I have a client that wants to make their products firmware files available for download on their website. The firmware files have a custom extension: .bi2. The client wants the files to be downloaded directly and not placed in a container (like a .zip file).

Is there an IIS setting that will instruct the browser to download the .bi2 file instead of trying to open it as a webpage?

Thanks in advance for your help!

In order for IIS to allow access to the file at all, it needs to be assigned a MIME-type. Use application/octet-stream and the browser will almost certainly treat it as a file it can't handle itself.

(You could also experiment with application/x-whatever-you-want)
