to "Prompt" - this will make IE prompt you for permission
whenever a web page attempts to install a control from an
"unknown publisher."
