Whenever I am trying to upload a .exe file after it has completed uploading I get the error failed to upload the file. Is this a known issue? Product version is AEM 6.1.

 

Getting the below error in DAM log :

 POST /content/dam/lexmark/documents/filedownloads/y2016.createasset.html HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.dam.core.impl.DamAdapterFactory Unable to adapt resource of sling:OrderedFolder to type com.day.cq.dam.api.Asset

I am using Classic View and successfully uploaded a EXE: 

Here you can see in the JCR: 

However - from a functionality point of view - uploading EXE in the AEM DAM is not recommended.

Please make sure that you have the same hotfix level on your local instance as on the higher stages.

Hi 

Can please explain the use-case of having .exe file in DAM ?

Coming back to the solution, as mentioned by "Jörg Hoh" please check the error in error.log file.

If the use-case it just to keep exe file in DAM and make it downloadable by providing download link to the page, then i would suggest you to make Zip file of exe and upload it in DAM. 

This is reduce the size of the file and also zip is supported in AEM.

Docs link:- https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/administer/content/assets/assets-formats.html

 

I hope this would help you.

 

Thanks and Regards

This only indicates that the upload failed. Have you checked the error.log for relevant messages?

Probably you have all launcher disabled in the past and for this reason you can uploaded it.

But as i already say the exe is not supported.

I think exe is not a supported format for DAM.

Here the lists of supported format: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/dam/documented_platforms.html

The DAM conrains assets like images and videos. An EXE file is not a supported file.
