Installing IIS

How to install IIS in Windows 7?

Since my operating system (OS) is Windows 7, I will write about how to install IIS in Windows 7. IIS is an abbreviate for Internet Information Services. IIS is test server for Active Server Pages (ASP). Anyone who wish to learn about ASP, you can install IIS for you to test the website that you had developed.

I had install IIS in my laptop using the guide that had been given. Although the guide is for Windows XP Pro, it still can be used because the steps involved is still the same. The differences may in the arrangement of the icons or the icons itself. Just get familiar with the icon.

Step by step IIS installation:

Before proceed to the IIS installation, go to C drive and check whether there is any folder name inetpub. If the folder is exist it mean your machine already install with IIS. If the folder is not exist DO NOT create it manually. (this is what my lecturer highlighted in class).. hehe.. Now check for IIS in administrative tools. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Check for Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. If you cant see the IIS, you need to install it.



1. Go to Start, click Control Panel.
2. Click Programs. In Programs menu, choose Turn Windows features on and off under Programs and      features.

3. Locate the IIS and tick it. Then, click OK.


4. Wait until finish.
