MED-V 1.0: Unexpected Condition Errors During Image Download

When launching a MED-V workspace, you may get the following error after selecting the workspace image to download:

Failed to download Workspace image. Reported error: An error occured while downloading ‘http://server/directory/file.ckm.index’:
An unexpected condition prevented the server from fufilling the request

This is another internal error which could denote errors in IIS configuration. Most often, it relates to errors in the web.config file.

Fortunately, any mistake barring corruption can be adjusted in the IIS interface on Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2. In most cases, it relates to MIME types not being properly configured. Often the *.CKM and *.INDEX MIME entries have not been added or have been added at the parent level, but overridden by a local MIME setting, or not properly propagating.
