We're using the PHP based 'Moodle' system and had the similar problems
when downloading stuff in IE. On some IEs it worked, on some IE did
nothing, though it was the same version. The only way to fix this, was
to search for a 'IE' String, in the browser info and to show another
page, with a stupid 'Save as...' link to IE users.

hope that works,
