Error when downloading MP3 files with IE 6

I'm using
Zen 1.3.7 local php 4.4 sql 4 IIS
Downloading mp3s
Everything works fine in firefox.
I'm trying to download a mp3....
IE 6 is giving me big headaches.
IF i set attributes in config to the following, this is what happens
Redirect=true
Stream= false
The popup says
option to download index
which is a html doc
169 bytes
when opened this is th message:


</b>: Call to undefined function: symlink() in

<b>c:\inetpub\wwwroot\httpdocs\shop\includes\modules\pages\download\header_php.php</b> on line <b>122</b><br />


If i set attribs to the following
Redirect=false***which is what it should be on IIS
Stream= false or true
The popup goes


option to: download index
unknown filetype, 2.31 MB****NOTE the size of the file is correct.


so i download it and change the suffix to mp3 and voila she plays.
CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS??..IS IT A CODING BUG?***..HOW COME ie WANTS TO GRAB THE DUMMY INDEX?
AS I SAID FIREFOX JUST CHUGS THROUGH AND EVERYTHING IS GREAT.
ITS SO ANNOYING ALL THIS BROWSER INCOMPATABILITY IN THIS DAY AND AGE!

It is not IE 6 that is the problem, you are most probably running zencart on windows, and the function symlink is not supported on windows.

Re: Error when downloading MP3 files with IE 6

Thanks dancutts for the response. What i can't figure is firefox does it from the same windows platform, and ie7 seems to be ok too.? It seems to be just ie 6 that wants to download an unknown file type named index of the correct size...(in mb)...God i wish there was a solution
