How to install IIS in Vista
May 11, 2007
If you want to make your system as a webserver you need to install IIS. It is included with Windows Vista but is not installed by default. Once it has been installed, it provides for basic Web server functionality and includes the WWW, FTP, NNTP, and SMTP services.
You can install IIS using the following steps:
Open the Programs option by clicking Start | Control Panel | Programs.
Under Programs and Features, click Turn Windows features on or off.
In Windows Features Expand Internet Information Services tree node, you can see that there are a lot of options beneath it. You will probably want to explore these options, because even if you click on IIS, some of the necessary options for doing development aren’t checked.
Once you’ve gone ahead and Checked the IIS items you want, and clicked OK, you’ll see this dialog for a while….
Now when you navigate in your browser to localhost, you’ll see the new default
page.
Once IIS is installed, your computer running Windows Vista will be able to function as a Web server.

Server Error in Application “Default Web Site”
——————————————————————————–
HTTP Error 404.4 – Not Found
Description: The resource you are looking for does not have a handler associated with it.
Error Code: 0×80070002
Notification: MapRequestHandler
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/
Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot
Logon User: Anonymous
Logon Method: Anonymous
Handler: Not yet determined
Most likely causes:
The file extension for the requested URL does not have a handler configured to process the request on the Web server.
What you can try:
If the file extension does not have a handler associated with it, add a handler mapping for the extension.
Verify that the handler associated with the file extension is properly installed and configured.
Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
More Information… This error means that the Web server does not recognize the file extension of the requested resource. A module handler is not configured on the Web server for this extension. If the file extension being denied is required by the Web server, add the appropriate handler for the file extension.
