Your webhost probably doesn't allow exe downloads.

I recommend a premiere web hosting company such as my web-host or use Hosting24 which is what I use for my IPB board and company website. blusho;

Also try putting it in a zip! It sounds bad, but trust me

Sourceforge is pretty good free hosting for free &/or open source software
I also use
GitHub to host some projects as well. (Not just the source, but even host a website)
Hostgator is probably my favorite hosting provider, but
3ix is good if you're just starting out (although it is slow when you first start).

A little late to reply, but try using a FORM function linking directly to the .exe file with a target of "_blank" and it might work, not sure
