Downloading a .exe

We are having a problem allowing someone to download a file from our folder.

We get a "Page not found" message.

We launched the Web page fine, but if you add the .exe name it says page not
found. Is there some permission setting we need to do to make this work
correctly?

Thanks,

Tom

IIS could be preventing the file download, or IE security settings could be
preventing it.

Tshad,
Can you post some "short but complete" code sample to illustrate how you are
doing this?

I don't know what happened, but now it is working.

I just had a normal <a href> command to get the file. I think one of the
other programmers made a mistake and put the file into the wrong folder.

Thanks,

Tom
