In the Windows Features screen, select Internet Information Services.

 

Expand the Internet Information Services feature. Under Web Management Tools, make sure that there is a check mark next to IIS 6 Management Compatibility and all 4 of its sub-features.

 

 

Under World Wide Web Services > Application Development Features, make sure that there is a check mark next to: .NET Extensibility, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions, ISAPI Filters.

 

Also, under World Wide Web Services > Security, make sure that there is a check mark next to Basic Authentication, Digest Authentication, and Windows Authentication.

Lastly, make sure that Static Content is enabled. Go to World Wide Web Services > Common HTTP Features and check the check box labeled Static Content.

Click OK and wait for IIS to be installed.
