You don't need the web service extension if you just want to provide download for the exe file.

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. -- Show quoteHide quote//David IIS http://blogs.msdn.com/David.Wang This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. // "techy" <ashish.te***@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?
