By-design. No EXE run on IIS6 by default.

If you want to run an EXE on the server, you must specify it in Web Service
Extension via the IIS Manager UI. Look in F1-help, Troubleshooting section
from the UI, or just use Google; this is a pretty commonly asked question.

If you are referring to downloading an EXE from the server to run on the
client browser, that has nothing to do with IIS6 as it relies on browser
configuration.

The .exe is on the webserver and the users access it through their
browswer. All of the NTFS and IIS permissions are correct and I can
access .asp and .html files in the directory where the .exe lives.
