Why this happens? 

When you save files, such as a PDF or a ZIP file, from a remote location (eg from the internet), Windows tries to protect our machine by blocking it using the Alternate Data Streams (ADS) technology.

To check if a file is blocked, just look at its properties, as shown in the picture below. From here, you can unblock it.

HOWEVER... what if I didn't check before I installed AGRIS... now what?

Options you have:

  1. Uninstall AGRIS and reinstall after following the directions here to unblock the downloaded file and try again. 
  2. Use a Microsoft Powershell script to confirm all files in the AGRIS folder are unblocked.   
    1. Run script.
    2. Restart server.

Both options are documented well in the following web sites.
