Running cgi Executables Under IIS7

I am a little baffled with IIS7, I can not get my cgi application to run.

1) I have both the cgi module and isapi installed
2) I have added the path to my executable under ISAPI and CGI Restrictions (set to execute)
3) I have enabled the CGI-exe handler mapping for *.exe

The result is always the same, I call my executable, and the browser just prompts me to download the actual executable.

Any ideas?

I did that already, as stated by my #2 and 3.
Okay,I figured it out. I did have those settings set, however I failed to realize that those top level settings didn't trickle down to my virtual folder, probably because I created it beforehand. After adding these specific rules to my virtual directory, my executable ran without issue.
