I'm working on a Server 2008 32 bit machine with IIS 7.0. I would like to install/enable the "Configuration Editor" because I don't see it by default when I select the server in the connections tree view. I thought it was supposed to come installed on IIS 7, but this article seems to indicate a need for an additional download.
"The IIS 7.0 Administration Pack adds to the set of management features that ship with IIS 7.0 "...https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/administration-pack
I tried to download the "Administration Pack" per the article above, but all links to this are broken.
I've looked through the features and file services in the server manager, but I don't see an option to install. Is this part of another package that I need to enable? Are there other functional download links for the administration pack?
Which OS/Server are you using ?
Configuration Editor is included in Adminisration Pack for IIS 7.0.
The functionality of the Administration Pack was integrated into the Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows 7 installation. You don't need to install additional Extension since IIS 7.5

I need to set up a server to run ASP.NET application on it.
But I can not install IIS7 can be an article "Step by Step"?
I like doing everything as here, but the transition to localhost do not show
I would recommend the web platform installer - see here it will allow you to very easily download and install the latest IIS7 release or if you prefer the IIS7 Express version
To install IIS:
In Windows, access the Control Panel and click
Programs.
In the Programs window, click Network and Internet.
Select the Internet Information Services (IIS)
check box, then click Ok.

I have installed ASP.NET along with my Visual Studio, but when I tried to create a website from File-->New Website and put Location as http and language as C# it throws an error. I have installed IIS manager 7 in the machine but when I check in Services.msc IISadmin is not listed, but I do have a directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\
Installing the umbrella 'IIS' is not enough. You have to go deeper into IIS in Windows Features and physically select everything that error dialog tells you to install.
You need to install those features as well.
If you're running Windows 7 Home Basic and Starter Editions, you may not get all of them as available options.

check from the window features if iis components are all installed.
I have an application that I am wrapping up in an installer. I would like to, either through the registry, or by writing a script, enable IIS 6 metabase compatibility in IIS 7.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
You should be able to use dism.exe or pkgmgr.exe or ocsetup.exe to automate the installation of this component. You can technically do this these days because Windows Vista ( as far as I know ) always caches the WIM file needed to install the component.
Still, I wouldn't do it. I'd just upgrade to InstallShield 2010 which has native II7 capabilities. Or you could use Windows Installer XML 3.5 which has the same. You eliminate the dependency and simplify the deployment in the process.
If you decide to do it anyways, check out this good article:

I've been bashing my head against this one for a few days, and haven't had any luck with it. I'm unable to get my VS2010 ASP.NET project to deploy to IIS. I receive the error
"Unable to create the virtual directory. To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS Components
IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility
ASP.NET
In addition, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an Administrator Account"
I've most certainly installed the metabase option, but it still shows up. I'm also not sure why it's telling me to install ASP.NET.
Google is being entirely unhelpful, I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions. I'm running Vista Ultimate 64Bit
You've started VS2010 with 'run as Administrator', otherwise you might not have enough rights to do such a thing.
Also, the virtual dir doesn't already exist within the default IIS website?
This article describes "Using Visual Studio 2008 with IIS 7" but the principles likely apply to VS2010 and Vista also. [http://www.iis.net/learn/develop/using-visual-studio-with-iis/using-visual-studio-2008-with-iis][1]
I am using both VS2005 & VS2010 to develop websites that use a deployment project, which creates a setup.exe and project.msi files. I wanted to know why IIS 6 Metabase compatibility is required, but still do not really understand it. If absent, the installer quits very early with a message that the installation was 'not installed correctly', nothing more. It seems like a kludge between existing MS development tools and IIS 7.
New laptop, new operating system. Windows Vista premium.
I've installed Visual Studio and IIS 7.0.
I open my web project in visual studio and vist the properties view for the web app.
The webDev server is currently selected.
I select IIS instead and I get the warning IIS telling me I need to install IIS 6.0 configuration compatability/meta base and windows authentication
All those are installed apart from windows authentication (which I am told is not supported for Vista Home Premium).
Is it possible to configure my web apps to run on IIS (I will also need debugging capability)
You need to turn on Windows Features on for IIS 6.0 configuration
Just go Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off.
In opened window choose which configuration is you want to configure your web application
