Some new driver packages are failing to download to package servers

Products

• Client Management Suite
• IT Management Suite

Issue/Introduction

After importing certain new driver packages into the Software Catalogue, some of these packages return errors on the package server for downloads. 

In the agent logs on the package server, we could see it attempting to download from the Notification Server package share with an https URL. When we pasted that URL into a browser on the package server, we received an error page:

HTTP 500.19 - Internal Server Error

This requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.  

The configuration file mentioned showed there was a "web.config" file in the package folder.

Environment

ITMS 8.x

Cause

The driver manufacturer had included a "web.config" file in the driver pack.

Resolution

Remove the "web.config" file from the package.
The package server should be then able to download the package successfully.
