Description:
I create a htm document and put it in IIS. My htm document contains a hyperlink to an exe file. When I run the htm in browser, it works fine. However, when I click the hyperlink to download the exe file, an error message is shown:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of http headers. The headers it did return are:

That's all. Do you know how to fix it.

I run the htm document in my Personal Web server and it works fine and I can also download the exe file.

Please help.

Hello. It looks like IIS is set to think that that .exe file
should be executed as a CGI application. You either need to
modify the IIS server's configuration to restrict CGI activity
to a certain directory, or change that file into a different
format (perhaps use WinZip to zip it up?)
