  ASP.NET Core - Download .exe returns 404 error
  
  2 answers
  
  

I have an ASP.NET Core Razor Pages application and want to add a link which downloads an exe file when clicked. Therefore, I added the following code to my Startup class.

Startup.cs

app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions

 FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "folder1")),
 RequestPath = "/folder1"
);
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
provider.Mappings.Add(".exe", "application/octect-stream");
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions

 ContentTypeProvider = provider
);

Razor View

<a id="installButton" href="https://mysite.net.au/folder1/install/setup.exe">Install</a>

When I click the link, I get the error below.

Status Code: 404; Not Found

I have also tried using application/vnd.microsoft.portable-executable as the MIME type, but got the same error.

UPDATE #1:
I am aware that this issue has already been posted - I did a lot of searching and reading before posting, but none of the suggested solutions fixed the problem. Hence I needed to post my exact code/situation.

UPDATE #2
There is no button to answer my question so I'll just provide it here:
The only way I could get this working was to add BOTH static file options.
Here is the code that worked:

var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
provider.Mappings.Add(".exe", "application/octect-stream");
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions

 FileProvider = new physicalFileProvider(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "folder1")),
 RequestPath = "/folder1",
 ServeUnknownFileTypes = true,
 DefaultContentType = "plain/text",
 ContentTypeProvider = provider
);

I tested your code and found the problem. You have to combine the last two UseStaticFiles declarations into one.

app.UseStaticFiles();
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
provider.Mappings.Add(".exe", "application/octect-stream");
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions

 FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "static")),
 RequestPath = "/folder1",
 ContentTypeProvider = provider
);
