My previous reply was supposed to start: If you’re seeing 404.8 errors in the log then it’s the “hiddenSegments” section…

Only I put hiddenSegments in between pointy brackets so it got stripped out!

If you’re seeing 404.8 errors in the log then it’s the section of your IIS7 applicationHost.config that needs looking at. My package had a folder called “bin” which is blocked by default. See the last section of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431377.aspx and more info here http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/143/use-request-filtering/

I traced a problem with error 404.8, this is because the hiddensegment section of IIS filtering contains an entry for “Bin” this stops the bin folders of your application from downloading and causes bits to fail.
You should note it dosn’t appear in the filtering tools within IIS 7.X so you have to remove it out of the ApplicationHost.config file.
Once removed and IIS was restarted the download application downloads worked fine.
