Within the above neosys web site folder create a virtual directory called data linked to D:\neosys\data:

In the IIS Default Web Site create a another virtual directory called neosys.w3c linked to D:\neosys\neosys.w3c (only if timesheets for mac is required):

To allow file uploads – create a folder IMAGES under D:\neosys and within the neosys web site folder create a virtual directory called images linked to D:\neosys\images:

After you add all virtual directories the tree map of the Default Website should look as follows:

To configure file uploads besides adding the images directory, go under IIS > Default Website > neosys – click on Handler Mappings and delete the ISAPI you see there:

Thereafter click on Add Script Map and fill in the details as follows – Request path: *.dll , Executable: D:\neosys\neosys.net\NEOSYS\dll\upload.dll , Name: ISAPI (once you click on OK click on YES to the confirmation box)

Edit the hosts file under c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ - delete the # sign next to 127.0.0.1 localhost and incluide the # sign before ::1 localhost
