So when I install it I get the following message - The virtual path '/_include/ControlPageHeader.ascx' maps to another application, which is not allowed. I do some groups.googleing. and remove the slash. And it works. Sorta. Now I get the login screen but it looks pretty bad.

I do some more digging and remove the / from "/_gfx/screen.css". Things look much better but still missing graphics.

At this point I'm reluctant to continue. smile.gif

I did install it to a totally different directory than it was expecting. But I created a virtual directory pointing to the webcore directory.

Hmm, I see in the Documentation\default.htm it states
4. Copy all scripts to folder C:\InetPub\XMail-WAI.
Umm, what scripts? what is meant by the term scripts?

Thanks, Tony

from the zip files that you downloaded, you have to copy all the files (the scripts) from the webcore folder, and put them in the location that your virtual folder in IIS points to.

so if you setup vfolder in iis named xmailwai, that is where you copy the scripts to

the problem you are having is that beginning slash tricks the application into looking for that file in the root folder of the web page so /Include means it is going to look in the folder of the first part of the url in your browser

http://localhost/xmailwai/

it's looking in localhost, and it should be looking in xmailwai

So what about all the subdirectories? Where do they go?

Anyhow I followed the instructions and now have the following error.

Server Error in '/webmail' Application.
Parser Error

If you look in the documentation it states that xmail-wai cannot be installed in a vfolder, but has to be installed in its own site.
