    Default IIS7, WAS, Vista 5308

    Has anyone been able to get IIS working in Vista build 5308? I've been able
    to install IIS and whatnot through the command line in the Release Notes
    Addendum, however (twice now under two different setups) I am unable to start
    W3SVC. This is because I am unable to start Windows Activation Service
    (WAS). If I try to start WAS, I get:

    Could not start the Windows Activation Service on Local Computer
    Error 50: The request is not supported.

    Any pointers would be appreciated.

    I installed IIS with no problem via "Add/Remove Programs".

    To get there, click Start->Computer, then click on "Change or remove a program".

    In the explorer bar above that says ">Control Panel > Programs > Installed Programs",
    click the arrow after "Programs", then select "Advanced Options".

    Double-click on "Windows Features", and you should be able to select what you need
    in the "Windows Features" dialog, we're under "Internet Information Services".

    Make sure you select *exactly* what you need.

    Make sure you run as local Administrator and not a user that is part of the
    Administrators group.

    What exact command did you use to install IIS. For simplicity, select and
    install all IIS Components; we are still working through partial component
    installations, dependencies, etc and some partial component combinations
    don't work (yet).

    I tried it that way the first time (and via command line the second time).
    Both times I ended up with the setup I described with all the necessary
    components installed but unable to start Windows Activation Service.

    Windows Activation Service has nothing to do with IIS.
    You should be able to activate Windows and not affect IIS.

    I haven't tried it, but I bet that IIS will run OK without activating Windows
    (until Windows stops, that is ).

    Expanding on this...

    IIS installed fine, and static files ran OK.

    ASP.NET was not registered with IIS, so it didn't run.

    I tried running aspnet_regiis -i, but did not have sufficient permissions,
    ( even though I was logged in as the Administrator account ), so I added
    my logged-in account ( the only account on the system and the Administrator)
    to the Users which can execute aspnet_regiis.

    After executing aspnet_regiis -i, I found that I didn't have a TEMP directory,
    ( the compiler complained about it not existing ) so I created one at
    \Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Lo cal\temp\

    Then, the Network Service account didn't have permissions to write
    to the new temp directory, so I gave it full control over it.

    Voila!

    ASP.NET is working as it should.

    btw, the ASP.NET build for 5308 is 2.0.50727.62.
    The release version of ASP.NET is 2.0.50727.42.

    Activation Service in Vista is not for activating windows. I know little
    about it, but IIS was abstracted out further to separate running component
    service modules from WWW, so the Activation Service runs W3Svc, Ftp, in IIS,
    etc. Or something like that :). WAS is the new daddy service for IIS, MSMQ,
    and the lot. So if WAS doesn't start, neither do the rest as WAS is a
    dependency for them.

    I'm actually not sure how I would do that. How exactly do I log in as
    Administrator in Vista? Earlier builds had a way to choose Administrator at
    the login screen (I thought), but I haven't seen that in this CTP.

    After my first clean build, I used Windows Features and tried many different
    IIS installation configurations, the first of which was everything. What I
    would get is a setup where WAS wouldn't start and where launching the new IIS
    Management Console would yield a null reference error. I then added and
    removed components there until I got to the point where the Windows Features
    dialog no longer worked at all. All it showed was the WinFX 3.0 item, and
    the command line pkgmg no longer worked either.

    Then I saw the post about the Release Notes Addendum and the command line
    within for installing IIS and downloaded the notes from MSDN and then
    upgraded over my existing copy of Vista hoping this would yield a working
    pkgmgr and Windows Features dialog, which it did.

    After I was up and running, I executed the command line, which,
    incidentally, is:

    start /w pkgmgr /l:c:\log.etw
    /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-ODBCLogging;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-WindowsAuthentication;IIS-DigestAuthentication;IIS-ClientCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication;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;IIS-FTPPublishingService;IIS-FTPServer;IIS-FTPManagement;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI

    This seems to run just fine, installed, everything, but I was left with the
    same setup I had from using Windows Features, i.e. I could not (and cannot)
    start WAS.

    If that's the case, I don't know why it, simply, worked for me.
    ( after going through the procedures I posted... )

    Activation is a Windows OS feature. Nothing else is called "activation", AFAIK.

    Are you sure what you mean is not the "Turn Windows Features On or Off" ?

    That's all I had to do to install IIS, although it only ran static files by default.
    The procedures I posted worked for getting ASP.NET working.

    WAS is something to do with Indigo (WCF). IIS provides automatic activation
    of Indigo services.

    And then there is Windows activation itself, so perhaps you two ar talking
    at cross purposes?

    Format and clean install Vista 5308 and then run that exact pkgmgr command.
    That will be *exactly* what we do daily.

    We are still seeing some problems using the various UI/dialogs to install
    IIS7. I am comfortable with the pkgmgr commandline since it is exactly what
    the IIS team uses and works reliably; the various UI are less covered (and
    mostly uncover non-IIS issues within Vista Componentization since IIS7 is
    the most complicated and componentized part of Vista and push the boundaries
    in Vista Componentization).

    As a general rule, I do not upgrade Vista during beta. Just a warning --
    IIS7 upgrade/migration isn't exactly working, and componentized
    upgrade/uninstall isn't working, either. So, upgrade at your own risk if you
    want to see a functioning IIS7. :-)

    Evidently... ;-)

    This is part of the fun of running early betas.
    What works for me may not work for others, in this case Nathaniel.

    Except for the rigamarole registering ASP.NET with IIS,
    I was good to go after using the "Install or Remove Windows Features" dialog.

    Default Re: IIS7, WAS, Vista 5308

    Thanks, that got me going. You were right, too much messing with the Windows
    Features dialog is what messed up WAS. It turns out I did have IIS installed
    "properly" the first time I tried, I just didn't think I did because a) IIS
    6.0 Management Console didn't show websites and b) IIS 7.0 Management Console
    raised a null exception error.

    This did still leave me with an IIS Management Console which still throws a
    null exception error. However, after reading the call stack and trying some
    things I figured out why: if you run dual monitors AND the monitor on the
    right is your primary monitor, launching the new IIS Management Console leads
    to:

    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an
    object.
    at System.Windows.Forms.DisplayInformation.get_LowRes olution()

    I reported this using the bug reporting tool. Disabling the secondary
    monitor or setting the left hand monitor as primary allows IIS Management
    Console to start.
