IIS Media Services on Windows 10

Question

Has anyone managed to get IIS media services to install on Windows 10? When I try it tells me I need IIS 7.0 or higher. I have version 10.0.10240.16384 installed so it seems it is not detecting the version correctly. I am guessing there is a registry hack somewhere that will get it to install - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please try this:

Firstly closed IIS Manager, then changed the IIS MajorVersion in the registry to 9, installed urlrewrite from the MSI with no problems and changed the registry version back to 10.

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp

Value: MajorVersion
