I downloaded the Search Engine Optimization Tookit using the Web Platform Installer.
Most of the plugins I've installed (i.e. IIS Rewrite 2.0) have installed, no problem -- I love that tool!
But the Search Engine Optimization Toolkit for IIS -- which I REALLY want -- doesn't show up in my IIS Manager. I downloaded from the Web Platform Installer, I've rebooted, etc,. but still, nothing.
I'm running on Windows 7 (I heard this could be an issue, but that was from a post back in 2009), and everything on my computer runs well.
Does anyone know if I can get this on my IIS on Windows 7? Thank you for your time in reading this, and any guidance would be sincerely appreciated!
I was just looking in the wrong area of my IIS. I was looking in my website, and not the Owner-PC section of the IIS, where it gets installed.

I'm configuring Windows 10 machine for web development. Installed Visual Studio and want to configure websites. Installed IIS manager but for some reason it doesn't have... anything. No websites, no application pools, no features at all. And it doesn't let me to add any of that.
Has anyone faced this kind of behavior?
Found it. It turned out that something messed up IIS config files (in Windows\System32\inetsrv\Config). So all IIS features were referencing invalid DLLs in the GAC and therefore were silently failing. I only found a trace of that in the Windows Event Log.
Took clean administration.config file and IIS started correctly.
I am trying to learn ColdFusion and have installed the developer edition (CF10) on my Win7 computer and this brings up the localhost administrator page correctly but I have a test helloworld.cfm file in inetpub/wwwroot and when I try & access this with localhost/helloworld.cfm windows opens a dialogue box saying what program should open this .cfm file?
(in IIS Mime type there is none for .cfm & when I tried to add one it didn't work...).
Several posts on the internet say ensure IIS has CGI enabled and ISAPI Extensions
IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility which I have.
I'm not sure what is wrong here-can anyone advise me clearly & simply if I can view and use .cfm in IIS & how?
We know IIS is the problem because your administrator works, so CF is running correctly.
What I do is the following
create a site in IIS, just basic. no setting changes
install coldfusion 10
During install coldfusion will ask me if it has to configure all current IIS sites
if you let it do that, it should all work like a charm.
Did you do it like this?
I would uninstall and re-install as something must have gone wrong connecting IIS to COldFusion
CF10 does not require the IIS 6 compatibility. If you don't need that for any other web technology connections, then remove that. You do need CGI, .Net Extensibility, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters. I believe the connector configurator for ColdFusion especially uses the .Net Extensibilty to "wire things up".
i want to setup IIS(internet information service) on my laptop. what is the setup formality or setup.
Installing IIS
This question should be moved to Server Fault however. Also, once posted there, you should provide a lot more information about what version of Windows, what version of IIS, and so forth.
Also, if you're just doing development, Visual Studio comes with a small development server, so IIS installations aren't usually needed for development.
I am considering currently to get a VPS for some of my development test. I found some VPS at a cheap price, which suits me as it's only going to be used as a sandbox.
So far I know it is possible to install .Net 3.5 on the windows 2003 without problems, if I am correct it will be also possible to use IIS6 for all my development including asp.net mvc.
I am looking here if there is anything that would prevent me from using IIS6. I looked on google and apparently the main thing about IIS 7 is the modular design for plugins. This shouldn't be too much of a problem as most of my devs will be for personnal use.
(PHP on IIS will run fine with IIS6)
Our devs are doing all their development against Win2k3 / IIS6 servers with .NET 3.5 and have not encountered any issues that would have been fixed with IIS7. Which is probably good since I've yet to stand up a 2k8 server.
For devs, I think the main thing IIS7 adds is the integrated managed pipeline that allows you to write .NET code for IIS instead of an ISAPI filter.
Shared configs, FastCGI, caching improvements, etc. I think of more as admin features. Useful, but won't really affect your dev time.
IIS7 will provide faster services, but IIS6 should be able to do everything you need (unless you need to run PHP or something of the sort on IIS).
My friend accidentally bought a laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. He figured out how to install IIS on it, but it doesn't seem to have either the management console or the admin tools. Is there any way for him to configure a site or import an IIS 6 config file?
EDIT: "Windows Vista Home Edition" --> "Windows Vista Home Basic Edition".
Not entirely certain here, but start the IIS console on another machine and tell it to connect to the laptop? The normal management console snap-ins all support remote operation.
Yu need to go back into Windows Component Setup and choose to install the Managemnet console(s).
Control Panel>Programs->Turn Windows Feature on and off.
You will see Internet Information Services in there, go under there and you will find the management console(s).
And yes, they are available to be installed on Vista Home. Once installed you can setup by opening Control Panel->Adminstrative Tools and you will see the IIS manager in there.
Per Microsoft Technet, IIS Management Console is unavailable on Windows Vista Home Basic and Starter Editions though it is available on Home Premium and above. And I can confirm it doesn't appear in the list of options when I install IIS.
Okay, not being on Vista I don't know for sure, but on XP the application which controls IIS is %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc. Perhaps hunting around for iis.msc would be a first step.
You should be able to do an upgrade to home premium. I'm pretty sure it's available at quite a low cost. My Home Basic laptop came with a CD that had all the necessary stuff for upgrading to a different version of Windows (I upgraded to Linux). If you really want IIS to do development work, you should really upgrade. Or if you just want .Net, you can install VS.Net Express and use the development server.
