fpWeb and IIS

I've done OneGate and IIS.  Getting fP itself to run should be identical
for both, as far as PFDIR, et al.  The other paths you're talking about I
guess are necessary for fPWeb itself as documented.  Default locations for
the -default- web site under IIS would be:

c:/inetpub/wwwroot  (equivalent of htdocs)
c:/inetpub/cgi-bin  (cgi-bin, obviously)

Merge is arbitrary on any OS to the best of my knowledge.  I've seen it all
over the place.

You're also going to want to watch your permissions on scripts.  Set the
user on them to be the same user that runs filePro and owns filePro's
directory.  By default, it will be a "sandboxed" user account.  That won't
always mesh with your setup (say, if fP was installed as Administrator and
you need those rights to run fP or use the files).
