1)  Go to the Control Panel.
2)  If the setting on the top right is for "View by Category", then change it to "Small Icons".
3)  Click "Administrative Tools"
4)  In the "Administrative Tools" window that opens, look for "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager". 
     a)  If it exists, click it to open. 
     b)  If not, switch windows back to the Control Panel.
         1  Click "Programs and Features". 
         2  Click "Turn Windows Features on or off".  In the new window that opens, select all of the following items - 
make sure that there are check marks (not black squares) in the boxes (you may have to click the plus symbols to select sub-items 
in order to get the check marks):  "Internet Information Services", "Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core", and "Simple 
Network Management Protocol (SNMP)".  Click OK to apply.
         3  When the features are completely installed, go back to item 4) above.
5)  When the "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" window opens, look in the left pane.  (By the way, you may get a pop-up 
window asking if you want to "Get started with Microsoft Web Platform ...".  You can click "No" to this.)  At the top, it will 
have your computer's name.  Click it, and beneath it will appear two items:  "Application Pools" and "Sites".
     a)  Click "Application Pools".  On the right pane, you will see a few items:  .NET v(whatever), Classic .NET..., and 
"DefaultAppPool". 
         1  Right-click "DefaultAppPool" and choose "Advanced Settings".
         2  The second item from the top in the new window will be "Enable 32-Bit Applications".  Set this to "True".  
Click OK.
     b)  Back in the "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" window, click the + symbol next to "Sites".  Click "Default 
Web Site".  In the bottom center pane, look for "ASP" (It should be the first item.).  Right-click it and select "Open Feature". 
         1  If you wish to choose a default "Code Page" (this controls font display on your site), click the first item.  
The typical code page for Danish is 865, for English (and most European characters) is 1252.  If you want to leave it selectable 
by software, leave it as 0.
         2  Now select the 2nd item "Enable Buffering".  Set this to "True".
         3  Now select the 5th item "Enable Parent Paths".  Set this to "True".
         4  Now select the 11th item "Script Language".  Set this to "VBScript".
         5  Expand "Session Properties" and select the 1st item "Enable Session State".  Set this to "True".
         6  Click "Apply" at the top of the right pane.
6)  Now, to add your forum, hold down the "Windows" key on your keyboard (looks like the Microsoft flag) and hit the letter R 
one time.  It will open the run command prompt.
     a)  Type the following into the command box:  "Explorer %systemdrive%\inetpub\wwwroot" (with or without the 
quotation marks) and click OK.  You can either copy your forum folder into the folder that opens or you can leave it elsewhere 
as a "virtual" path.  It's your choice.
     b)  If you want to leave it somewhere else, we'll have to switch back to the "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" 
window.
         1  In the left pane, right-click "Default Web Site" (near the top).  Choose the 4th item "Add Virtual Directory". 
         2  In the window that opens, type the folder name (or an alias, e.g. "forum") in the top box.  For the second 
box, click the browse button ("...") and browse to the folder containing your forum files.  Click "OK" and then "OK" again in 
the virtual directory window.  Your forum folder (regardless of where it's located) should now show up beneath the "Default Web 
Site" heading.
7)  In the "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" window, click "Error Pages" in the center pane.  Now, in the right 
pane, click "Edit Feature Settings".  Set it to "Detailed Errors" and click "OK".
8)  You're done.  To test, open a browser and go to "http://localhost/forum_folder_name" (replace "forum_folder_name" with
whatever you gave in the alias box).
