Windows 7, the latest avatar of the Windows operating system from Microsoft, comes bundled with upgrades for many useful features of the operating system. One of these is the IIS 7, which has got some additional features other than the IIS 7 bundled with Windows Vista. You will need to install IIS 7, especially if you wish to work with ASP .NET in Windows 7, or wish to do some web development with Adobe Dreamweaver.
Here is how you can install IIS in Windows 7:
1. Click on Start button, and then select the option Control Panel.
2. Click on the link named "Turn Windows features on or off".
3. In the next window that opens up, you will see a host of options with checkboxes beside these. Checking the boxes fills those with blue color, and turns the corresponding features on, while removing the checks turns those off.
4. Click on the item named "Internet Information Services" to expand the corresponding node. Be sure to check the box beside the item.
5. Now under the node, look for the services you would need for development in ASP .NET. Check all that you think may apply to your field of work. Checking the box for Internet Information Services does not turn on all the services under it, so you will have to do that manually, one at a time.
6. Once you are done, click on OK.
7. You will see a message box with a progress bar, indicating that the changes you made are being applied to the operating system. Do not interrupt the process, or some of the necessary files may get corrupted. Once all the changes have been applied, the progress bar will disappear automatically.
8. Now, open your web browser.
9. Type http://localhost in the address bar and press Enter.
10. You will now be able to see the new local host page in IIS 7, with the word "Welcome" written in it in many languages.
