Cannot open IIS 7.5 in Windows 7 - iis-express

I am using Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010. I just downloaded and installed IIS 7.5 from www.microsoft.com . Installation also ended up successfully. But I cant able to find IIS in any of the way which I could find in the internet. I tried by Run -> inetmgr , control panel -> Administrative tools -> IIS . But I cannot find IIS anywhere. I also found an answer in stackoverflow forum for World Wide Web Publishing Service. but I cant find that too. Please help me. :(

I have found a solution for this. I made IIS enabled in control panel. There is an option in control panel as Turn Windows on/off. In that I checked all the sub folders under IIS menu. Now I can able to open the IIS manager. If any one come across this issue, u can try this step too.

Importing IIS configuration causes IIS to hang

We're migrating our development machines from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and on one of our new machines we want to import the IIS configuration from 7 into the machine.
Here's what we've tried:
Open IIS Manager
Open "Shared Configuration"
Check "Enable shared configuration"
Click the button next to "Physical path" field and navigate to the folder holding our configration settings.
Click "Apply"
The system hangs. No errors in the Event Viewer.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks
As far as I know, it is not recommended while the different version of IIS could have different default module installed.
I suggest you could try to use webdeploy or third-party tool to help you migrate the sites from IIS7 to IIS10.
Detials about how to migrate the sites from II7 to IIS10, you could refer to this article.
Besides, I suggest you could also try this migrate tool.

TF30036: You are unauthorized to access https://

I've found quite a few posts of similar issues, but I still am having trouble getting this resolved.
I have a TFS repository I know I have access to with my Microsoft account. I'm currently using it on my laptop as I'm typing this, and if I go there via chrome, I am having no issues.
I finally got my desktop up and running again, and after a fresh windows/VS 2013 install, I am getting unauthorized when trying to connect to team projects. I'm using the same credentials that are being using through Visual Studio on my laptop, and in chrome.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Please use below ways to narrow down the issue.
Try to disable the Antivirus software on your desktop
Try to disable your firewall on your desktop and try again
If you are using VPN on your desktop, please disable it.
Clear TFS and VS cache in your desktop.
Clear the account info from the Credential Manager (Control Panel) both in
your laptop and desktop, then try it again.
Team -> Manage Connexions... -> re-select your project
Close Visual Studio > Reboot all servers in the Topology.

Unable to see IIS on my pc after installation

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
