   and create Virtual Directory
   
   Alias: ReleaseManager
   Path: C:/release_manager
   Allow Permissions: Read=YES, RunScripts=YES (allothers=NO)

   It is optional that application is running in its own Application Pool
   for easy restart in the future.

   Run regsvr32 LoginAdmin.dll to register this library.

   This library is part of Access Manager source code.

4. To aquire a key all you need to do is run the plink command the first time and accept the key.
   e.g. plink -ssh <username>@<hostname>
   This will generate a key in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys]

5. Run regedit and Copy key to default user. See example below.
   [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys]

========================= FAQs ====================================

1. Q: Generating release notes with scripts in script folder does not work. 
      I am getting "Permission Denied" messsage.

   A: IIS 6 by default cannot run cmd.exe and cscript.exe. This will unable you to run the scripts.
      Go to location of cmd.exe and cscript.exe and allow IUSR_<hostname> user to read and execute.


2. Q: When I click on published files like .doc, .exe, .log etc., IIS reports that page cannot be
      found. This will disable you from downloading files from dpkg_archive file systems.

   A: IIS does not have these extentions in MIME types list. Open IIS Manager, Properties -> HTTP Header tab
      for your virtual directory. Add MIME Types one by one or just use * wild card for all. Wild card is
      unsafe to use.
