IIS won't allow exe files to be downloaded

I am running IIS 5 and I have a link on the page that links to a program that I made and when you try to click on the link, it doesn't download the file. The browser just sits there and seems like it is trying to connect to the server. How can I get any exe files to download with IIS 5?
 
It is probably trying to execute the files instead of downloading them. In your IIS MMC make sure that on the directory that you have the exe file in you don't have execute permissions turned on.
 
zip the file up and/or tell the downloaders to right click on the link and select "save link target as" or whatever.
