I thought it was mildly offensive, but whatever, this can be ignored.
Thereafter, I allowed your installatio script to start up my web browser and point it to http://localhost/cgi-bin/WW.py?FrontPage Problem, though: No such file exists. So I'm presented with a big fat error page that looks something like this: Internal Server Error: The system cannot find the path specified Now I've heard you talk about your target market (non computer-savvy businessmen), and making everything seamless so they don't get confused. This is one thing you must work on. I browsed around in the C:/Program Files/WindowsWiki/www folder (Note: not on a Laptop) and I noticed some other file names. Well, I tried cgi-bin/helloworld.py, which worked. There were many other such files (Which look to me like test files, that have nothing to do with the Wiki itself (including some CSV files, etc)). messageserver.py threw an error. There was some inconsistent naming: statscast1 vs statcast2 (note the missing 's') WWed1 was broken (said files were read-only) WWmanual worked fine. There was a missing icon (or some other broken image at the top) across all WW pages that successfully loaded. WWlistall worked in that it listed all of the categories of the Wiki, but note that all links were back to WW.py?CategoryName , which of course failed since WW.py was nonexistent. My final suggestion: When you package up a release, test it on a virgin computer that's never seen your software before. Test it on more than one, if you can. Mess with the options and try to break the install. If you can't, then _maybe_ it worked out correctly, but still try to get it tested as much as possible. If you can break it, go back and try to fix the problems. I will be happy to re-test your software upon next release. Good luck. As of now, I see no reason why I should "pony up the dough", though. -Luke
