Installing IIS 7.5 on Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate

Applies To: Windows 7
By default, IIS 7.5 is not installed on Windows® 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Windows® 7 Ultimate. You can install IIS by clicking Windows Features in Advanced Options under Programs in Control Panel.
You can also use the Web Platform Installer (Web PI) to easily install IIS, and applications that run on IIS. The Web PI is a free, lightweight tool that lets you install IIS and related technologies such as ASP.NET, SQL Server Express, Visual Web Developer, other popular Web applications, and more. Because the Web PI installs the latest versions of available Web Platform offerings, with just a few simple clicks you can download and install any new tools or updates. To learn more about the Web PI, see Learn more and install the Web PI.

Note
You must be a member of the Administrators group to install IIS 7.5.

To Install IIS 7.5 on Windows 7

You can perform this procedure using the user interface (UI) or a script.
