5. Create a directory under c:\, for example, c:\plugin.
6. Copy the plugin-cfg.xml file to the c:\plugin directory.
7. Copy iisWASPlugin_http.dll file to the c:\plugin directory.
8. Select Start , All Programs, Administrative Tools, Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on a Windows Server 2008 operating system.
