Hello, I have solved this problem.
The solution was to add a "Handler Mapping" in IIS7 for the website. Here is the link that helped: http://www.esourcedevelopment.com/post/2010/07/23/Setting-up-IIS-to-allow-do wnload-of-EXE-and-ZIP-files.aspx Thanks, Kent -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kent Belan Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2012 9:33 AM To: 'ProFox Email List' Subject: [NF] - Windows server 2008 - 404 error - File not found Hello, I am building a new Windows 2008 webserver to host my websites, and having some trouble getting things setup and working good. I am not very familiar with 2008 server setup ... I have a website lets say www.mainsite.com and everything is working fine. My problem is that I have a link to download an EXE install file but the link fails with a 404 error. So the link is like www.mainsite.com/mainfiles/maininstall.exe The file is definatly in the folder but the browser reports 404 error. Any ideas on why I am getting a 404 error ?
