Outlook Web Access and IIS

[wayneo4528]

Good day. i have installed server 2008 and exchange 2007. Everything works great except OWA. I have uninstalled IIS and CA. I then installed IIS again but when i install CA i get the following error. "Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700B7)"
I have no idea how to fix this problem. please could someone help me.

Look in the installation logs and see what it's reporting. Look in the event log as well.
