Solution 1

First of all, you need to check that the IIS is installed in your machine, for that you can go to:

Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs --> Windows Features --> And Check if Internet Information Services is installed with at least the 'Web Administration Tools' Enabled and The 'World Wide Web Service'

If not, check it, and Press Accept to install it.

Once that is done, you need to go to Administrative Tools in Control Panel and the IIS Will be there. Or simply run inetmgr (after Win+R).

Edit: You should have something like this: enter image description here

Solution 2

You need to make sure the IIS Management Console is installed.

Solution 3

On a Windows Server 2016 I opened Server Manager from the start menu search. Then clicked Tools on the top right. Then found Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager

Or click win + r then type inetmgr then hit enter.

Solution 4

To open IIS Manager, click Start, type inetmgr in the Search Programs and Files box, and then press ENTER.

if the IIS Manager doesn't open that means you need to install it.

So, Follow the instruction at this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/install/installing-iis-7/installing-iis-on-windows-vista-and-windows-7

My novel about climate change and social justice featuring talking animals traveling through time and space to prevent disasters is now available on amazon, in three formats: Taterskin & The Eco Defenders Kindle eBook; Taterskin & The Eco Defenders Paperback; Taterskin & The Eco Defenders Hardcover Taterskin & The Eco Defenders, told in “first canine” by the titular character, a Labrador Retriever, is the story of a few humans and several talking animals who travel through time and space to make the past—and thus the future—a better place. The improvements effected by the Eco Defenders benefit not just the earth itself, but also mistreated humans and animals. In Book 1 (“Wonders Never Cease”), The Eco Defenders travel 150 million years into the past, to meet a Pterodactyl and make plans to “nip Nazism in the bud.” After that, it's on to 1787 Australia to protect the indigenous people and the environment there. The Eco Defenders next go to India, where they assemble animals from all over that country to put an end to Thuggee and fights to the death between Cobras and Mongooses. Their final stop is 1885 Africa, where the Eco Defenders band together with the local animals to prevent King Leopold of Belgium from taking control of the Congo, following which they put an end to the poaching of animals throughout the continent. Book 2 (“Tell it to Future Generations”) takes up with the Eco Defenders following up on their earlier adventures by 1) Preventing the American Civil War in 1861, after which a slave they free joins them; 2) Saving the Indians from being massacred at Wounded Knee in 1890, following which Chapawee, a Sioux Indian, joins the Eco Defenders; 3) Putting an end to the practice of vivisection (experimentation on live animals) in 1903; 4) Coming to the aid of exploited workers in 1911 Manhattan, saving hundreds from the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire; and 5) Traveling to the Amazon Basin in 1978 to protect and preserve the Amazon rainforest. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ I have lived in eight states; besides my native California (where I was born and where I now again reside), in chronological order I have infested: New York (Brooklyn), Montana (Helena), Alaska (Anchorage), Oklahoma (Bethany), Wisconsin (New Berlin and Oconomowoc), Idaho (Coeur d'Alene), and Missouri (Piedmont). I am a writer of both fiction (for which I use the nom de guerre "Blackbird Crow Raven", as a nod to my Native American heritage - I am "½ Cowboy, ½ Indian") and nonfiction, including a two-volume social and cultural history of the U.S. which covers important events from 1620-2006 and can be downloaded gratis here.

In trying to reconnect and reconfigure an existing project on a new machine, I find here (The Web Application Project [...] is configured to use IIS. The Web server [...] could not be found. ), based on the err msg I got on opening the project, that I need to go to IIS Manager (I performed the tasks prior to that in Russ C's answer, installing IIS 7.5 Express and rebooting). However, Russ goes on to write, "Next, go to your IIS Manager..." and that I haven't been able to do/find.

So I found this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770472(v=WS.10).aspx, where these instructions are given:

To open IIS Manager from the Start menu Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Do one of the following: If you are using Windows Vista® or Windows Server® 2008, click System and Maintenance, and then click Administrative Tools. If you are using Windows® 7 or Windows Server® 2008 R2, click System and Security, and then click Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. To open IIS Manager from the Search box Click Start. In the Start Search box, type inetmgr and press ENTER.

As this is Windows 7, I tried System and Security | Administrative Tools, but there is no IIS Manager in the list. So I then tried the "inetmgr" route and that, too, failed (it opens a "Search Results" dialog with "No results matched you search" or similar wording).

So how can I locate the IIS Manager so that I can create anew or reattach the configurations the asp.net is failing to find?

UPDATE

I had to manually add support for asp.net 4 in IIS Manager for my project to quit whining. Why wouldn't this automatically be configured when installing asp.net 4?!? Anywho, for the benefit of future onreaders, here is what I had to add in its full color glory:

So here's how it looks at the end:

I don't know why v2 is needed and, if it is, why version 3 is not, but the important thing (for me, now) is having v4 support.

UPDATE 2

Right-click solution, there is a "Use IIS Express..." menu item. If you select that, you see:

...so maybe all that lying on my back, getting oil in my hair was unnecessary - just select this and all that behind-the-scenes stuff would have been taken care of automagically?

It's now allowing me to check those things; clicking them toggles them from filled-blue to empty (white/blanco). All of the suboptions refer to IIS6. Aren't there newer versions available?

That installed it, but now I get, "asp.net 4.0 has not been registered on the Web server. You need to manually configure your Web server for asp.net 4.0 in order for your site to run correctly.", and according to stackoverflow.com/questions/5836228/… (1st comment) that is not unusual.

Well, you have a few things to check: 1. Verify you have installed the ASP.NET 4.0 2. in the IIS, verify that in the 'ISAPI Restrictions' the ASP .NET 4.0 is Allowed. 3. Check you have in the App Pool of your site the ASP.NET 4.0 Selected

OK, running inetmgr now, I do see a slew of icons, but to take first things first, how do I determine ASP.NET 4.0.2 has been installed? My "ASP.NET" section there has ".NET Authorization, " .NET Compilation," etc. but I don't see how to tell which version of ASP.NET is there...
B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven almost 11 years

In Control Panel, I can see a whole bunch of ASP.NET stuff, such as: Microsoft ASP.NET MVC2, -MVC3, - Web Pages, - Visual Studio 2010 Tools, etc. Also, I have "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile", "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended" etc.

In inetmgr | Application Pools | Basic Settings, I see: "ASP.NET 4.0 Integrated, .NET Framework version: v4.0.30319.
B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven almost 11 years

Okay, so I found I've got asp.net 4 installed; now where do I find the "ISAPI Restrictions" setting? Oh, I see - I had to go back to the top of the tree to see that.
B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven almost 11 years

What "ISAPI and CGI Restrictions" shows as being allowed is: ASP.NET v2.0.50727 %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll (and Framework64, too...and Active Server Pages). So do I need to add an entry for v4.0.30319?
B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven almost 11 years

I did that (for both "Framework" and "Framework64"); the project no longer complains about asp.net missing, so I guess that did the trick. "What a tangled web we weave!" as some wise guy (spider?) once opined.
