I think his/her problem is getting a download.html file, such as:

virt-viewer Windows installer - 32 bit - virt-viewer-x86.msi
virt-viewer Windows installer - 64 bit - virt-viewer-x64.msi

I watch the elements of this page in detail, here may be a problem,
you see the following is element of virt-viewer-x86.msi
<a type="application/octet-stream"
href="http://virt-manager.org/download/"
download="">virt-viewer-x86.msi</a>

but for chrome , it may not explain "application/octet-stream" correctly
see this for details:
