Thatīs not a problem with the server but the clients. Internet Explorer is just buggy...
As workaround you can ZIP all files that you want to offer for download.

If it works with apache, you are lucky. Then it is not the typical IE problem.

What do you want to download and what error do you get?

Canīt you put the exe in a folder that is not CGI-enabled? I doubt there is an other way around this as EXEs are valid CGIs for windows...
