Khan,

  Open the apps config.json in the main folder in a text editor and change the "portalUrl": to a http url instead of https.

Also add the woff and woff2 mime types to your web server.

Khan,

   When you run your WAB app in WAB Dev it uses NodeJS for a web server. When you deploy the app to your machine you need to be sure you have a web server installed. In your case you need to be sure IIS is installed on your Windows 7 machine and you are deploying the app to your IIS inetpub\wwwroot folder.

Khan,

   NodeJS is packaged with WAB Dev, you do not have to do anything on your own for that. So you say IIS is installed on your machine so when you go to http://localhost you get an image like this?

IIS is working properly , my other apps working but WAB downloaded  file from  my app not working , i test it another machine only blue  loading page display & map not showing. Don't  know why? I just copy downloaded extracted files to wwwroot folder. I am on trial licence.

Khan,

   What is the url you are trying to use to browse to your app?

What is the exact file directory path to your apps folder (i.e. c:\inetpub\wwroot\xyz)?

Khan,

  When you open the test folder in windows explorer do you see the index.html file or is it under another folder?

OK, so it is getting to the app it is just not loading completely. That is helpful. Can you share a screenshot of the browsers console errors?
