If you are using the WIWA feature in the latest TSWA 2008 SP1, you may notice that it’s not possible to download attachment files from the work item window.

As a workaround, you can edit Wiwa\UI\Pages\WorkItems\DownloadAttachment.aspx and modify the page directive to fix this by adding the HasPermission attribute:

<%@ Page Language="C#"
        AutoEventWireup="true"
        MasterPageFile="~/UI/Masters/Window.master"
        Inherits="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.UI.Pages.WorkItems.DownloadAttachment"
        Codebehind="DownloadAttachment.aspx.cs"
        HasPermission="true" %>

We’re sorry for any inconveniences, please contact me if you have any questions.
