In IIS on Windows 2000 Server, I get file not found error
message when a link points to an exe. Previously, it used
to download the executable to the client.

The option 'Allow Authors to upload executables" is
checked on at the root level.

Anonymous access is also granted to the executable file.

The link is in a html file residing on the same folder as
the executable and it just has the executable's file name
in href (abosulte path is not useed and protocol is not
explicitly passed.) Access to the site is granted through
port 8010 only.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
