Redirecting to an .exe

I couldn't find the answer to this question anywhere on the forum, so I appreciate your help in advance.

I am trying to setup a redirect to a .exe file by creating a folder with the title of the cloaked text, and making an index.html file with the following code:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=http://www.mylink">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

This works great when I'm linking to a landingpage, but when I link to a downloadable .exe, a blank page loads, and then the download pop-up appears. Is there any way to make the download pop-up without first loading a blank page?

How do you guys cloak links to direct downloads?

    when you want to direct link with a file like that you should probably upload it to your server then link to it there. for example.

    <a href="hxxp://mysite. whatever/program.exe">Cloaking text </a>
    This will prompt for a direct download without needing to load another page.

      Thanks for the idea, but I don't think that will work. Let me give some more details.

      I am linking to a revenuewire.com affiliate direct download link. It looks like their links are already cloaked to send to an ftp download which directly pops up on the browser, rather than loading a blank page.

      I want to cloak their already cloaked link. Has anyone cloaked a revenuewire direct download affiliate link before?

      Thanks
