Hi Sam,

how do you know it's installed and running?

Sam,

Did you click on the "read more" link to the right of the problem and then work through what it says to do?

Is it Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro? I know Vicky had problems getting Windows 8, IIS & VDF 17.1 for last years training at the Corroboree. Perhaps give her a call ?

I'm just running the standard Windows 8 edition and everything works well, no Pro needed. Pro adds some other features (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compare), but none that are needed to run DataFlex, Windows or Web.

I believe the system was Windows 8. The problem was eventually fixed which involved a virtual house-call from a Microsoft techie. Not sure what the cause was but may have had something to do with the OEM release of the OS installed.

Hi Guys,

Will be looking at this again today and let you the outcome. Will post the resolution .. IIS is definitely running as when you go to IE and type local host the default IIS website comes up straight away ..
