Installing a Microsoft Client Web Server

Note: Please read and follow the instructions below regarding Microsoft Personal Web Server. In order to run SalesCart properly, you MUST have the current version of Microsoft Personal Web Server or Internet Information Server (IIS) installed and running.

SalesCart, like any FrontPage^® server-based component, requires Microsoft Personal Web Server (PWS) as shipped with Windows^® 98. If you have

Windows^® 2000 Professional, Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 is shipped in lieu of PWS. It is important to determine which version of PWS or IIS is installed on your system because an old version or no web server will prevent SalesCart from working. If you have Windows ME, you must download the PWS (Windows^®NT 4.0 Option Pack) from Microsoft.

There are three distinct types of web servers.

Microsoft Personal Web Server 4.0 (This is shipped with Windows^® 98 and Windows^® NT Workstation).

FrontPage Personal Web Server (shipped with FrontPage 97and FrontPage 98 ). This version is no longer supported.

Internet Information Server Web Server (IIS4.0 shipped with Windows^® NT 4.0 and IIS 5.0 shipped with Windows^® 2000).

Windows NT Option Pack 4.0 available for download for Windows.

Note: Although the software is titled "Windows^® NT 4.0 Option Pack", it contains Microsoft PWS for Microsoft Windows^® 95, and ME.
