Manually creating the LobbyCentral web application in IIS
The LobbyCentral installer will automatically create the Application Pool and Application reference. By default, the application pool is called "LobbyCentral" and the application is installed under Default Web Site. This is the recommended practice.
However, you may opted to do this manually by clicking the "Skip IIS installation" box during installation. This is useful in cases where you do not want the application to be installed under the Default Web Site.
Please note that you must have an application pool set to use the .NET Framework 4.0. It is highly recommended that you do not share this pool with other applications. An Application Pool is designed to isolate applications from other each other. This prevents a poorly designed app from crashing other applications.
These steps apply to Windows Server 2008 or higher.
