2.Make sure at least the following components are selected:
◦Internet Information Services
◦Internet Information Services -> Web Management Tools -> IIS Management Console
◦Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services Application Development Features -> ISAPI Extensions

3.After the installation, type "localhost" in your browser. A page with the IIS logo should come up if IIS is installed
4.Compile the example to a dll and place it in "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\IsapiExample.dll".
◦Note that you probably cannot compile directly to the folder due to permissions, so compile somewhere else and then move the file there with explorer.
◦If your system is 64bit, you should compile the dll using PBx64. You can run 32bit ISAPI extensions, but it requires extra configuration and I did not actually try that.

5.Open "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" from the Startmenu
6.Select the root of the tree on the left and then open "Handler Mappings" in the main view
7.Select the entry named "isapi-dll", right-click and select "Edit..."
8.In the "Executable" field, enter "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\IsapiExample.dll"
9.Click "Request Restrictions" and on the "Access" tab make sure "Execute" is selected. Hit ok on the second dialog.
10.Hit ok on the first dialog. A requester is shown asking if you want to allow the extension. Click "Yes".
◦What this does is create an entry under "ISAPI and CGI restrictions" on the main page. You can also add an entry there manually or later allow/deny an extension there

11.In your browser, open "http://localhost/IsapiExample.dll". If all worked right, you should see the example page generated by the dll.
