File Download - Security Warning ??

Visual Studio 2003, VB.NET, IIS6 , Windows 2003 Web Server.

My deployed app works fine!, however every time I try to open the app http://myServer/PilotPro.exe I get the following message in a IE dialog box:

File Download - Security Warning

Name: PilotPro.exe
Type: Cor Remote Loader, CorLoad, CorLoad1,2.67MB
From: pilotPro.myServer

Run - Save - Cancel

I do not want the user to actually download the exe - I want them just to click on the desktop IE icon I have setup.

What is going on

    I am sure I miss something here but here is couple of things

    First, when you click any .exe file in the IE it will ask Run-Save dialog. So this is right behavior

    Second, if you want to user to use IE hosted app (no download but running in the browser) then you may consider using ClickOnce which is availble in the VS 2005. ClickOnce deployed app can be either install and available during offline or no install but running when user is online.

    I am not so sure if you can do similiar thing by using VS2003.

    Thanks
