The two packages contain the same files, compressed in different fashions:
imageserver_windows.zip
imageserver_unix.tar.gz
Extract the compressed package to your image service folder. The default directory for the image service is install_dir/ptimages/imageserver.

From Administrative Tools, open the Internet Information Services Manager.
In the IIS Web site you specified when installing the Console for SharePoint, these three virtual directories should be present: SharePointCWS, CustomSearch, and SiteFeed.
