Help - configuration for Win 95 Apache Minivend 1.3

[atech@InfoAve.Net]

 Does minivend work on Apache Win 95, and what do I need to type in to
 get it to work on my localhost - C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs
 directory ?

  I am trying to run Minivend 1.3 on a Win 95 Apache 1.1.3 server. 
  I have the newest version of activestate perl 5 and all the 
  modules needed to process database scripts.  I can get Minivend 
  through the configuration process without an error, however when 
  I reach the web page that tells me to >> try it << I get a file 
  not found error. Everything is in the default directory. Here is 
  one example I tried.

Home directory for a virtual domain 
(I always type in)

C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs


Catalog name:  cat1
   
Template to use: simple
 
 
Server name:    127.0.0.1

Catalog Directory:  C:/mvend/catalogs/cat1

( These next few lines are probably where I am going wrong.
  I have tried many different combinations, but without any 
  success. )

HTML directory:  C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html
( I added the html file name because that is one of the examples 
  in >> Often it is: << )

CGI Directory:  C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html

Base URL for CGI: /scripts
 
Catalog HTML: C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html/cat1
  
HTML URL:  http://127.0.0.1/html/cat1
  
(Images come up fine so I will skip that part )

CGI URL and ALIASES:    /scripts/cat1.exe
                        /cat1

This is how my final page reads before initialization of cat1.

Configuration
Wizard  Check the information: 

Catalog name:    cat1 
Directory:    C:/mvend/catalogs/cat1 
 

URLs       http://127.0.0.1/html/cat1
to call    http://127.0.0.1/html/cat1/scripts/cat1.exe
catalog:

HTML to:    C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html/cat1 

Images to:    C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html
                /cat1/images 
Link mode:    INET 

Add to  minivend.cfg file   yes 
Running server              yes  
  
  Minivend server says - "Rconfig of cat1 successful" but when I get to the
  try it page I click on the link and get the file not found error.
  I look in Apache and there is a html/cat1 file in
  C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs and I can get to the 
  index page and click on any link I get file not found errors.
  cat1.exe is located in C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs, but
  not in C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html/cat1/scripts
  where I thought it should be. There is no scripts file or tlink
  program anywhere in my Apache server. I do have apache server running
  and cgi program will work on any web page in my apache setup. 
  I have tried many different configurations, but I still get the
  same problem.  This is the only other error I received when trying
  different URLs
     
  Couldn't copy link executable from C: /mvend/bin/tlink.exe to C...
  
  I have tried 20 to 30 different configurations, and each time I 
  erase all files created during setup ( c:/mvend, /html/cat1 , cat1.exe )
  and start all over from scratch. Is there a configuration I am missing ?
