IIS 6.0 not serving .exe

Hello,

The reason for this is that IIS 6.0 does not serve unknown MIME types. You
need to add .exe.

Please follow this KB Article:

I had already done this, and it worked for the .3dmf files, but still
won't serve up the .exe files, just get 404 errors, I tried adding .exe
as application/octet-stream, and adding mime type *, neither is working.
I've stopped/restarted the w3svc as well.

In IIS MMC, go to the location that the exe is at and check the folder
properties and see under the Home Directory Tab - that you have
Scripts Only and not Scripts and Executables.

..exe is by default mime type. could you post the iis log entry here.

OK, the relevant iislog entry is below.
2004-11-12 15:08:22 'server ip' GET /tutors/IMT/RunIMTWrkshp.exe - 80 -
'client ip'
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322)
404

..exe is listed as a mime type, and the directory is set to scrips only,
not scripts and executables. Any further ideas?

Thanks, Jennifer
