Not able to create an ASP.NET website with visual studio 2008

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.

How can I create a WIX installer that will install both to IIS6 and IIS7

I'm uing various different versions of WIX trying to get an installer to be able to install to both IIS versions. I've heard that WIX doesn't natively support IIS7 so one must make a CA to provide the functionality
Does anyone have an example of how to create functionality which can do this? I've already got an installer to install the web site to IIS6 but can't attach this with an IIS7 custom action I've found.
Edit: Ahh okay I'll rephrase my question.
How would I create a UI to allow a user to choose the web site to use for IIS6 and IIS7 (i.e support all versions of IIS to query)?
WiX 3.5 supports IIS7. You should use the same elements of IIsExtension you normally do for IIS6. Besides, "IIS6 compatibility" prerequisite is not required any longer.

Is is possible to enable metabase compatibility in IIS 7 programmatically?

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:

No applications available to install on Web Platform Installer on Vista x64

When I use the Web Platform installer on Vista x64 Business it doesn't list any of the applications (such as DotNetNuke or SubText).
Has anyone got it to work on Vista 64?
I'm running Vista Home Premium x64 SP2 and can see plenty of web applications with no problem. Is it possible there is some prerequisite software or libraries you need to install (say, using the WPI) before you can install web applications?
The first step I'd take is to uninstall WPI, restart your computer, and reinstall WPI. It sounds so basic but the simplest fixes are so often sufficient.
Is everything on your system up-to-date?
It should work with Vista x64 Business edition. The application catalog is downloaded from the web via http requests. You might try using a tool like Fiddler Web Debugger to determine if the app is able to connect properly. You may have a firewall or network issue preventing it from fetching the list of applications.

can we use windows 7 home edition to develop asp.net applications

I am planning to buy a new laptop to learn asp.net web applications and also windows applications. Do we get IIS7 installed when we buy the home edition of windows 7 or should we buy windows 7 professional version?
Looking at some documentation on TechNet, it looks like all the Windows 7 Home editions (Starter, Basic, Premium) have the ability to install IIS, but it is not installed by default.
If you just want to learn, Visual Studio has a built in webserver for development that will work. If you want to deploy your web applications, this page has information on which versions of Windows 7 have which IIS options available
Following this thread, no problem found so far.
You don't need IIS for ASP.NET Development if you use Visual Studio.
Visual Studio Express for the web is free, and comes with its own web server.
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/
You can also create windows programs with Visual Studio Express for windows.
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/
If you want to do both, then you may need to buy Visual Studio.
If you want to do local debugging of asp.net using IIS then you need one of these versions. Not supported on Windows 7 Home.
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Enterprise
