How to Install IIS (Internet Information Server) on Windows 7

In this tutorial I will take you through various steps on how to install IIS on your Windows 7 computer.

Remember you do have built in (but not active) IIS server on your windows 7 machine but you need to install it. When I installed it on my machine it didn't ask me for a CD just copied all the necessary files from Windows folder.

Anyways just begin installing IIS on Windows 7:-

Step 1: Go to your Start menu in Windows 7 and select Control panel:


Step 2: Click on Programs.


Step 3: Select Turn Windows Feature on or off


Step 4: Select as it is shown in the screen below.



Step 5: Hit the Ok button and you will see the IIS being installed as shown on the screen.


Step 6: Open Firefox or Internet Explorer or any of your favourite browser.

Step 7: Type in the url bar http://localhost

and if now if everything went OK as it should then you should be able to see this screen.
