I'm intimately acquainted with the process for getting a Web Server up and running Web Connection. However, my normal process is riddled with manually massaged nuances. Recently I was trying to write up some internal documentation for starting with "bare metal" and getting our ecommerce site up and running _on a deployment server_ which naturally involves installing and configuring Web Connection. I was trying to do it by the book as much as possible as to make it as repeatable as possible. Rick's done an amazing job with documentation so I was trying to leverage that as much as possible. So now, to the point.

I tried to use the CONSOLE.EXE to configure the server and it didn't seem to configure the server.

Now let me qualify a bit. This is NOT a development box, this is a production server. I had installed Visual Foxpro and Web Connection 5.66 as well as configuring the very basics of a website in IIS. This is a Windows Server 2012 installation and I selected the options of using the HTTP Handler and installing to the root (not creating a virtual). The process did seem to handle some of the permissions setup and DCOM settings but when I looked in the root of the website there was nothing. No web.config file, no WebConnectionModule.dll, nothing. In fact, I was about to go copy over WebConnectionModule.dll and manually make the web.config to see if that's all that was left and I can't find WebConnectionModule.dll.

Maybe my copy of 5.66 is messed up?
