No way. The last thing you want to do is install into the SYSTEM directory
of NT.

COM development in general requires that you set up your environment in
the INIT of the server. One of hte things that needs to be done is find the
startup path then either access all data using that path as a prefix
(ie. USE (THIS.cDataPath + "mytable") ) or adding any needed paths
using SET PATH TO.

See http://www.west-wind.com/articles.asp and look for the FoxISAPI and
ASP COM articles which describe this in detail.

>>We are doing our first internet app and are trying to use FoxISAPI. On personal WEB server we set the path to the location of the files and the files open fine. When we switch to our real Web server it can't find the files. Any ideas?

>Although late since your post, did you end-up resolving your issue or still outstanding... Is the main server an NT with IIS instead of PWS? If so, one thing I noticed about FoxISAPI and IIS is that the OLE/COM server should reside under the installation path of IIS.. Ex: C:\INETPUB\SCRIPTS\YOUREXEDIR. If you have installed in other path such as C:\YOUREXEDIR, it doesn't work.
