That is it! I havenīt had any successfull installation in a WIN NT
machine in a normal way!
I have install minivend step by step and per my own hands!
Which perl is in this machine? ActiveState perl?
Have you or your ISP start the minivend server?
Which directory has minivend (catalogroot?, documentroot? or htmlroot?,
minivendroot?)?

Have you copy the script into your html-directory and change the
catalog.cfg with new directory of this script?
Have you copy the script beside the index.html and call this script
directly? This can give you a suggestions about any mistake. Myself, i
have copied the script "simple.exe" to my html-directory and i have
gotten success.

I have visited my ISP and my ISP and i have tried to install minivend
together. It was a painful 8 hours work. I have not had any success to
help my ISP, if i have not get any experiences at home with my own win
machine (WIN95).

First:
Install perl, webserver and minivend in your own machine (WIN95 or WIN98
etc.)
(webserver: apache for win, xtami or PSW from your WIN-CD)
Try again to see the demoshop.

Second:
Go to the minivend mailarchiv and search for WIN NT! I believe, there
are some information that can give you a suggestions!

Good lucks!

Joachim

BTW: My shop runs in a UNIX Box now! Not in a WIN NT Box! :-)
