Reading through
this and
this, I was under the impression that IIS 7.5 was the version that came bundled with Windows 7. Yet, when I activated it on a Windows 7 Ultimate computer (via the option on the left side of Control Panel - Programs and Features) it seems to indicate that
it's Version 7 of IIS that's installed. Am I mistaken?
When I activated IIS I just used the default settings Should I be turning on additional components too?
My situation is this: I've recently upgraded Visual Studio from 2008 Pro to 2012 Pro and my ASP.NET project from 3.5 to 4.0. I now want to deploy the compiled project onto my [previously described] test server. It'll just be me and another person testing
it before we deploy it to the client's server, which is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
Any suggestions/guidance you can provide would be much appreciated!
as detailed on http://download.pa.parallels.com/poa/5.4/doc/index.htm?fileName=70131_1.htm, IIS 7.5 is only available on Windows Server 2009 R2 version.
Hmmm, very different answers from two knowledgeable ASP.NET Forum contributors. I wonder where the truth lies?
Angi is correct in that:
IIS 7 came with Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.
IIS 7.5 came with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

If you installed IIS on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 either via add roles / add windows feature or the web platform installer you are running IIS 7.5 it may be showing IIS 7 simply due to the fact it is a minor upgrade from 7 to 7.5.
If you wish to confirm the version of IIS you have installed:
Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Click "Help".
Click "About Internet Information Services".
You should then see the version of IIS something like:
Internet Information Services (Version 7.5.7600.16385)
When I activated IIS I just used the default settings Should I be turning on additional components too?
Just select within the installer all the things you need or will need to have them installed and configured for you. You can choose the opton "IIS Recommended Configuration" which installs everything you will generally need in one shot.

The easiest way to make sure you install everything you need would be to use the Web Platform Installer.

Just select within the installer all the things you need or will need to have them installed and configured for you. You can choose the opton "IIS Recommended Configuration" which installs everything you will generally need in one shot.
