HOW CAN I UPGRADE PWS 4.0 TO IIS 5.0 UP?

[Andy888]

I want to run WEB SERVICE (call a class or objectfrom WEB) from VFP 8.0 on my Windows 98 SE. But I got a message that it needs me have an IIS 5.0 web service running. But I only installed a PWS 4.0 on W98 SE. I don't know who can teach me to let me to upgrade PWS 4.0 to IIS 5.0. Thanks in advance.

I don't believe you can run IIS on Win98.

I've never tried the VFP8 web services, so I don't know what it requires or how it's architected,

but the simple Foxweb.prg / FoxIsApi.dll based web services work fine in VFP6+ using any ISAPI capable webserver (Sambar Server is a powerful ISAPI/HTTP/FTP/EMAIL/SOCKS/etc server, free for private use, $99 for commerical license, and I've used it for a couple years with FoxIsApi... it's worked very well)

Andy,

Wgcs is correct. You cannot run IIS on Win 98. You need NT, Win 2000 or XP.
