Thanks for that.
Just one further question - the KB article says to place the created files
in C:\InetPut\Wwwroot\ folder can you explain this as I do not have the file
path??

Thanks

Derek

This is the default location for a Microsoft web server such as Internet
Information Services (IIS) to place files and bind to. You can't develop and
test a solution locally without one as all this stuff is going to have to
take place using a web server. If you're using Windows XP Pro you already
have one that you can install using the Control Panel | Add/Remove Software
| Add/Remove Windows Components and selecting IIS. If I remember correctly,
Win 2000 has this as well. Win 9x (but not Me) may also have the Personal
Web Server (PWS), that's a cousin to IIS, on the Windows CD or it can be
downloaded from the appropriate Windows download site at MS.

Hope this helps,
