I am also experience the similar problems

I have a zip code look up tool that runs in a web page and
calls zipcode.exe and passes a zip code to it then
displays the zip code with X radius
For example:
>From a command prompt:
C:\ zipcode.exe 03852 5
03853
03854
03855
03856
03857

I call this script in my web page and pass the zip code
and radius as variables and it WORKS in IIS 5

I have looked at the MIME Types and .EXE is listed as:
application/octet-stream

Now What?
