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 1

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.
