Set up IIS on Windows 7 Starter - asp.net

I'm trying to set up IIS on Windows 7 starter for a client. I have it mostly working, however, it seems like my ajax requests aren't working. 'I tried to set it up through the "Add or Remove Windows Features" menu but "Web Management Tools" isn't included in the submenu. Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong or an alternative method? Thanks.
Edit
Solution
I ended up using UltiDev's Cassini server to solve this issue. It works with telerik and all of my ajax works. Thanks for the responses.

Windows 7 Home Premium is the edition that starts including those tools. You could use IIS Express instead.

This article shows how to install IIS in Win 7 (I believe it works in Starter as well). In addition, if you install WebMatrix, I believe you get IIS 7.5 with it that would work also. What about your AJAX requests isn't working?

Many tools are not available to the windows 7 starter edition.

Not able to install IIRF on Windows Server 2012 / IIS8

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.

how to install II7 in vista

Hi Im trying to setup an environment for my pc ,
Im trying to learn asp.net , and i dont know how setup this in vista , in php its so easy in wamp, but I dont know here, please help me..thanks
any help is appreciated
Here is a step by step tutorial on Microsoft IIS site :
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/28/installing-iis-7-on-windows-vista-and-windows-7/
You can install IIS by typing optionalfeatures.exe in the Windows Vista Start menu. You don’t however need to install IIS to learn ASP.NET as you desire. A better starting point might be to install Visual Studio Express as that gives you all the tools you need to build your first ASP.NET project. You can download it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/
Another option would be to install an all-in-once WebMatrix. It contains the editor with syntax highlighting and intellisense, lightweight IIS server (IIS Express) and a lot of built-in capabilities to jump start learning ASP.NET. You can easily install open source applications like DotNetNuke and start digging into them within minutes.

URLMapping works on Local, but not on Server

Hey! I'm using VS2010 and on my local machine, using web.config to map one url to another works fine, using the tag. However, as soon as I upload to the IIS6 server it doesn't work at all! Is there something about IIS6 that doesn't support this feature?
Thanks, any help would be massively appreciated.
IIS6 doesn't support the newest versions of .NET. What .NET version is your project running under?

Running an asp.net 1.1 app under windows server 2008 64bit

Are there any issues with running an asp.net 1.1 application under windows server 2008 64-bit web edition?
I have never tried it myself, but I did find the following pages that you might find interesting:
This blog has an in depth walk through of configuring ASP.NET 1.1 on Windows Server 2008. The author does not say if it is x86 or x64, so I would just assume its x86. But either way, it looks like the author had to jump through some hoops to get the ISAPI filter setup correctly.
I also found this thread on the IIS7 forums where someone discuses having poor performance from ASP.NET 1.1. on x64 Win2k8. So from poor performance I would assume it worked to some extent. Unfortunately towards the end of the thread the author mentions encounter 500 errors, and then the discuss stops :-(
So from what I've read I would guess that its possible, but I would also guess that you would have less hassle if you could find some alternative that didn't involve both II7 and x64.
I have recently been testing our application on 64 bit 2008. Our application is .net framework 3.5 but we had a few problems.
The main issue we had was with 3rd party components such as Aspose words which were not built for 64 bit and caused an error. Unfortunatly you wont know without trying it..
.NET 1.1 is 32 bit only hence the app pool would have to run as 32 bit and use the classic pipeline. I haven't tried myself and I would do all that I can to not have to install .NET 1.1 on a 2008 server but it should work.
No problem. Just follow intructions on
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/472/how-to-install-aspnet-11-with-iis7-on-vista-and-windows-2008/
The option "CGI Restrictions" (last step) is found on IIS7 admin by clicking on the machine name.
I'm pretty sure that the article at http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/472/how-to-install-aspnet-11-with-iis7-on-vista-and-windows-2008/ is for NON-R2 versions of Windows Server.
As far as I know ASP.NET 1.1 cannot run (or at least, not run well) on Windows.
There are some band-aid solutions around that various people have posted / blogged but this isn't supported by Microsoft.

Does CruiseControl.NET run on IIS 7.0?

I'm new to development (an admin by trade) and I'm setting up my development environment and I would like to set up a CruiseControl.Net server on Server 2008. A quick Google did not turn up any instructions for getting it running on IIS 7.0, so I was wondering if anyone had experience getting this set up.
Here is a helpful article that worked for me:
Getting CruiseControl.NET working under IIS7
What Dale Ragan said; it installed flawlessly on our Windows Server 2008 machine, including the Dashboard running on IIS 7. Just give it a shot; should work fine.
I have never tried on Server 2008, but I have installed CruiseControl.NET on Vista which includes IIS 7.0. I don't remember there being any problems. You do have an admin background which should help if something does pop up.
Just use the CruiseControl.NET wiki to get you thru the install and getting it setup. That is all I did.
I got it running by following the steps in this blog. Additionally, I had to enable ASP.NET, as shown in this blog. Lastly, to get the package install working, I gave full permission to the local users on the webdashboard directory, as in this bug report.
