I have CF Studion 3.1.1 and there's no sign of Personal Web Server on the
CD. Bummer. I'm in the process of downloading PWS from microsoft.com, using
their convoluted download system:
1. Find app you want on site (new version of microsoft.com seems to have
better searching, but the first link it fed me for PWS came up 404! Oops).
2. Click the app you want. In the case of PWS, if you want PWS for Win 95
you have to download the NT Service Pack 4 installer. Makes sense to me.
3. Get past a typical MS survey type form (only one required field!)
4. Download the installer app (520k)
5. Run the installer app
6. Answer a bunch of questions in the wizard
7. When you pick the OS that you want to install to, in this case Win95, you
get a dialog that gives you three versions of PWS that you may install (min,
stnd and max) with no explanation about the difference between them
8. Pick a server to download from (one that's near you)
9. Start download
Now wasn't that easy! Holy shi#@@
Then, the download has been coming in at around 2k a second on my 56k modem,
real slow. It has also stalled twice. Each time I clicked "Cancel" and
restarted the installer app, answered the same questions again and the
download resumed (which I suppose is good).
Sheesh, sheesh, weesh....ug, grunt. This is advanced technology?
