Well, that's what you configured the server to do...
Given a request, IIS has to determine whether to serve the file (i.e.
"static" request) or execute something on the server to generate the
response (i.e. "dynamic" request).
Execute Permissions of "None" means everything is treated as a static file
and downloadable. If "Scripts" is enabled, then extensions corresponding to
"App Mappings" are processed by the associated Script Engine and response
dynamically generated. Executable files like COM, EXE, DLL, etc are still
downloaded (unless you set a App Mapping to the extension). Finally,
"Scripts and Executables" means that "App Mappings" are processed by the
Script Engine on the server AND COM, EXE, DLL, etc are executed on the
server to generate content.

I solved it at last! It was "Execute permissions" that was set to "Scripts and Executables". I guess that the server tried to run the files instead of sending them.
