It's happening because you didn't set permissions on the mapserv.exe
directory to allow Execute permission. Since IIS can't run the program,
it tries to download it just like any other file it doesn't know how to
handle.

Hi=20
I am a new user trying to set up MapServer on my Windows 2000 machine.=20
I have installed IIS and gone through the procedures of setup as set out
in the readme.gif.wms.html file.=20
However if I run the mapserv.exe file I dont get the 1 line of text in
my browser to show me that it is working.=20
Instead it I get a "File Download" box prompting me to download the file
from the hosting computer.=20
If I say "Open", it shells to DOS for about 1 second and then that is
the end of it.=20
Can anyone tell me why this would be happening.=20
Regards=20
