iis security: the dll is probably in a iis site that has scripts and executables
enabled, so trying to run it.

btw: this is a dead technology, and you should not be using it, you
should be using silverlight instead.

404 error when dowloading DLL files from IIS 6.0?

Windows 2003 Server Standard SP1
IIS 6.0
ASP.NET 1.1

My ASP.NET page uses a client-side .NET control. The control is
implemented as a .NET assembly which is located in the virtual
directory root. This worked on IIS 5.0/Win 2000 server, bit IIS 6.0
refuses to serve the DLL file to the client (404 file not found
error).

I saw multiple posts that say that IIS 6.0 does not allow downloading
files of unknown MIME types. I followed the steps outlined here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326965

, but, to my surprise, the ".dll" extension was already set up (as
"application/x-msdownload".

I also added ".*" as "application/octet-stream", but, still, it did
not help.

Here is the entry from IIS log file:

2008-01-22 18:54:37 W3SVC1 172.19.12.33 GET
/oms/Helper.Win.Controls.dll - 80 - 173.29.123.19
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+InfoPath.1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322)
404 2 1260

Thanks, that was it :)) Changed from "Scripts and Executables" to
"Scripts only".
