Unable to see IIS on my pc after installation - windows-7

I have downloaded IIS 7.5 from following url http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1038 and installed on Windows 7 Home Basic. The installation was successful. Even though I'm unable to see IIS in my start menu. When I typed inetmgr in run and clicked on OK, it's showing an error message.
I typed iisreset in command prompt. It's restarting the IIS. When I tried to install IIS from Windows Platform Installer, it's showing IIS as installed on my PC. But, I'm unable to see the IIS.
Please help me out.

In the Control Panel, click Programs.
Click Turn Windows features on or off.
You may receive the Windows Security warning. Click Allow to continue. The Windows Features dialog box is displayed.
Expand Internet Information Services. Additional categories of IIS features are displayed. Select Internet Information Services to choose the default features for installation.
Expand the additional categories displayed, and select any additional features you want to install, such as Web Management Tools.
If you are installing IIS for evaluation purposes, you may want to select additional features to install. Select the check boxes for all IIS features you want to install, and then click OK to start installation.
The progress indicator appears.
IIS is now installed with a default configuration on Windows Vista or Windows
Next, you can use Internet Information Services Manager to manage and configure IIS. To open IIS Manager, click Start, type inetmgr in the Search Programs and Files box, and then press ENTER.

Why do installers not open in Windows Server 2016?

I've downloaded a few different wamp packages on my Windows Server 2016 machine but none of the installers will launch. Nothing happens when you double click the installers after downloading. I've updated Windows, allowed "side loaded apps" in Control Panel, I've tried running as administrator... Running out of ideas. I was able to install Firefox, but so far no other installers will launch.
Server admin responded back as soon as I posted the question...
"A new Windows 'feature' recently added through Windows Update now requires you to unblock all applications downloaded from an external source.
Right click on the .exe you wish to use, select properties, then click unblock at the bottom."

IIS does not list a web site that matches the launched URL

I have sharepoint 2013 application deployed on IIS. When I want to start debugging, I face this error:
"Unable to start debugging on the web server. IIS does not list a web site that matches the launched URL".
I found a few solutions for this issue, but none work for me. The solutions I found:
VS should be running as Administrator. I did that.
Windows Authentication should be enable on IIS. I did that.
'IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility' should be turn on in the Windows features. I did that.
It still doesn't work. Any other solutions? Please help me.
Try to start Visual Studio under administration account by choosing Run as administrator.
If nothing works as above said solutions , try this out
Start >> Control Panel >> Click Programs
Click Turn Windows features on or off.
In the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue
Expand Internet Information Services, expand Web Management Tools, and then expand IIS 6 Management Compatibility
Click to select the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility check box, and then click OK.
I had this same problem.
I was trying to move my solution to a different DEV server of mine, that I don't use that often.
1.) I had not installed some of the items from the Application Development (duh, right) sections of the IIS Role Services. I ended up checking everything, but I think you only need ASP.NET
2.) I installed the asp.net and web tools 2013 available by clicking here

windows authentication in windows features in iis

I'm having an issue setting up Windows Authentication in IIS 7 on my Windows 7 machine. I know by default this option isn't applied by IIS so you have to tick the Windows Authentication tickbox in Windows Features->Internet Information Services->World Wide Web Services->Security. However, under Security there are only 4 options, which are,
i) Basic Authentication
ii) IP Security
iii) Request Filtering
iv) URL Authorization
Is there any way of getting the Windows Authentication option here? This isn't the only instance where I have noticed this, I've encountered the same problem on another machine with Windows 7 as well.
Thanks,
Pradeep Patel.
I think you need to install it first.
On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows Features on or off.
Expand Internet Information Services, then World Wide Web Services, then Security.
Select Windows Authentication, and then click OK.

This is probably caused by a version of Windows, which doesn't provide domain authentification. This can only be accomplished by professional or higher versions of windows.
Because I have the home edition of 7, windows authentication wasn’t available. So enabling or disabling it in my project didn’t really do anything.

The only way I could run my app was by clicking on the solution file in Visual Studio to figure out which is my startup project of my solution.
And then I go to the startup project and enable Anonymous Authentication. Worked for me.

C# WinForms: FUSLOGVW.exe

I have a problem with an application. I am testing it in a virtual machine, windows 7, and I have installed FUSLOGVW.exe via Windows SDK package. Virtual machine does not have any other software installed. When I execute FUSLOGVW.exe and click on settings button, the dialog window that appears, show all the options disabled and I cannot set the log directory when I want to put the logs. Is something missed?
Make sure to run this with admin rights.

Web Setup Project not working

'The installer was interrupted before [project name] could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again.'
I just moved to Win7, and I cannot get the .msi files to install from my Web Setup Projects that are built on that machine. The same projects build and work fine on my other Windows XP, IIS6, VS 2008 SP1 machine. I'm not sure if this is a IIS7 or Win7 issue, but I've done the following:
I have all the IIS/ASP.net compatibility settings checked.
I am an administrator, and I have UAC turned off.
I get the following error when I even try install the .msi file on the Win7 machine and on our existing development server (windows 2003 with IIS6).
I've restarted the windows installer service, and I've added logging for the installer but there is nothing that is showing me what the problem is. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
I'm running Visual Studio 2005 and had the same problem as you described when moving to Windows 7.
After trying my Web Setup Project .msi file on another computer also running Windows 7 I found that it worked.
When I looked in the "Windows Features" dialog on the working computer I noticed that the IIS had IIS 6 compatibility features turned on. I enabled the same feature on my computer and after that I could install my setup project.
Open up "Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off" in Windows 7 and in the "Windows Features" dialog go to "Internet Information Services > Web Management Tools > IIS 6 Management Compatibility" and check the feature "IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility".
Run the installer with full verbose logging:
msiexec /i /lv installLog.txt
Then search the installLog.txt file for "Return Value 3"
This will indicate the exact problem.
Additionally this may help:

I solved this by running 'regsvr32.exe actxprxy.dll'
It resolved the following:
Not able to create valid .msi web project in VS 2008.
Start Page in VS2008 was not displaying rss feed in the main window.
IE was not opening up shorted url links to a new tab (in twitter for example).
I suspect this was because of redirects, but I'm not sure. I'm guessing this was a bug in the install process, so I hope this helps others.
