401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource when download .exe file

[jinqing]

New to Advance Server.
Just installed w2k adv server and have a problem now,I configure it as a IIS,I put some .exe files under

http://wwwroot

folder for user downloading,but user can't download these .exe files from this server. The error is "The page cannot be found",but can download any other type file,eg .zip,.pdf ...
Get hints from internet,check the URLScan.ini file and make the .exe be allowable,then user will receive error message "401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource" when download .exe file.
I installed service package 3,latest hotfix,IIS lockdown tools,Microsoft Baseline Secruity Analyzer.
Appreciate for any suggestion.

Take a look of URLScan configuration. It's a part of IISLock Down package. You can find this file in your windows system32 folder then inetsrv\urlscan. Find urlscan.ini file then add in [AllowExtensions] part .exe extension. Remove also this extension dorm DenyExtensions] and reboot IIS.

Hope useful...

I would check the application permissions of the user on those files or folders using IIS console.
Check if the have permissions to execute and run scripts
