[mapserver-users] WMS Request issue

MapServer users:
 
Has anyone else ran into this issue.  I am trying to access a WMS
service I setup through a web browser to test it and the browser keeps
prompting me to download mapserv.exe instead of executing it.  Any ideas
why it works on a non-wms request and not the wms getmap request?  Both
are using the same location and .exe on the server.  It is using
MapServer 5.2 from MS4W 2.2.8. Thanks, Brian
 
If I do a non-wms request it works (example below):

If I do a WMS GetMap request it prompts me to download the .exe:

The mapfile is pretty straightforward as well.
