Try something like this:

Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileInfo.Name);
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", fileInfo.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.WriteFile(fileInfo.FullName);
Response.End();

It should work!
