According to this announcement ASP.NET 5 discontinued helios support and embraced new hosting model that involves using HttpPlatformHandler to spawn dnx instances.
Until now it was definitely possible to run ASP.NET applications on IIS 7.5 and as far as I understand HttpPlatformHandler is for IIS 8 and 8.5. Does this mean that there will be no supported scenario for hosting ASP.NET 5 in IIS < 8 (eg. 7.5)? Are there any other alternative to HttpPlatformHandler?
As mentioned by Damian Edwards both in this GitHub thread and the Community Standup of October 6h, HttpPlatformHandler will be available for IIS 7.5 in the future.
Windows 7 has IIS 7.5, not IIS 7. We require IIS 7.5 as a minimum and the HttpPlatformHandler is being updated to support running on IIS 7.5

I'm considering using ASP.Net 5 for a new project, but I need to know what the minimum IIS version will be to host and run this application.
According to ASP.Net 5 Home on Github you need at least Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 and .NET 4.5.1 for hosting in IIS.
Windows 7 and Server 2008 comes with IIS 7.5.
Also, refer to .NET Framework System Requirements
I have finished my asp.net mvc 4 web application and want to publish on my server. I know mvc 4 needs IIS 7.5.
I have windows server R2 enterprise installed on my machine with IIS 7.0
Does it possible to update IIS 7.0 to 7.5?
If it not does it possible to install 7.5 on R2?
Please provide iis 7.5 download link :)
You can't install IIS 7.5 on your Server 2008. But this won't be a problem. MVC 4 is compatible with IIS 7.0
What is the highest version of Windows Server & IIS that supports classic ASP 2.0?
since IIS 5 that is supported, but not installed by default in later versions.
Open Roles and Features on Windows Server and select ASP as well.
Windows server 2008 and IIS 7.5 support classic ASP.
This link covers the subject of getting classic ASP running on IIS 7.5 fairly comprehensively:

I am just wondering what is needed to run asp.net mvc 3(hosting wise)?
.net 4.0 - I read is needed
iis 6 - can you use this? (not planning to use it but just want to know)
iis 7 - can you use this
iis 7.5 - pretty sure you can use this to run your asp.net mvc 3 site.
I am just trying to figure out what is the lowest requirements needed to run asp.net mvc 3(razor).
iis 6 - can you use this?
Yes, you can.
iis 7 - can you use this
Of course.
iis 7.5 - pretty sure you can use this to run your asp.net mvc 3 site.
Absolutely.
.NET 4.0 and ASP.NET MVC 3 are the most important pre-requisites to be installed on the server. So anything ranging from Win 2003 (IIS 6.0) to Win 2008 R2 (IIS 7.5) will work assuming you install those two components.
There's one caveat though with IIS 6.0 and it is about extensionless routes. If you want those you will need to associate the ASP.NET ISAPI filter to all requests.
To add some more information to this question - if you want to deploy everything with a razor site to run on IIS (for instance if you are with a hosting provider) you can check out Phil Haacks posting on this for the right click "Add Deployable Assemblies" option.

Also, if an application works on IIS 7, would it be cool on the new version (if there is any)?
Err...even Microsoft's marketing material(dead link) is confusing! (says both IIS 7.0 and 7.5). However, I believe that Windows Server 2008 Web comes with IIS 7.0 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Web comes with IIS 7.5 FYI.
And yes, if you have an app working on IIS 7, it will work fine on IIS 7.5.
Edit: Appears Microsoft has update their site since this was posted, leaving link up for anyone looking for information on Server and Server R2.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/product-information.aspx
IIS version 7.5.
My guess is if Microsoft doesn't suck, an app working in 7.0 should be fine on a newer subversion, there should be no core changes. Then again, it is Microsoft, so I can't say that for certain.
