    The Add File dialog box opens.

  5. Click the Browse button, and then navigate to the ISAPI60AffiliateAgent.dll file in the web_agent_home/bin/plugins directory. If the proper file does not appear, click the Files of type drop-down list and select ISAPI dll files.
  6. Click Open

    The path to the file appears in the Add File dialog box.

  7. Click OK.

    You return to the New Web Service Extension dialog box.
