    Well it works now, but I'm not sure what happened.
    After seeing your post I tried setting the Execute Permissions on the
    Virtual Directory tab of the Properties dialog for the web. It was set to
    Scripts when I got there (wasn't working). I set it to "Scripts and
    Executables" and then I would get an IEExec error on the client. Switched it
    to "None" and I'd get the content of the exe shown in the browser, changed
    it back to "Scripts" and then the app came up on the client. Changed it to
    None and the app came up on the client. Changed it to "Scripts and
    Executables" and I get the error on the client. From that point on it
    responded consistently, "Scripts" and "None" would work, "Scripts and
    Executables" doesn't.

    Thanks for the tips. I don't know why it started working, but it's working.
