I have added MIME types for .exe and .dll's that are placed in one
subdirectory situated in a virtual directory. It is called /bin (it has
nothing to do with ASP.NET applications).

I just want to enable *downloads* of exe and dll files from that directory,
and I can't.
>From other directories in the same virtual directory there are no problems,
but from /bin I get error 404-not found.
Even other files in that same directory (/bin) can be downloaded, but
everithing that ends with .exe and .dll causes error 404.

Maybe IIS "thinks" that /bin contains .net application files that needs to
remain invisible to other visitors, but I need to change this.

What to do, any ideas?
