Blocking .EXE

I get a 404, file not found, when browsing a .exe file on
an IIS 6 win2k3 site: IIS5 executed it fine.

URLSCAN not installed, though this behavior is the same as
an earlier post (June20) referred.

If I set the folder perms to "scripts only" then I get the
dialog box asking if I want to download the .exe or .dll
file. So, the behavior seen is as-if I were running
URLSCAN and it was blocking with a 404 message.

Does IIS 6 have URLSCAN built-in or ????

TIA, dave
