im struggling install a website on a given server from my client, which already has IIS but seem like it wasn't working well.
After a few attempts, I tried to reinstall the IIS, and from some article i heard that I must remove the Windows Activation Process Service.
Then, in a moment of stupidity I ran the command sc delete service was in Powershell. After that I realized I should user the Server manager to Uninstall/Install. So I tried to uninstall then install it again, and reset the server. But now Windows Activation Process Service doesnt appear in the Services list anymore (run --> services.msc).
Could you tell me how to install it properly now? Thank you so much.
Silly me, I remove the IIS and reinstall again, now it works. Thanks everyone.

This may be the dumbest question but I have a small problem I am using windows7 and recently I had an issue with my outlook as a result I had to recreate my profile on windows.
since that moment I can't see IIS7.5
I have also tried to use control pannel add windwos feature and I can only find IIS6
The strange thing about this is that I have files hosted in IIS7.5 and when I browse to the web Url(I use custom host) I can go there but creating a new website is impossible as I can't go to IIS 7.5
also browsing to Localhost gives me the indication that IIS7 is installed
What can I do?
I have tried also using the script from Microsoft site link but that wasn't successful and I am wondering what to do really.
also when I type Localhost on any browser I get the big image with IIS7 on it what suggest it is installed.
Just today using manage mycomputer(Win 7), service and application and restarted the IIS Admin service and now I can see the IIS7.5 as per the , but not sure why I can't see it in the accessories on when I do a search for IIS
Thanks
You could always download IIS 7.5 express from Microsoft
There is a similar post in super user forum discussing about the posted issue.
https://superuser.com/questions/752946/iis-manager-disappeared-from-start-menu-and-administrative-tools
Copied from there:
Your system is behaving in an abnormal manner, and it is hard to diagnose that error. It seems like it is caused by some system corruption.
The following tools can diagnose and fix errors in Windows :
sfc /scannow
Scans the integrity of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible.
System Update Readiness Tool for Windows
Scans for Windows corruption errors that prevent Windows updates and service packs from installing.
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
Scans hardware, devices, and installed programs for known compatibility issues, giving guidance on how to resolve potential issues found, and recommends what to do.
Windows Update fixit or Reset Windows Update components
then try again to turn off the IIS Windows feature, reboot, reinstall, reboot.
Full antivirus scan by your current product and in addition at least Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
If running these tools gives no hint as to the problem, the next step is a Repair Install to Fix Windows 7, which fixes the current installation of Windows while preserving user accounts, data, programs, and system drivers.
The last resort, to reinstall Windows from scratch, is not to be taken lightly unless really necessary.
I am trying to setup my asp website in windows 7. I installed that from turn windows feature on or off. which is there in control panel program and features. I installed first time. I set upped Physical path to E:\myfolder. Then i come to know that i forgot to install asp. So I unchecked that Internet information service and given ok. that time its asked for restart the system. I given restart later. Then again checked and and installed. That time i am unable to run my application. Then i closed IIS manager and restarted my system. Now if i give inetmgr in run it is giving error "Windows cannot find inetmgr. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again". So i thought IIS is not properly installed then again i uninstalled and installed. But Not working giving same error... can any one tell me how to solve this problem.?
Please make sure that you have installed IIS properly on your machine and also check that inetmgr.exe file is exist in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv.
Actually whenever you turn windows features on/off you must have to restart the system....otherwise the changes will not reflect properly...
As per above description....
1.you installed iis and then uninstalled....
2.After installing .net you haven't restarted that system and you have installed the IIS(The previous uninstall state will be exists until unless you restart the system)
So, Solution is
Restart the system..try Start -> run -> inetmgr
if IIS is started it is properly installed...if it is not opened and if it gives the above error then go to enable windows features on(i mean install IIS then)....
The only solution is proper restrart after doing any change....
I have installed Web Deploy 3.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and tried to run remote publish web application through visual studio 2012. However, I got the error - Destination Not Reachable.
I read some post and checked below and still got no luck.
Firewall was off
Both Web Management Service and Web Deployment Agent Service were restarted and running
Tried to open https://[server]:8172/msDeploy.axd in a browser and it is reachable. (Use default 8172)
Tried to use http://[server]/MsDeployAgentService and it is working with Admin username/password.
Did I miss anything? Thanks.
Maybe same issue as in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16708021/msdeploy-wmsvc-not-working ?
It appears you have to activate the web management service first and
then install web deploy and i'd done it the other way round. I
uninstalled WebDeploy and re-installed it, restarted the server and
its working
I also met the same problem. When installing WebDeploy, do not choose classic installation, but choose complete installation.
If you messed with SSL certificates this could be one of the causes as well:

I've been at this all day, trying to get Web Deployment setup on my server. First off, I'm running IIS7 under Windows Server 2008 Data Center 64bit (on a VPS). At first I thought I had it working, but it seems I was using the old (Windows Administrator login only) IIS6 stuff that comes alongside IIS7.
I've followed this guide perfectly, and I'm still getting errors: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/516/configure-the-web-deployment-handler/.
This is the error I receive (as per the directions at the end of the article): http://i.imgur.com/1HC7F.png
Any help is appreciated. I've tried everything (I've verified all the basic things like LOCAL SERVICE folder access, IIS Manager permissions, the service is active, etc).
Thanks, I know someone on SO knows this stuff ^_^.
having a real problem getting VS2010 to debug IIS.
I've searched on the internet for a few days now and tried every single solution I can. VS2008 works perfectly but I've installed VS2010 and when trying to debug an IIS site (by pressing F5 on a project that uses IIS) I get the error message
"unable to start debugging on the web server. Microsoft Visual Studio Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) failed to start. If this problem persists, please repair your Visual installation via "add or remove programs" in the control panel."
when i try attaching the process manually, i get the same message.
I've tried repairing the software. I tried it, it failed, so I uninstalled using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Uninstall Utility (http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2010uninstall/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4321), then reinstalled and it still has the same problem. With the SP1 update this still happens. I can run the website fine when running "start without debugging" and it runs fine.
I've gone through all the guides I can and all tried all the settings on IIS I can and still no luck. I'm using Windows 7 64bit if that means anything. I can detail much more about all the things i've tried.
also have a laptop and have done the same, installing VS2010 and TFS (also on win7 64bit), and this works perfectly for debugging. Didn't have to mess around at all. I can't see any difference between this and my PC with the problem. I'm scratching my head here and thinking I might have to format my PC and try again from a fresh install (which would be seriously annoying!)
Thanks to anyone that reads this,

I had a HOSTS file entry resolving the project URL to a DEV server instead of local machine. Changing the entry to point to 127.0.0.1 fixed the problem.
Are you installing from a purchased disc or did you download it? Either way, you need to download a fresh copy and install that (sounds like original is corrupted).
Also, make sure you have all the IIS & Web components installed on your machine. Is your OS home or basic?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731911.aspx
i've fixed it now. ended up formatting machine, reinstalling windows 7, and then taking backups everytime i installed a new program so i could roll back. installed VS2010 first, F5 worked. then installed VS2008 & everything else and debugging still works on VS2010. not sure what happened as the above problem happened on a fresh install. something must have corrupted something somewhere
thanks for all your help and narrowing this problem down to something that was worth formatting my PC to fix.
cheers,

This can also be caused if you are using a host name in IIS and make a mistake in your hosts file.
Check that the hosts ip is set to the local machine 127.0.0.1 and not somewhere else. In my case I had accidentally set it to the development server.
Have you tried starting MSVSMON manually? I had the same problem you are and found the service was stopped. So I tried enabling the service and made sure that it was using the correct credentials.
I hope this helps!
Thanks!

The only thing that worked for me after I tried practically every solution on the Web is to right-click the project on the solution explorer, and select Debug->Debug as Administrator.
Right click on Project, "Use Custom web server" checkbox will be selected, select check box "Use local IIS web server".
I resolved this issue with this and its working.
Managed to resolve this error by At solution explorer-> right click the project->select Debug->Start new instance.
I think it was because i had copied the project folder from another server.
