Hi,

Plannig to buy Vista, but not sure what version to get.

I do VS.NET development, mostly ASP.NET.

Can IIS be installed on Vista home premium? Or do I need business or
ultimate?

Andy is incorrect. You can indeed install IIS on Vista Home Premium by going
to the Programs and Features control panel, and selecting Add/Remove Windows
features link on the left side of the control panel window. When selecting
the features you want to install, be sure and select the ones that enable
ASP.NET stuff.

Cheers!
Stephen

It seems that a very limited version of IIS is on Home Premium. I doubt that
will satisfy your needs though.

Not so.

IIS 7.0 can be installed, complete, on Home Premium.

Use this script to install every last bit which IIS 7.0 offers :

start /w pkgmgr
/iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-HttpRedirect;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-URLAuthorization;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-IPSecurity;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI

Yup and from I found out, it's even on the Home Basic,
the only difference between versions being the number
of concurrent connections allowed, from about 3 to 10.

That's good news for application compatibility :-), 3-5 years
down the road! :-(

First of all, thanks to all who responded.

> Use this script to install every last bit which IIS 7.0 offers :

Are you very sure of this? A found one (and only one!) message from a guy
who tried to do ASP.NET development on his Vista home premium machine, and
he succesfully installed IIS. So far so good.

However, debugging was not possible. Vista home premium apparently does not
support Windows authentication, needed to debug an ASP.NET application from
within VS.NET.

Can anyone confirm this IS or ISN'T possible??

With kind regards,

Steven

re:

The original question was whether IIS could be *installed* on Vista Home Premium.
IIS, and all of its features, *can* be installed.

Some features may, or may not, work in specific OS's, though.

If you aim to develop web applications which require Windows Authentication (WA),
given that Home Premium does not support WA, you should consider using
another OS which *does* support WA.

In your case, they would be the Vista Ultimate, Business, and/or Enterprise Editions.

In this page :
http://207.46.196.114/WindowsServer/en/library/0d35e92b-ddb7-4423-b1e5-df550e25713b1033.mspx?mfr=true
there's a handy feature comparison table for all versions of Vista.

Is it really possible to install IIS on home basic? I would be very glad if
it does.
Should I be running the same command to install it?

What version of Vista Home Premium is this? From what I understand, IIS 7
comes with Premium, at least on the one that was installed on the computer
when I purchased it.

The only problem with that IIS 7 is that it doesn't have Front Page
Extensions, which is needed for development solutions such a VS 2003 or
2005. That's why I had to upgrade to Ultimate to get the Front Page
Extensions and IIS 7 together, which is also part of Vista Business.

re:

You can do it in two ways.

One way is to install IIS, using the graphical interface, as detailed at :

http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/86026b03-18b0-4c42-9884-5af83226e2bd1033.mspx?mfr=true

You don't have to run the Pkgmgr.exe "script" (really a batch file)
if you install IIS from the UI.

OR, you can copy the pkgmgr.exe script on that page into a text file and make sure the
whole thing is in ONE line, and then rename the text file to "InstallAndConfigureIIS.bat",
open a command window to the directory it's in, and execute the batch file.

Both ways do exactly the same thing, if you select all the "Application Development Features"
and the "Web Management Tools" in the UI when you install it, as that page explains :

---000---
If you use Control Panel to install IIS, you get the default installation, which has a minimum set
of features. If you need additional IIS features, such as Application Development Features or
Web Management Tools, make sure to select the check boxes associated with those features
in the Windows Features dialog box.

1. Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, click Programs and then click Turn on or off Windows Features.
3. In the Windows Features dialog box, click Internet Information Services and then click OK.

Thanks, Stephen. I set up my new my PC last night, but could not find IIS
for my SQL Srvr Express Ed until reading your msg about 5 mins ago. On my PC
I had to:

click on the main 'Programs' link (as opposed to add/remove, etc.);
then under 'Programs and Features' select the 2nd link 'Turn Windows
features on or off';
then selected IIS which is the 3rd option.

I know this is detailed, but some get stressed over finding features in
Windows' upgrades. Also, I saw a lot of links online about downloading IIS
which is totally unnecessary.

Just note in that Home Premium NT authentication isn't supported with IIS.
It has bit impact on debugging and such... MS has published a fix for it,
luckily:

VS 2005/08 ships with an ASP .NET development web server so that you don't
need IIS on the development box to use and debug it.

If you read the entire thread which began in February of LAST YEAR you
would have seen on the first reply to the original post that you need
Vista Business or Ultimate.

Although it is possible to install IIS on Vista Home Basic, pretty much all
of the useful parts are unavailable on that OS:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/archive/2006/06/02/98661.aspx
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/0d35e92b-ddb7-4423-b1e5-df550e25713b1033.mspx?mfr=true

Specifically, ASP.NET is unavailable which, as you've posted in an ASP.NET
newsgroup, I'm assuming is one of your main reasons for wanting IIS in the
first place.

It's important to realise that Vista Home Basic is, as its name suggests, a
very basic version of Vista aimed at home users. If you are serious about
development, I would strongly suggest that you get some more RAM and upgrade
to Vista Business Edition... You wouldn't try to go into the haulage
business if all you had was a bicycle...

Also, FYI, it is a bad idea to post in a technical newsgroup with the
subject of "Urgent_need help" - many people will simply ignore posts with
subjects like that. "Installing IIS on Vista Home Basic" would have been a
suitable subject for your post...

FYI

I have the Home Premium edition and am able to do development using
VS2008. I haven't bothered with IIS (I just use the service emulator
that is included with VS)but I do know that it is available on this
version.

Hope that's useful

Hi Jenny

I don't know whether Visual Studio will run on Vista Basic edition (I
think it probably will) but it is not essential to install IIS. Visual
studio versions 2005/2008 will by default use their own emulator for
Internet Services and run the site from the websites directory in your
documents folder using a special port No.

I have VS2008 on a laptop with Vista Home premium and that mode of
development works fine for me. The machine I have is quite a high spec
though (2GB RAM).

Hi. I think I have a solution for your IIS need. It is a "replacement" for
IIS in the sense that you can install it on 200/xp/vista or any other
windows server version (except 2008 as far as I know of). There is a free
(stripped down version) and a paid version. The paid version is mainly for
companies wanting to make web hosting servers or use it for their comercial
use. It's pretty cheap though ($50 I think?). I use the free version and it
does everything I need. The onlty draw back to the free version is that it
only supports up to .net 2.0. Here is the link for the download if your
interested.

There's no need to download anything - just follow the instructions:

IIS 7 is included with Vista Home Premium.

You do, however, need to install it, with the script I posted.

IIS 7 is not installed by default with Vista Home Premium.
Your installation directory has all the files you need to install it, though.

Control Panel>Programs and Features>click the link to "Turn Windows

make your selections.

That should get you close.

Juan, thank you, but I need more help than that. I apologize, but I am a
little electronically disabled. I also need instructions on how/where to use
the script you posted. I have no clue. Again my apologies for my stupidity

re:

As this article explains :
http://technet2.microsoft.com:80/WindowsServer/en/library/86026b03-18b0-4c42-9884-5af83226e2bd1033.mspx?mfr=true

...you need to create a batch file (a script) to run this command :


start /w pkgmgr
/iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-HttpRedirect;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-URLAuthorization;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-IPSecurity;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI

Just create a batch file ( maybe : install.bat ), copy the above script into
install.bat and, after you save it, double click install.bat in windows explorer.

re:

No need to apologize, and you're not "stupid", only uninformed.

That's why we're all here : to help each other out.
I'm sure that, sometime, you'll help somebody else.

Is there any particular reason why you're trying to install IIS? If you're
having this much of a problem installing it, I can't imagine what's going to
happen once you get it installed.

True, there are so many web servers that are easier to use, but I think he
wants to do some developmental work, if I remember the thread correctly.

Quite frankly, it's not that easy to install IIS 7 on Vista.
It's a total paradigm (I hate that word) change from previous IIS versions.

Hello,
I browsed through the web for understanding about IIS 7.0 and Windows Vista.
I did install IIS 7.0 in my Vista Home Premium and the installation was
successful. But, I see that Windows Authentication is missing on Vista. Can
that issue be resolved ? do we have any solutino ?

Thank you

windows authentication (just like asp.net and most everything else) is a
feature that must be enabled/installed, before you configure at the site
level.

you can edit the iis 7.0 config files or use the UI.

1. Pull out your Vista DVD and put it in the computer
2. Go to Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs
3. CLick Add/remove Windows Features
4. Choose IIS from the list

For Visual Studio, make sure you have selected the IIS 6
compatibility/management features. You also want to make sure you have
Windows Integrated Authentication unders security (at minimum) -
anonymous is also a "must" (not really, but in most scenarios it makes
sense. Once installed, try again.

Peace and Grace,
