Yes, in the ServiceExist procedure in Form1 in the WebAppBuilder form, it only checks for Win2K and WinNT - NOT WinXP. So, either comment that code out or add the check for WinXP or WinNT and above. After this everything should work perfectly for XP and WebAppBuilder...
>They do not default to that in WebAppBuilder. The fields are disabled so you can't enter anything. I changed WebAppBuilder to stuff the variables 'LOCALHOST" and "DEFAULT WEB SITE' from the init of those fields. After recompiling Webappbuilder, WebAppbuilder now creates the correct virtual directories on XP.

>>Yes, are you saying they didn't default to those values in WebAppBuilder? That would explain a lot of things...

I would make sure you have a good backup technique in place, even though this system has never failed for me...
>>>>>Client has asked me to buy a web server for them to host some internet applications I am developing. They have outsourced their networking support and that person is not that aware of web servers. I'm looking at Windows 2000 server on a Dell server box. Other than a lot of ram what other thing should I consider.
