   1. In the Amazon EC2 instance, run Internet Explorer from the Start menu.

   1. Using Internet Explorer in your Amazon EC2 instance, type https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-sdk-samples/.NET/BaseImageGallery.zip in your browser's address bar.

      Note

      This is a case-sensitive URL. This zip file is a .NET application; however we are not going to delve into the details of .NET. Instead we’ll “paste and modify” the application.

   2. When the File Download dialog box appears, click Save As. Save the file to c:\ImageGallery.

      Note

      If you receive an error that Internet Explorer is unable to download the file, close the error dialog and try downloading the application again inside the same browser window.

   3. Paste the contents of the ImageGallery folder (found inside the zip file) into this directory, so that individual files sit directly under C:\ImageGallery.
