The error "remote server error-404" means that either the server address that you are using in order to download the exe does not exist Or the file being requested on that server does not exist.

Make sure the server path requested and the exe full path on server - both are there.

If you really want help, then you should show us your code, explain to use why you think the error message is not valid, etc.
