BlueZone Web-to-Host

How to Install the Web-to-Host Wizard on a Windows IIS Web Server Platform

Overview

This procedure is written under the assumption that the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is already installed, configured and running on the Microsoft Server.

This procedure will install the Web-to-Host Wizard, which is a Java application that is used to create and configure BlueZone Web-to-Host sessions.

Procedure

  1. Insert the BlueZone CD-ROM into the CD drive.  The BlueZone DemoShield will “autorun” and you will be presented with the Welcome to BlueZone "Splash" screen.

NOTE  If you don't have a physical BlueZone CD-ROM but have a BlueZone CD Image instead, you can manually launch the BlueZone DemoShield by double clicking the bluezone_cd.dbd file which is located in the root of the CD image.

  1. Click the BlueZone Web-to-Host button.  Several options will be displayed.

  2. Click the BlueZone Web-to-Host link.  You will be presented with the BlueZone Web-to-Host Setup dialog.  You can install or uninstall BlueZone Web-to-Host from this dialog.

  3. The option, "Install BlueZone Web-to-Host" will be automatically selected.  Click the Next button.

  4. You will be presented with the BlueZone Software License Agreement.  Respond to the question, and click the Next button.

  5. The Installation Directory dialog will be displayed.  We recommend that you use the default installation location.  Click the Next button.

  6. The Copy Software Activation File dialog will be displayed.  This dialog gives you the opportunity to browse to the location where you have stored your Software Activation File (SAF).

If you have a SAF file - If you have a SAF file, click the Browse button and browse to the location of your SAF file now.  Click the Next button.

If you don't have a SAF file - If you don't have a SAF file, or you don't know what a SAF file is, you can skip this step and continue with the installation.  You can install the SAF file at a later time.  Click here for help in obtaining and manually installing a SAF file.  Click the Next button.

  1. The Program Group, Program Icons, Desktop Shortcuts dialog will be displayed.  We recommend using the default values.  Click the Next button.

  2. The Launch Selected Items dialog will be displayed.  Choose any items that you wish to be launched immediately after the installation is completed.  Click the Finish button.

  3. The Web-to-Host Wizard files will now be installed.  When complete, you will receive the following message: "BlueZone Web-to-Host installation has completed successfully".

  4. Click the OK button.  The BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizard is  now installed.  A desktop shortcut called BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizard will automatically be placed on your desktop.

  5. Any items that you previously selected in the Launch Selected Items dialog, will launch now.

NOTE  The following steps apply to Microsoft Windows 2003 Servers only.  If you have just installed the Web-to-Host Wizard on a Windows 2000 Server, the installation is now complete.  You can launch the Web-to-Host Wizard from the desktop shortcut.

For Windows 2003 Server installations, please continue here:

Due to improved security features of the Microsoft Windows 2003 Server operating system, additional configuration is required.

By default, on Microsoft Windows 2003 Servers, Internet Information Services (IIS), is configured to allow the downloading of certain common files like .htm, .html, .gif, .jpg, etc.  IIS stores them in a list called the MIME Types list.  All file extensions that are not registered via the MIME Types list, can not be downloaded from the web server.  Since BlueZone Web-to-Host requires the downloading of files that are not on the list, these file types will have to be added before BlueZone Web-to-Host can operate.

For your convenience, we have provided a VBScript that will automatically add the required file types to the MIME Types list.

  1. On the BlueZone CD-ROM , browse to the BlueZone Web-to-Host folder and locate the file called "mime_map.vbs".

  2. Run the script, by double clicking it.

  3. The script will run (very quickly) and you will receive the following message: "BlueZone MIME Types Successfully Added".

Congratulations!  You have successfully installed the BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizard.
