When I run WAA I get the "socketListen failed" error.  What causes this, and 
how can I resolve it?

Most likely there is already some service running that uses the same port
as your WAA instance.

Try netstat -a on the command line or better use tcpview from sysinternals
to find out which program causes this.

Ok, that was it.  I changed WAA to use port 1025 instead.

But now I have another problem.  When I try to run the program using 
/WAA1GATE.EXE, IIS gives me a 404 (File Not Found) error.

Why is that?  The file is in the \INETPUB\WWWROOT folder along with the CFG 
file, and the server and WAA1GATE config files set the port to 1025.

I am using IIS.

This was working before, but not sure why not.  I also set the Windows 
Firewall to allow port 1025, but without success.

Sorry - I haven't used IIS for ages, only Apache - so I'm no big help in
that area. Maybe others might jump in to help.

Hallo Thomas,

Your receive this error message, because the IIS is not able to find
waa1gate.exe. Usually CGI gateways and ISAPI packages are to be deployed
in dedicated folders. Please refer to the IIS documentation for details.

In case of the waa gateway waa1gate.exe the waa1gate.cfg file should be
deployed at the same directory where the exe resides. In case you like
to use the waa1gate.isa/waa1gate.dll ISAPI package, the configuration
file is to be deployed in c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\.

With my best regards,
