I am running VS 2008 on Win 7 Home Basic, 32 bit.I want to use IIS for testing my websites developed in asp.net. My OS cant find the inetmgr.I have turned on the windows features .However in Internet Information Services-->Web Management Tools,I cant find IIS
Management Console.I read on the microsoft website that the key IIS features are not available on Win 7 Home Basic. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753473.aspx Is upgrading to Win 7 Ultimate or Professional the only solution to this problem? I
am a novice in web development field. Please help me resolve this issue.
IIS is not available on Windows 7 Home edition, Microsoft said the Home edition is not meant for networking; I would add that a server (IIS is a server) should only be installed on a server OS, so Windows 2008 R2.
So you must have the Professional edition or the Ultimate edition of Windows 7 installed on your computer for installing IIS.
