Configuring virtual directories for the IIS Web server

You create a virtual directory for WebSpeed static files so that the Web server can find them. (The other alternative is to copy the static files to the Web server's Document Root directory.) You can think of a virtual directory as an alias for install_dir\tty\webtools, the directory where the WebSpeed install places the static files.
You can use the IIS Web server's Internet Service Manager to set up virtual directories. The Internet Service Manager can usually be found under the Administrative Tools section of the Windows Control Panel. When it is running, select Default Web Site. Then select Action > New > Virtual Directories. A wizard takes you through the process of creating a virtual directory.
Note: These directories should not be marked as "executable."
