    Unable to reinstall IIS 7

    Somehow, my vista ultimate refused to let me reinstall IIS 7!!!!!!
    What I did:
    a) reviewing all relevant .confg and schema files
    b) out of sudden - appcmd.exe not working 8007000d or some error like that
    c) restart IIS services - open iis web ui - it complaints about duplicate entries in apphost.config
    d) review the .config file. nothing wrong. I even replaced it with the backup copy I created before (a)
    e) give up - so uninstall it. Took years!!!! and my windows experience index is 5.3! top of the line :)
    f) force a reboot - then uninstall again.
    g) reboot again - try reinstall - turn windows feature on and off - all components. Hecks. Took years again - setup not complete - bla bla
    h) repeat g x 3
    i) try command line with package manager. waited 1 hr, same error.
    j) then today - try again. a) to i) was recorded 2 days ago.

    Now, what's the deal? why is it so slow? I attached the iis7.log.

    Cheers,

    Are you logged in as administrator or is UAC enabled?

    Yes, tried both - UAC is enabled.

    I would try disabling UAC, reboot, login as administrator and see if it installs.  The local administrator vs. a domain account (if applicable).  I realize the MS correct answer is to have UAC enabled.   After your done testing, re-enable UAC. :-)

    Re: Unable to reinstall IIS 7

    Hi Bernard,

     In the iis7.log I don't see the 0x800700d error or installing commands, Could you please try again using PkgMgr.exe and attach both iis7.log and cbs.log files?

     What is the PkgMgr.exe command line that you used?

     Thanks,

    Steve - I had tried that as well, same deal.

    Daniel - I use the full syntax at this page - http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=2&subtabid=25&i=957
    And I'm currently traveling.. will be back next week. For the 8007000d is from appcmd.exe before i uninstall it.

    Re: Unable to reinstall IIS 7

    Hi Bernard,

    We are getting a failure message from the SCM, Could you send me SCM.* logs from windows\System32\LogFiles\Scm folder?

    Thanks!

    Ok, have sent you the SCM log file this morning.

    This is more complex than previous IIS setup :)
