IE-tools-advanced-
check the box to 'allow active content to run on files on my computer'

Not recommended except for local testing.

The prompt to allow can be disabled in Group policies, or the registry,
so no one on the network can allow unsafe operations on their own workstations.
And some pc users set it up that way as well.

Which is why some people don't get the warning or the script.

Simplest way out is to run it in any other browser- they are isolated from the operating system
in a way IE can never be.
