Windows Security and DLL Searching

1. Make sure all of the Windward Reports DLLs are either in the GAC (they are placed there when you install the engine) or in this webapp's bin subdirectory.
2. Do not build the program under Program Files where it is installed. This will not work under the default security mode for Vista not for the locked down mode for XP. Please copy the project under your My Documents directory before editing, building, and running it.
3. You need to install this webapp in IIS. Generally you will copy it to a directory under c:\Inetpub\wwwroot. You can also run it directly from Visual Studio instead of using IIS.
4. When running under IIS, make sure you set all the MIME types for each report type.
