I do not think you can. There are two things to consider with this.
1) This would be a security vulnerability if a website could hide dialog
boxes. Think of how easy it would be to install a Trojan horse without the
user knowing.
2) Only installed programs that support rendering in a browser can be
rendered automatically. This is a setting on the local machine.
Now, if you want to force the dialog to appear, you might want to change the
content-type for the file (that IIS sends to the browser) to something that
will always be prompted such as application/octal-stream.
