I want to allow a friend to download an .exe file
I want to let a friend download an .exe file. I want to create a link to download the file. I will then provide that link to him. I don't want my friend to see the message that states you can't preview an .exe file. How can I do this? If so, please let me know how.
Hi Curtis Blaine, thanks for messaging the Community!
You can force the link to download onto their machine, instead of previewing it on the site, if you follow these steps.
Keep me updated with any progress!

Dear Jay,
Thank you so much for explaining the steps. Everything worked perfectly
and no message appeared about previewing the file.
Thanks!
