SYMPTOMS
Visitors to a Web page may see XML code when they try to open a Groove invitation file on the Web page.



CAUSE
This issue occurs when the MIME types on the Web server are not set to recognize .grv files.

Groove invitation files are stored as .grv files. When the MIME types are not set to recognize .grv files, Microsoft Internet Explorer displays the invitation file as XML code instead of calling the local Groove application to run the file.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, you must enable visitors to open an invitation from the Web page. To do this, add the following entry to the Web server's MIME types:

.grv: application/vnd.groove-injector
