Thanks. It seems odd that a VS2008 Web Setup Project will not install onto a W2K8 Server without older IIS6 compatibility installed. I presume that the VS2008 version of the installer isn’t using the WebAdministration library and they haven’t redesigned it to use e.g. WMI to interact with IIS 7. Just as well this is only a test harness I’m trying to install. The VS2008 Web Setup Project is rubbish anyway. We install a website as part of our main product and resorted to using a normal Setup Project and an InstallHelper class to set up IIS7.

Thanks! I spent several hours trying to figure this one out. While it’s one thing to read the log, it’s a whole different thing to find a solution to the problem.

Kudos,

Tom

Thanks. This helped a lot.

To install it you need to go to Server Management -> Roles -> Web Server (IIS) -> Right click -> Add Role Services.

Under tree view -> Management Tools -> IIS 6 Management Compatibility -> IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
