Can IIS / CXP be installed without installing all of the development 
components? In my Alaska download area, I only have a download for 
"Xbase++ 2.0, Professional Edition" which seems to install the full 
development environment, and takes care of configuring IIS to work with 
CXP files.

I would like to deploy my Alaska web application onto one of my 
customers machines - no development environment is required.

I just need to configure their current IIS installation to handle the 
execution of CXP files.  CGI is enabled on their server.

Is this possible without installing the full Alaska package?

Also, what are the licence constraints when doing this i.e. does my 
development licence cover the installation Alaska on my clients sites 
(IIS) without an additional licence being required?

Thanks,

Mark.

There is short section in help files that can be easily missed writing:

"Only the Xbase+++ for Web product feature is required for using CXP. 
This will install the Compiled Xbase++ Pages as well as configure the 
IIS for CXP. "

--------------------------------------------------------
Configuration of web server-based CXP
The configuration of a web server for CXP is the same for all web 
servers supporting FastCGI, which is a prerequisite for using CXP in 
conjunction with a web server.

1 First, you need to install FastCGI for your web server.

2 Second, a handler must be set up for your website which routes all 
*.cxp requests (POST/GET/PUT/DELETE...) to the installed FastCGI gateway.

3 Ensure that the handler mapping points to the cxp-worker.exe in your 
\program files\alaska software\cxp20\bin directory.

4 Also check that .cxp is a supported MIME type of your web server.

In the event you are using Microsoft IIS, most of these steps are 
automatically performed for you by the Xbase++ installer. You only need 
to make sure that FastCGI is enabled within IIS prior to installing your 
Xbase++ MSI package. Only the Xbase+++ for Web product feature is 
required for using CXP. This will install the Compiled Xbase++ Pages as 
well as configure the IIS for CXP.

first steps" here: https://youtu.be/G3e_btI7oSU
