Thanks for the clarification ryanb31. I'm still unsure why it is even seeing this at all. My first guess (and that is all it is) is that the deployment is requiring the .Net framework and pr-requisite files. When using Firefox the file simply downloads as intended, however when in IE it does just as you say and asks for a file to open it with. The problem seems at first glance to be in the way the two different browsers view the file.

This solution appears to be spam. I am well aware that this is a manifest file. There is nothing wrong with the windows operating system on these machines. They are test machines with nothing but the clean install.
99% of these quick scan fixes are a virus waiting to happen. I highly recommend against using this method.
