What has happened here is that an internal component of the Windows setup engine (the component store) has somehow become corrupted. We have reviewed potential causes for this and the way the IIS component setup works, there is nothing IIS is doing that will lead to this. There is also no way a user could induce this situation by setting up something incorrectly. In the instances we know of where this problem has been seen, it has occurred randomly during install or uninstall of some component. The specific component does not matter. Unfortunately, once the machine is in this state, the Windows installer is broken. It cannot add or remove any Windows components and it cannot apply updates to the system. We have reason to believe that the OS repair may correct the problem, as it rewrites the component store. It should also preserve the configuration of the machine. Note that you will need to re-install any OS updates after doing this, since the nature of the repair is to restore OS files from your media. Two things to try:1) OS repair – insert OS DVD media and start setup.exe, then choose Upgrade 2) if that does not work then you will need to clean install OS.

Hi guys

yesterday i was trying to install IIS in my Vista Ultimate SP1 machine. Fairly simple , Control Panel -> Programs... ->Turn Windows Features .... -> and tick "Internet information Service"

problems started where the "please Wait while the features are configured" window would never go away (the progress bar was full). i left it over night for it to complete but nope. so today i powered off the laptop since that window won't go away. booting windows up again brought up the "completing update 3 of 3... 51% compelted, do not shutdown ..." on the welcome screen, it got to 51% and never moved on.

After hours of waiting i restarted and booted into safe mode. it quickly passed the 51% mark but it appeared like it reverted back the installation as no IIS was installed.

so in safe mode i tried installing IIS again using the same above steps. After 5-6 minutes i get an error saying "error occurred, not all features have been changed..."

i also tried installing via command line using in safe/user mode using:

start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;
WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI

that fails too returning error 1603 for "echo %errorlevel%"

Can someone please help? not sure what else to do to fix this? googling suggests that this must be a corrupt "windows Process Activation service". but how can i fix this? The box for WPAS in the Windows Feature window is not ticked. trying to install it fails with same behavior as above.

can someone please suggest a fix. thank you
