IEExec does not start because the exe is not fully downloaded until I click on the hyperlink enough times that it finishes downloading all the 4k chunks.
Why in the world is IIS only serving the exe in chunks instead of all at once?? This has happened on multiple machines. It mostly just happens over VPN and dial-up and not on the office LAN. And as I said, if you think in the same url into the browser, it launches immediately. After that the hyperlink will launch it every time because it's cached locally. This is really confusing.
