I am devloping .net desktop application which I want to be accessed through web
I have created a virtual directory and hosted the application
Well, I am able to access it through localhost path.
But it is giving problem when I am trying to access the application through other system.
Actually the IIS has certain limitations which I came to know(I am using IIS 5.1)
Can anypne suggest any remedy that allows exe's to be downloaded at client system in spite of any IIS version
Thanks in advance

taking a stab at what your asking.
Your trying to get a client program in windows to download a binary app (an .exe) from a web server?
Any web reference to an .exe can be grabbed in c# and treat just like any other binary reference file. You can request the file to be pulled down and then store it locally on the machine, much in the same way spyware does.
Anything else past telling the http requester to get the file thou, like say if you need a dialog box or a progress display your going to have to implement your own approach.
