The directory containing the EXE should be configured:
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.

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.
