"Resource Replace Failure" Error When You Replace an Item with a Renamed Item (302114)

SYMPTOMS

When you try to replace resources in the resource gallery and the file name extensions for the new and old resources do not match, the replacement operation is unsuccessful, and you receive an error message.

For example:

Upload an image with the .bmp file name extension to the resource gallery.
Log on to the Web Author by using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Try to replace the resource item that you uploaded in step 1 with another image that has a file extension other than .bmp.

Note that you receive a "Resource Replace Failure" file upload error message.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, install Microsoft Office on your system.

NOTE: You can modify the registry key to support MIME types. Where the MIME type cannot be determined, Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2001 compares the file name extensions for the new file and the existing resource. If they match, MCMS 2001 allows the replace.
