Step 1 Deploy WebAPP Kit to your web server.
It is very easy to deploy AthTek WebXone to the web server. Please upload all the three files in 'WWW' folder to the ROOT or a specified path on your web server, then use the url: http://yourdomain.com/yourpath/index.htm to test it. If you can see the Welcome page, this means you have already successfully deployed WebXone. Learn More >> -
Step 2 Edit your project in Delphi.
Open your project in Delphi, then you need to change the form name to 'Form_Wxo', save the Unit as 'Main.pas' and save the project as '*.dpr' format file. Compile and run (F9) this project to check if there were any error. After that you need to copy the two files in subfolder '\webapp_kit\Include' and paste them to the same folder with the project files. Open the 'wxodemo.dpr' file with Delphi7 and run it.

Step 3 Upload the created internet application to web server.
After step2 you will find there is a new file named 'wxodemo.wxo'. This is the internet application. Please rename it with your customized name in lower case characters and upload it to where you save the project files on web server. Then you would be able to access the new internet application with the link: http://yourdomain.com/yourpath/index.htm?id=custom in IE or IE core browsers.
