Configuring IIS

[kavsagol]

Vista Home Basic - I installed IIS and configuration tools, but how do I get to IIS configuration? In XP/2000 I do it through the Manage function of my computer or through the control panel, but now I don't see it there.

Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

Using Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, (Help program Vista)

"IIS 7.0 introduces IIS Manager for IIS 7.0, a completely redesigned user interface (UI) that helps you manage settings for web servers, websites, and web applications. Now you can perform common management tasks for both IIS and ASP.NET through the same UI.

For more information about IIS Manager for IIS 7.0, go to IIS 7.0: Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the Microsoft TechNet website".

Like I wrote in my first message, it's not there. The file inetmgr.exe is not installed on my computer at all.

Apparently it is not available in Home Basic - see

Yes, it is hard to see what it means to "install IIS" in Vista Home Basic based on the number of features marked unavailable.

It seems I'll go back to XP until I can buy a laptop that can work well with Vista Business.
