  4. The files will be extracted to the c:ISA Beta 3 CD folder

  5. Click OK to the finish dialog

To install perform the following either from the CD or the c:ISA Beta 3 CDfolder:

  2. Click Continue

  3. Enter the CD key NNN-NNNNNNN and click OK

  4. The product ID will be shown, click OK

  6. The next screen allows you to specify the installation directory (by default, %systemDrive%Program FilesMicrosoft ISA Server) and the installation type
    - Full - This will install all the components and optional extras
    - Custom - You can select the exact components that will be installed

  7. If you selected Custom then a list of options will be displayed. Make your selections and click Continue
