webproductsuk can compile a complete website or WEB service into a stand alone executable file that can be run on any Windows platform. When the site is compiled the end-result is an EXE file that includes an ASP-compatible web server. The end-program is completely stand-alone - the end-users do not have to install any additional software (IIS, PWS etc) to run the ASP pages.

The most common form of delivery is via CD. An auto-run feature can allow an application to be burned to a CD and then automatically open up when the CD is inserted into a PC.

Customised versions of web applications can be produced where some of the data may be client specific or sensitive. An example of a Virtual Server CD application is a product catalogue that carries Trade pricing.

Virtual server CDs are ideal for presentations of data driven systems where no Internet access is available. Applications can include any kind of media file including, images, audio & video.

One benefit of this type of application is the ability to present dynamic data without an internet connection. The stand alone server removes the problem of slow internet connections and timeouts as database queries are being processed. Applications can also be run directly from a hard disc making them a perfect platform for sales people out in the field using laptops.

Potential applications:

• Catalogs such as Trade parts price catalogue.
• Distribution of web sites as a presentation CDROM
• Touch Screen Presentations for exhibitions
• Bespoke versions of web applications
• Secure CD applications with userlogin
