Rick,

First of all, I want to thank you. Even after two days of training in Phoenix I was not completely convinced that I would ever be able to produce a FoxPro Westwind application. Now, against all odds, I have questions for you about how to deploy the thing. I think you should add M.W. (or miracle worker) to your signature from now on.

At my client site I have a bright shiny new Windows server 2003 running IIS 6.0. I have uploaded and successfully installed the runtime for VFP nine and Westwind connection 5.5. The data resides on another server along the same local network so I have no issues with that location. My code points to the appropriate server.

When I installed Westwind and created the project on my development machine, the PRG that starts the Westwind server was installed in C:\wconnect along with some DLLs, some .h files and a few other things. The rest of my application ended up in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\albat. In this folder are both some .alb (the extension I chose in setting up the project) and their companion .prg files.

I produced an EXE file from the project created for me in the C:\Wconnect. That project and the related exp did not include any of the PRG files found under every wwwroot.

I have read the help file about deploying, but I still can't figure out where these files go and whether or not the PRG files in wwwroot have to be bound into an exe.

Thanks,

Potter
