No "Web Service Extensions" folder in IIS 6 - iis

I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit), after turning on the IIS 6 feature in Control Panel, there is no "Web Service Extension" folder in the IIS Manager. I need this to turn on the ASP feature. Can someone please help? Thanks.

I had similar issue recently. The solution is:
%WindowsDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%Framework_version%\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
PS not sure it works on IIS6, but you should definitely check it out.

IIS not working after upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Unlimited

Today I upgraded my windows 7 ultimate to windows 10 pro. Every thing seems to work fine. But the localhost is now throwing error : HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
I checked IIS, it is running. I checked the version of IIS from IIS Manager, it is showing Version 10.0.10240.16384.
I test my sites on localhost.
Before upgrade, in windows 7 ultimate it was working fine. I also checked "Turn windows feature on or off" and found that IIS is installed properly.
Please guide me.
Thanks Joe Raio for providing the hint. I checked the event log and found that rewrite.dll was causing error. I uninstalled IIS URL rewrite extension and the problem is gone. Now everything is working as before, classic asp, php, everything.
Please try this solution
Go to the Application Pool ...
Advanced Settings ...
Process Model ...
Identity ...
Set it to "LocalSystem"

Can't find classic asp configuration option in iis 8.5

I followed instructions on enabling classic asp on iis8 windows server 2012 and the site started working. Now I want to configure classic asp settings. Instructions say In IIS, click your Web site. Click the ASP option in the main window but I can't find the option anywhere. What could I be missing?
Ok, so I gave up and rebooted the computer and the Classic ASP icon appeared. When all else fails, reboot the computer.

ColdFusion10 Developer and Windows7 (IIS7.5)

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".

What is the default location of inetmgr.exe of IIS in Windows 7, as none of my Windows searches are working; Any Alternative to access it?

Hi I want to acces, open "inetmgr.exe" on my Windows 7 machine. But none of the searches are working. ( Start Menu --> Search Program and Files NOR Search in My Computer).
I somehow want to access inetmgr.exe of IIS(InternetInformation Services).
So can anyone kindly let me know the
default location of inetmgr.exe or any
DOS command to access it. I even
tried typing "inetmgr.exe" in command
prompt. But not working. So PLz
somehow I need to access inetmgr.exe.
Thanks in advance.
It should be available in following location:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe
But when you goto start menu and type inetmgr.exe it should be visible in the list. If not then something wrong with your installation or that file has been deleted.
At first check IIS is installed or not.
For XP
Open Control Panel
Add-Remove Windows Components.
For Windows 7 / Windows Server 2012
Open Control Panel
Programs and Features
Turn Windows features on or off.
I had the same issue. Go into Control Panel -> Programs-> Turn Windows features on or off.
Click on features for Internet Information Services. Specifically, Web Management Tools and Wold Wide Web Services.
For Web Management Tools
->IIS 6 Management Compatibility
->IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility. (or any other features you think you may need)
I had the same problem on Windows Server 2016 with it not wanting to search. IIS Manager (with our normal websites) was showing in the Start menu but IIS 6 Manager was not (where the SMTP Virtual Server settings are located).
Luckily you can launch it from within Server Manager:
Yes, I installed IIS and still couldn't find InetMgr.exe until I went back to
Turn Windows features on or off
and then checked
Internet Information Services
Web Management Tools
IIS Management Console

Configuring IIS on Windows Vista Home Edition

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.
