I am a software publisher and distribute MSI (Microsoft Installer) files
from my web-site.

On trying to download msi files from my web site using XP SP2, IE blocks the
content and shows the following message in the information bar:
"This content might not be displayed properly. The file was restricted
because the content doesn't match its security information. Click here for
options..."

Help for this topic mentions:
"Because it detects a possible security problem with a file. When you
navigate to a Web site or download a file, the computer containing the page
or file you want to see provides security information about that file. If
the contents of the file don't match the security information, the file will
open as a plain text file. "

What 'security information' is Internet Explorer looking for? Where can I
provide 'security information' on the web-server/msi?

I do not get the same error when I try to download an MSI from, say,
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mjbworld/mjbWorld_cs_ogl_runtime_523.msi?use_mirror=ovh

Thanks,
RS
