Author bin folder scripts and executable permissions disappear

We have a W2000 IIS 5 server. On one of the web sites, we have a cgi
application (from SAS) that has a bin folder under the application root. We
also have .net 1.14 applications residing on the same web site.

The cgi application requires scripts and executable permissions to run. We
can set the permissions, but they then later disappear, and users are
prompted to download the cgi application.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

For security reasons, ASP.Net is known to rewrite IIS configuration of all
/bin directories to deny all access (ASP.Net has /bin directory in the URL
namespace but cannot allow files to be downloadable).

However, ASP.Net only sets to DENY all access -- not just remove
script/executable permission -- so something else seems to be awry on your
machine that is changing things. You'll have to figure that one out.
