This step deals with configuring a virtual directory. You can choose a path and make it a Web virtual directory.

Pick your Web Server

This step is always required, so make sure you select the correct Web Server from the list of servers.

Creating the Virutal Directorty

In order to create a virtual directory you have to specify the virtual directory as well as the path that this directory is to refer to. Virtual directories in general are used to provide logical access to a physical path on the hard disk - you can map a non-Web path (like d:\somepath) logically into the Web so that it can be accessed as http://localhost/myvirtual/. Virtuals also serve as an application entity - Cookies, Authentication and rights always apply from a given virtual downward, so in general it's a good idea to create virtuals for an application's base path (if it's not running at the root of the Web server).

If you're installing Web Connection for the first time and you will always run out of the root directory you will probably want to create a wconnect directory to hold the wc.dll and config files.
