i tried to set up the waa on an Windows 2003 Server IIS as follows:

waa1gate.cfg in dir   C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv
contents of waa1gate.cfg:
   hostname = localhost
   port     = 1024
   docroot  = \Inetpub\wwwroot

waa1gate.isa in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin
in the dir \Inetpub\wwwroot, i copied the WAA sample files (changed 
waa1gate.exe into waa1gate.isa in the htm-files).
When i open  index.htm and click on "My First HTML Page ", the page opens.
When I enter a name and click on "Send it" the message below appears.

Content-type:tex/html
Server Error
Cannot open file \Inetpub\wwwroot\waapwr.gif0) No error

I couldn't find a waapwr.gif in the waa samples, so i tried to put such a 
file in the wwwroot-dir. Nothing changed.
I haven't found until now, where the call of this this file is placed.
What can be wrong ?
any ideas ?

This is a resource in one of the WAA dll's.  You can avoid the issue
entirely by:

  a) waa1gate.cfg set the document root by using an absolute path from the
root of the drive.

  b) Instead of using oHtml:footer(), use oHtml:put('</body></html>')

Thank you Phil,
the complete path in the waa1gate.cfg didn't help but the change from 
oHtml:footer() into oHtml:put('</body></html>').
Seems like the waa1srv.exe tries to put this file in the docroot. Perhaps in 
my IIS configuration i have to set the correct right.
Until now I have no idea which rights are necessary to use the original 
sample dlls.
But now i have a workaround to do some experimental work on it.

thanks a lot

I'd simply use the workaround instead of accidentially creating security
problems on a web server  

As an additional "goodie", you get rid of the WAA-Sign at the end of each
page.

AFAIK, the WAA logo is hard coded in WAA. It can be switched off using
SET environment variables. Include in your STARTWAA.BAT file

SET WAA_GIF_LOGO=OFF
SET MEA_CULPA=OFF

This will work until someone changes the logic for automatic logo
inclusion.
