  cant run IIS in win 7 home basic

  Apr 10, 2012 05:59 AM|LINK

  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.

  Hi,

  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.

  Hi,

  As listed in the matrix in the article you provided, IIS Management Console is not available on windows 7 home edition. You will have to upgrade your windows edition to take avantage of advanced IIS features. If upgrading is not an option for you, you may see if IIS express meet your requirement:
