In Windows 7, I had to explicitly check the static content in Program Features under Internet Information Services, World-Wide Web Services, Common HTTP Features. I was unable to see any CSS or images until I checked this box.

I remembered a mention of static content in chapter 19, finally found it, and it refers to using integrated pipeline mode which allows/enables ASP.Net serving static files. I'm uncertain if I missed anything.

Hi there,

Static content should be checked automatically when you check the Internet Information Services item in the Windows Features dialog as explained on page 712, chapter 19.

Cheers,

Imar
