alhi Posted September 14, 2002 Author Posted September 14, 2002 Well, As I first looked at the files in a Windows enviroment, no files where associated with the install file. When the shop was extracted, and I relised I could write localhost/catalog/install on the browser, everything went smooth. Now it works and I?m impressed :D You must first install osCommerce ;-) take a look at the manual on www.oscdox.com and read the instructions given there. HTH
