I used to distribute software on my website by offering as a download
an installer.msi.

I now need to distribute it as installer.exe.

There are many requests from other sites coming directly for
installer.msi.

I tried doing a server-side redirect from 'installer.msi' to
'installer.exe' but when the client goes to run the file, windows
complains of file corruption (since the msi file is really an exe
file).


Question is: what is the recommended strategy to deal with this
problem? There are hundreds of shareware sites redirecting users to
that file, and i can't seem to get the client browser to start
downloading 'installer.exe'.

Any help immensly appreciated..
