Unable to install iis manager on windows 8.1 - iis

I get an error while trying to install IIS manager from "Turn on off windows features" on a windows 8 machine. Just before trying to install this I install Visual Studio community online and rebooted my machine. Visual Studio works fine.
I also made sure all updates are installed on my machine and also rebooted and tried installing IIS manager.
The error that I get is "The function attempted to use a name that is reserved for use by another transaction"
Thanks

Try to turn off your antivirus before install IIS.

I had the same problem and spent hours trying to find out the root cause. Tried to disable anti virus and other options as discussed in forums on the internet.
Here is how i resolved the problem.
Open up msconfig -> go to boot tab -> select Safe boot (Minimal) -> Apply -> Okay
Your machine should restart in safe mode and you should be able to successfully install IIS from the "Turn Windows Feature On/Off" section as described by others.
After the installation is complete, run msconfig again to unselected Safe boot so that you log in to the normal desktop environment on restart. Enjoy!

Just now i also faced that problem and this is how fixed the problem.
The reason can be another server which running on your pc, is using the same port as IIS. (e.g: 80 or 8080).
According to my solution, I started the wampserver. then click on wamp icon on the task bar. then opened the httpd.conf file from Apache.
find (ctrl+F) the "Listen 80" and replace it to "Listen 8080" or any other. save it.
restart your pc and try to install the IIS manager again.
hope it will works!! Good luck.

Cannot uninstall / repair / install Node.JS to my system

I installed node.js to work on a discord bot with VSCode but it didn't work.
I reinstalled it but ticked the 'install chocolatey' box this time, halfway through the installation I got 3 trojan alerts from my AV, and cancelled the installation.
Since then, I have been unable to uninstall, repair or reinstall Node.JS, through the Windows 10 uninstall function or from the Node.JS .msi file.
Each time I try, I get the same error message:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed."
I've removed all instances of Node.JS from my program files and %appdata%, I've ensure the Installer Service is running, and yet the Node.JS application still shows in the Uninstall Tool and when I try to uninstall / modify / reinstall, it shows the same error, and seems to think it's still installed on my system! Not even Node.JS commands work in my CMD!
I've got no idea how to fix this, and I don't want to use glitch anymore to write my bot, so please help- or it seem's I'll have to factory reset my PC and hope that resolves the issue.
Thanks in advance, guys.
Godspeed.
EDIT: I tried installing a newer version hoping it would overwrite old Node.JS files. Didn't work. Issue still occurring.
Do these:
Open command prompt as Administrator and run /sfc scannow. It will scan and replace corrupted files.
Restart your PC when the scan is done.

.exe and .msi installers does not runs on Windows 10 OS

I was trying to install Node.js node-v14.15.1-x64 on PC with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit OS, but then I found that the problem appears with any .exe and .msi
If I'm trying to run installer with/without administrator, I got only endless blue loading circle icon on my screen without any error report or process in Task manager:
Hanged icon with cursor arrow does not disappears, even if I will wait for a hour, to stop it, I've to restart computer
I've followed Stein Åsmul answer, which I'm forced keep unmarked, because it seems like nothing helps yet:
I've re-download installation media but now I see that this happens happens to all installers.
I've tried turn off Windows Defender Firewall and Security Antivirus.
with C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.exe value is exefile, and exefile folder value is Application, I have tried to change it with "%1"%*
in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion in ProgrmFilesDir value is C:\Program Files and in ProgramFiles Dir (x86) is C:\Program Files (x86)
With attempt to C:\WINDOWS\system32>assoc .exe=exefile something also went wrong here, because OS freeze, and I was forced to reboot
C:\WINDOWS\system32>msiexec.exe /i :\Users\User\Desktop\New folder (1)\pycharm-community-2020.2.3.exe /L*v C:\Your.log opens Windows Installers, which describes Display, Install, Restart and Logging Options, but I'm not sure, how to use it, to find out with this issue
Solution:
After removing AVScanner.ini form C:\ directory problem disappeared and installation works fine
Also I have to note, that I will mark answer by Stein Åsmul because I found it useful in similar possible situation, even if it was not solution in this particular case
Any advice, guide or example would be helpful
Overall: Do you have a screenshot? That almost sounds like a Windows Smartscreen issue?
Here are some generic setup.exe debugging suggestions:
Shortened setup.exe problem list
Long setup.exe problem list.
Specific Suggestions: 1) Re-download the installation media first of all. 2) Then reboot and disable anti-virus scanners and try to install. 3) You should also enable logging and look at the log for clues. 4) Try to install as a different admin users. 5) Finally test on a virtual or another machine to verify the integrity of the setup file.
Quick Logging:
msiexec.exe /i C:\Path\Your.msi /L*v C:\Your.log

iisstartingscreenshot
i have tried to uninstall all the relevant IIS components over the Windows Feature Panel.
uninstalled it, restared the system, checked the Windows features and component panel, all packages still installed
so here is my issue about, i seems that my stem does not really remove the IIS or WAS Service component.
UPDATE
so i installed the patches from August 2018.
but nothing changed - i manually installed kb4343909 - but it did not resolve my issue.
i also tried some of the patches which are in the thread (link from #Lex Li) but i did not help either.
what can i try furthermore? i'm really stuck on this and have to finish my project...
do i really have to rollback all the updates before july? i think its time to swith to linux or so... i'm really disappointed about MS...
i found a solution here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-networking/iis-wont-start-after-upgrade-to-1803-was-fails/0546e24f-6573-4445-b8d5-d17096a5fcfc
in the comments there was a "hack" which actualy worked on my windows 10 64bit machine:
Just delete the registry entry "NanoSetup" with running cmd command.
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WAS\Parameters" /v NanoSetup /f
Now you can start the service again.

How can I enable "URL Rewrite" Module in IIS 8.5 in Server 2012?

I have windows server 2012 and I have installed the IIS 8.5 but I could not see the URL rewrite module. How can I enable or install?
Download it from here:
http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
or if you already have Web Platform Installer on your machine you can install it from there.
Worth mentioning: you should download the x64 version!
From the main download page (https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite) click "additional downloads" (under the main download button) and download the x64 version (because for some reason - the default download version is x86)
First, install the URL Rewrite from a download or from the Web Platform Installer. Second, restart IIS. And, finally, close IIS and open again. The last step worked for me.
Thought I'd give a full answer combining some of the possible intricacies required for completeness.
Check if you have 32-bit or 64-bit IIS installed:
Go to IIS Manager → Application Pools, choose the appropriate app pool then Advanced Settings.
Check the setting "Enable 32-bit Applications". If that's true, that means the worker process is forced to run in 32-bit. If the
setting is false, then the app pool is running in 64-bit mode.
You can also open up Task Manager and check w3wp.exe. If it's showing as w3wp*32.exe then it's 32-bit.
Download the appropriate version here: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite#additionalDownloads.
Install it.
Close and reopen IIS Manager to ensure the URL Rewrite module appears.

IIS 7.5 AutoStart

I have the IIS 7.5 installed on the server, but I can't find the configurations about autostart. When I try to edit the IISs config file the application pool that I had edited doesn't start.
Serching the internet I had read about the Windows Server AppFabric, do I have to install this to use the autostart?
And, to complete the mess, I couldn't complete the instalation of the AppFabric. I got the error: "Setup.exe has stopped working", with no clear reason.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Ps.: I met all the requirements, like windows 7 and such.
To anyone who has the same problem:
After formatting my pc and reinstalling everything, I could install the AppFabric.
Then the necessary options for the use of AutoStart appeared.
