IIS 7.0 on Windows Vista

I had a HORRIBLE time getting Vista up and running. It wasn’t hard to install but getting software properly installed was a problem. My issue came from the fact I didn’t format my harddrive, for good reasons. Without a fresh HD I still had old registry information, files, etc. I fought with it for a bit then searched online and found David Wang’s blog, from Microsoft, where he had a post showcasing an install script for installing IIS 7.0 Beta. I tried it but it just kept failing. You’ll see some of my trials in the comments. :-)

Here is the script David provided:

start /w pkgmgr /l:log.etw /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-HttpRedirect;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-ODBCLogging;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-WindowsAuthentication;IIS-DigestAuthentication;IIS-ClientCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-URLAuthorization;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-IPSecurity;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn;IIS-FTPPublishingService;IIS-FTPServer;IIS-FTPManagement;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI

I had to format my HD, reinstall Vista fresh, then run the script for me to get IIS 7.0 installed and working. The manager looks REALLY nice although I haven’t tried anything yet so I don’t know how well it works. :-) I’m just thrilled to get IIS setup which allows me to get Visual Studio (‘03 & ‘05) installed properly.

Thanks David!
