Install IIS on windows 7

All,
Let see how to configure IIS on windows 7. Its simple and straight away. In windows7 by default it does not come with IIS. And more over like windows XP, OS CD is not required to instal the same.
How ?
Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Click 'Turn Windows features on or off'
It displays all features in this navigate to 'Internet Information Services' and select it  and click Ok. Wait for some time as shown in the dialog box on screen. That's it. You are done. Go to run prompt and type 'inetmgr' and one can verify the IIS settings.

Same can be done for Windows 7 Professional / Enterprise /Ultimate.



Thanks,
