The Web Store installation comes as a ZIP file that must be installed in a very specific location: The Web Connection application root directory. This will be the location where Web Connection was installed.

Unzip the files into this directory and make sure that the directory structure is maintained. The following structure will be unzipped into the Web Connection root:

wwStore_Setup.exe
wws_client.exe

/wwStore
	<source files (*.prg/vcx/scx)
	<data files  *.dbf>
	/html
		/images
		/banners
		/specials
		/templates
		/admin
		/itemimages
/wwstore_client
		<source files>
		<separate set of data files>
		/images	

Note that there are two sets of directories one for the store server which is the Web Connection application and the store client which is a standalone application that can be used to download, view and process orders that are placed in the online store.

Important:
The client and server applications must run independently of each other since they use the same data file names. To run the wws_client application either start Web Connection and immediately DO WWS_CLIENT.EXE or alternately run the file from Explorer external to VFP. Do not run wws_client.exe in the same VFP session after running the Web Store Web application - otherwise the client application will view the Web files rather than the offline files.
