iis security : problem downloading exe file on server 2003 iis with sp1
i am having problems setting up a page to allow the download or run of
an EXE to do an installation routine with IIS 6.0 on windows 2003 server msi runs fine Internet Explorer cannot download esinst.exe from myserver Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later. there is no sub error with 404 i have tried web extensions but no use its so slow and never completes Thanks.
What about the win32 status code? is the reference path correct?
You don't need the web service extension if you just want to provide download for the exe file.

its only 404 simply saying file or folder not found or removed but its
working fine with msi files but not working with exe files regards [quoted text, click to view] Bernard Cheah [MVP] wrote:

Did you add a MIME extension for .exe? If not, IIS6 won't allow it to be
downloaded.

The directory containing the EXE should be configured:
1. Does NOT have "Scripts and Executables" permission 2. Should NOT have Web Service Extension (you want it to download and run on client, not run on server) 3. Should have "Read" permission 4. Should have ".exe" MIME Type All four configuration values exist by default, so EXE should download by default. http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/07/11/Allow_file_downloads_on_IIS_6.aspx If EXE is not downloading for you, then you need to start by showing the HTTP status and substatus for that failing request. Yes, the substatus does exist and is logged by default. If your server is not logging it, then please fix it to log it or else we cannot help you further. -- //David IIS http://blogs.msdn.com/David.Wang This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. // [quoted text, click to view] "techy" <ashish.techy@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1149864479.034832.212760@g10g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > yes > > > i did add mime extension > > already > > > > Daniel Crichton wrote: >> Did you add a MIME extension for .exe?
