Missing unblock button under properties

Question

So im trying to setup all of the PHP, MYSQL, APACHE, and PHPMYADMIN. To do this, im following a guide, because I obviously cant do this completely on my own... Im actually almost done setting this up, and now i stumple upon another problem. The thing is, i have to unblock certain programs(for example the php.exe file), but i do not even have the "unblock" button.

Is there any other way you can "unblock" the file?

^Yes I know the language is danish.. But there should be an unblock button right beneath the "avanceret"(advanced) button.

Thank you

I've often ran into this same problem when downloading files. Windows will not always display the unblock button. Here are a couple easy workarounds:

First to verify the file is actually blocked, open a command prompt and type:

more < yourFile.exe:Zone.Identifier

If it reports your file has a ZoneId = 3 or 4, your file is indeed blocked. You have two easy options to unblock it:

First Method: If you have PowerShell version 3 or higher, you can open a PowerShell window and type:

C:\>Unblock-File -Path C:\Path\ToFile\yourFile.exe

To open a PowerShell window type powershell into the run box. To check your PowerShell version, type this from the PowerShell prompt:

C:\> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major

Second Method: If you don't have that version of PowerShell installed, you could install it for free but there is a much faster download. Download the free streams program from sysinternals: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897440.aspx and from a command prompt type:

streams -d C:\Path\ToFile\yourFile.exe.

Note*

If these files were downloaded from the Internet in a .zip file and you unblock the zip file before unzipping, then all of it's contents will be unblocked as well. If you forgot to do that before unzipping then add the -s option (in addition to -d) and run the above stream command on the parent directory itself instead of your file/s. This will recursively unblock everything in the sub-directories.
