iis security:
We have a website that is set up to allow our employees to
click a link to a .exe file to download and install a
client application. It works fine under Windows 2000
Server and IIS 5.0 But on the new server running Server
2003 and IIS 6.0 the users get an error:

HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)


How do I correct this to allow the clients to download and

I have found this to be much easier when you put the files
inside a .zip file. You should be ok then. They can find
the .exe after they extract the files and then install the
app.

I would like to be able to do that but the web pages and
ASP code are from a 3rd party. I have noticed that .cab
files will download just fine. it is just .exe files which
give me the error.

-> check for the urlscan (ISAPI) that is included in IIS6,
the default is to reject *.exe requests with 404 file not found
