Downloading .exe's

Hey,

 

I know i could just make a script that allows people to download things, but if i directly link a .exe every browser tries to view it as a page and it can't be downloaded at all.

 

Any clues?

 

I'm a bit vague on this as it's been a while since I've needed to do this.  I think you have to set the configuration for the folder and .exe's for what kind of header to send.

 

The browser is getting the data and doesn't know what to do with it, which is why it's just displaying it.  It needs the proper headers.  (MIME type, etc)

 

I can't remember the right ones you need for it atm though.
