Alex,

How can I install MailBee in a webhost?
I'm developing the website for a customer, who does not have a proper webserver!

Sory, I'm still learning English! ;-(

If I understand you correctly, you mean how to install WebMail Pro on shared hosting server where you're not allowed to run .exe files to install components required by WebMail's ASP scripts.

Thus, to install WebMail Pro on such server, you can use installation_instructions.html from WebMail package as a main guide, with the following exceptions:

Instead of running MailBee.exe, take MailBee.dll from the your existing WebMail installation (by default, this file is installed in "C:\Program Files\MailBee\MailBee.dll" and send it to support staff of the shared hosting server. They must place this file to the location they use for ActiveX server components, and register MailBee.dll as COM object with regsvr32 tool.

Repeat the procedure above for messagecensor.exe. By default, MC.dll is installed in "C:\Program Files\MessageCensor\MC.dll".

MessageCensor component requires VB6 runtime in order to run. Usually, it's already installed on the server. If not, ask the support staff to install it from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=bf9 a24f9-b5c5-48f4-8edd-cdf2d29a79d5&displaylang=en
. This link points to .exe file but usually it's ok because hosters are known to trust downloads from Microsoft.

Also, ask their support team to make sure that:
- you have access to database (and have all necessary credentials (e.g. username/password/DSN) if SQL Server is used)
- WebMail's 'data' directory has 'Full Control' permissions for IIS default user account IUSR_YOUR_SERVER_NAME

Should you have more questions, please feel free to ask.

Regards,
Alex
