Did you try Julio's suggestion?

If the file name suffix ("extension") does not exist in the "MIME Types" 
list, IIS does not serve the file to clients and will return a HTTP 404 
error instead. To make IIS serve the file, you have to add its suffix to 
the "MIME Types" list (<mimeMap> element in the configuration file). The 
actual MIME type that you enter does not matter for the purpose of 
allowing the download (it will be returned in the HTTP Content-Type header).
