.exe file downloads return 404 in IIS6.0

| Hi all,
I set up an IIS6.0 server and have some downloads that are executable files.
When I try to download them using both IE and FireFox, it returns a http404.
I thought I had found a solution online
http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/ar..._on_IIS_6.aspx,
and it told me I must not have "Scripts and Executables" set in the Execute
Permissions. I changed it to just "Scripts only" but still have the same
problem. Anything I've missed?
Thanks,
Neil

| Please post the relevant log file entries from the IIS logfile. There is a
HTTP substatus code that is logged that will tell us why you are getting a
404.
Additionally, if you have URLScan installed, ensure that .exe are allowed.
Cheers
Ken

| I suggest you read the comments to that blog entry. There are many more
followup things that you should try. Also, I recommend re-reading the
entry - you have definitely missed details from the blog entry that are
critical to your diagnosis.
