The first should work but may be a refresh issue. The second one most
likely should not work since it resolves to a physical path on the
server but will work if you are using your local machine as the server
right now.
I would suggest the Response.BinaryWrite() and write out the bytes of
the file though an aspx page. You will need to set the ContentType and
the Content-Disposition header (it's good to set the extension header
also) and make sure your aspx page is blank or contains only code if
you're not using a code behind. Of course you will get slightly
different behaviors in different browsers.
