I've inherited a project am currently attempting to get it working again. The project is Umbraco version 7.5.4
I have no idea what is going on but when I navigate to certain views in the backoffice (editUser and add user being examples) the browser downloads the file instead of rendering it.
Nice recording of the problem! I wish all my customers were that descriptive!
For a code file to be downloaded rather than executed on the server, you have a configuration problem with the server.
Start by checking the system.webServer > Handlers section of your web.config file - this will have the various rules that control behaviour. Easiest thing to do is to get a fresh Umbraco install and compare the contents of this section.
If that all looks fine, check the applicationHost.config file or machine.config file for inherited settings. Is it possible that a setting for a different project has interfered with this site?
