Check whether IIS is installed or not?

Question

I am trying to create a Local IIS Website using ASP.NET.

When I click on New -----> Website and select the type as HTTP and from the dialog box if I select the option as LOCAL IIS WEBSITE I am getting a message as "IIS not installed on this computer"

When I checked in the Control Panel---->Add or remove programs ---->Add or remove windows components. The Option Internet Information Service is already checked marked.

But when I click on the Control Panel ---> Administrative Tools, I dont find the option as Internet Information Service.

I also have the root directory as C:\Inetpub\WWWRoot.

And when I give the following command in the VS command Prompt

aspnet_regiis.exe -i

It is giving the message as finished installing ASP.NET

Can any one help me in identifying whether IIS is installed in my system or not?

Please help me out!

Answer 2

go to Start->Run type inetmgr and press OK. If you get an IIS configuration screen. It is installed, otherwise it isn't.

You can also check ControlPanel->Add Remove Programs, Click Add Remove Windows Components and look for IIS in the list of installed components.

Refer this a step by step approach:

For many users you have to enable the windows feature on then check IIS and then go with RUN followed by searching for inetmgr.

Answer 4

For Windows 7:
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off > to turn on IIS click on Check box.

Answer 5

In the menu, go to RUN > services.msc and hit enter to get the services window and check for the IIS ADMIN service. If it is not present, then reinstall IIS using your windows CD.

Answer 6

The quickest way to check is just to write "inetmgr" at run (By pressing Win + R) as a command, if a manager window is appeared then it's installed otherwise it isn't.
