Does anyone know how to force IIS to return the 'content-length' header for EXE file downloads?

I've spent 2 hours on this and can't find anything useful to help out with the problem. It's really starting to piss me off now.

I've got EXE files set to MIME type application/octet-stream (the default).

Stumped...

Grrr...

Never-mind... I've solved it...

I'll need to blog this because it's not obvious at first glance.
