==============================================
After you have the Feature.xml and Elements.xml files, you can deploy them into your
SharePoint Template\Features directory. After they are in the directory, use the following
stsadm.exe command to install the Feature:

Stsadm –o installfeature –filename FeatureDirectory\Feature.xml

Use the following stsadm.exe command to activate the Feature on your website (make
sure you change the relative directory paths and URLs to match your configuration):

Stsadm –o activatefeature –filename FeatureDirectory\Feature.xml –url

➥“http://server/web site”
After you install and activate the Feature, you must run iisreset for SharePoint to start
making use of the newly registered event receivers.
