By default the IIS on Vista would not be configured. And while publishing using VS 2008, you might face error such as "IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility" and "ASP.NET" are not installed.

For this, you have to follow these steps:

To install IIS and ASP.NET on Windows Vista

  • In Windows Vista, open Control Panel and then click Programs and Features.
  • In the right pane, click Turn Windows features on or off.The Windows Features dialog box opens.
  • Select the Internet Information Services check box.
  • Double-click (or expand) Web Management Tools, double-click IIS 6 Management Compatibility, and then select the IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility check box.
  • Double-click (or expand) World Wide Web Services, double-click Application Development Features, and then select the ASP.NETcheck box.

Click OK to start the IIS and ASP.NET installation process.
