My story short: I run Windows Server 2008 (not the R2 version, the x32) with IIS 7.
I downloaded the Front Page extensions from the only place on the web: http://www.rtr.com/fpse/Win2008R2/
It will not install, because this version is for Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7.5.
I looked all over the Internet for FPSE for IIS 7.0 for half of day, and nothing.
I am really desperate, I am working with FPSE for more than 10 years now..
Does anybody know where to find the right extensions?? Or any tricks?
I thank you in advance for your help!
Regards,
Simona

Has links to two different dls - iis7 and iis7.5

I am new to IIS world, and I was trying to see what IIS is running at my local machine. I have windows 7 and when I go to help->about of IIS manager, a pop up shows up, whose second line says "Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)", so I thought this is version 6.1 of IIS. However right at the end of same Pop up I can see another line "Internet Information Services(Version 7.4.7600.16385)".
now I am confused which IIS version I am running 6.1 or 7.5?
I have done bit of research and found out that IIS version 7.5 belongs to Windows7. Can I safely assume that if I have windows7 I can not have IIS version other than 7.5?
Is there any good tutorial/ reading material online to understand IIS and how it works?
IIS is tied to the operating system.
This is a little old post, but just thought I'd share. Here it is in a book!
Section: IIS 8.0 Requirements - in the Second Sentence of that section.
Update in response to Himanshu Singh's answer, because I can't comment: I wanted to talk about 'upgrading' and to IIS 8.0 Express. I am specifically interested in IIS 8.0 because of websockets, IIS 8.0 Express doesn't support websockets, so it isn't a 'true upgrade'. I dont know what features it supports from 8.0, because I stopped reading about it after learning it doesnt support the websockets protocol.
Here where I found information about IIS 8.0 Express not supporting websockets.
Websocket issue with IIS 8 Express on Windows 7
Also, to answer the question directly, yes you can 'safely' assume your version of IIS is 7.5
You can definitely install other version of IIS on Win7. Like IIS Express 8.0 will run on Windows Vista with SP1 and all later versions of Windows.
To study IIS online you can definitely go to http://www.iis.net/
Not able to install iirf on Windows Server 2012. I used this msi file from codeplex: "Iirf2.1-x64"
http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/Release?ProjectName=iirf&DownloadId=261341&FileTime=129654893866170000&Build=21018
Getting below error, couldn't find much help on Google or SO so far!
Setup for Ionic's ISAPI Rewrite Filter 2.1 ended prematurely
Anyone experienced or solved this?
You install IIRF by going to the IIS MMC snap-in and either at server level (for all websites) or on each website, you choose the ISAPI filters and click add, then just look for the DLL, click OK, restart IIS and you are done, no need to use the MSI. For IIS8 you need a version that's not available at the IIRF CodePlex project official site. I have been given a new version revision that works in IIS8+, this is version IIRF-2.1.2.4-x64 and I have made it available on my website (http://www.nelsonpires.com/web-development/ionics-isapi-rewrite-filter-aka-iirf-for-iis8/) for anyone to download and use. I have tested it and confirm it works great on IIS8.5. Hope this works for you too.
See my answer on the other related question here: IIRF on IIS8 / Window Server 2012 Throwing w3wp.exe Exceptions - there's a fix for it.
Moving some old sites off an old server to a newer one running Windows Server 2008 x64. Some of the sites are running ASP.NET 1.1. I've gotten them all to work with minimal hiccups (other than making sure to remap each ASP.NET version via aspnet_regiis and copying over the 1.1 machine.config to the Framework64 location) except for FormsAuthentication doesn't appear to be supported for ASP.NET 1.1/IIS7/7.5. Meaning, FormsAuthentication is not an option in IIS Admin, and FormsAuthentication settings in config files merely causes 403 Not Authorized page to render instead of redirecting to a login page etc.
Has anyone gotten it to work? I really just want it quick and dirty as it's only affecting three sites and this is the only remaining issue. I'd prefer not to have to keep a Win2003 server around (virtual or otherwise).
Thanks.
OK First of all I think there is a difference between IIS7.0 and IIS7.5 in that 7.0 seems to be more compatible with ASP.NET 1.1.
You should be able to install IIS7.0 on Windows 2008 server but I don't think it is available on Windows 7. Please not that .NET 1.1 should be running under the WoW64 configuration since I don't think it supports 64bit natively. Look at this article for installing ASP.NET 1.1 on Windows 2008 with IIS 7.0 - http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/472/how-to-install-aspnet-11-with-iis7-on-vista-and-windows-2008/
I came across this article for upgrading ASP.NET 1.1 to IIS7.0 - http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/270/upgrading-aspnet-11-to-iis7-on-windows-vista--windows-server-2008/ which might be helpful. Especially look at the section on "Differences between Integrated Mode and Classic Mode" where forms authentication behavior differences are discussed.
I just got application written in ASP.NET and VB, can i deploy it on any IIS?
Are there any files in project with that kind of information?
There are no files or magic numbers anywhere that can tell you this. Chances are preety good that it will run on a newer versions of IIS but even then your goign to need to know what functionality it requires. For example is it using WebDav? IIS is preety good at being backwards compatible but forward compability not so good. For example IIS7 introduced new functionality which if the application is using it, would prevent it from running on IIS6.
Do you know what version of .net it requires that is more likely to bite you then anything else?
Any IIS that supports ISAPI, I guess, but IIS 5.1 + is recommended (.NET probably won't run on OS that run IIS4 anyway).
Here is a good MSDN link detailing which IIS version comes with which version of Windows as well as useful links for configuring it.
ASP.NET and IIS Configuration
IIS 6 is the minimum for recent .NET versions (i.e. Windows 2003) because Win2000 is not supported (considering server only here).
The Windows version will tell you the IIS version:
Server 2003: IIS 6
Server 2008: IIS 7
Server 2008 R2: IIS 7.5
Also XP: IIS5.1; Vista: IIS7
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but short of a virtual Vista installation, is there a way to install IIS 7 on XP?
No. Which means I'm moving to vista this week as I have to use IIS7.
EDIT: Ha - voted up! I assume it's a sympathy vote. :-)
I think it would be better to move to Win 2008 server (setup as workstation see: http://www.win2008workstation.com/wordpress/)
Its a completly different model on vista than xp... http.sys and all that type of stuff. I don't believe you can install IIS 6 on XP.
