The IBuySpy Store's directory structure looks complex at first glance. When you install it on your PC, your directory tree will be four-levels deep. Here is a sketch of the tree:

The top-level hierarchy is StoreDOCJS. But this level is just for the installation phase. The real root of the tree is the lower StoreDOCJS folder. When installing a virtual directory on the IIS server, remember to point to the lower StoreDOCJS. The StoreDOCJS folder includes all ASP.NET pages and controls. Underneath StoreDOCJS, there are three folders: bin, components, and docs. The bin folder includes the binaries generated during the JScript compilation of the components. The components folder includes sources for all components, and a make file for their compilation and linking. The docs folder includes the documentation pages.
