Hi,

Please check below code. It is working fine.

protected void btnDownload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

String FilePath1 = "FilePath/ipmsg.exe"; //project file path
String FileName = "TestExe.exe"; //setupname
String FilePath = FilePath1;
System.Web.HttpResponse response = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.ClearContent();
response.Clear();
response.ContentType = "text/plain";
response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + FileName + ";");
response.TransmitFile(FilePath);
response.Flush();
response.End();
}

Thanks
