I am on a brand new VISTA computer now. I am doing ASP.NET development.
So I need to turn on IIS. When I do, I notice that the IIS feature is
not checked.

When I check it, it says that there is an error during the set-up
process.

But it seems to continue.

Then, at the end of its process, it give me another error

But it seemed that it worked because behind the error message, the items
appeared to be checked.

But it did not work. When I go back and look at the settings, I see that IIS
is not installed.

Any suggestions?

More details on the error are likely to be available in the event viewer (wherever that is located in Vista).

Bill,

You don't have to use IIS for ASP.NET development. VS2005 and later comes with a built in development web server. Granted, running an app in IIS gives you a more accurate view on how it will run in a deployed environment, but you don't have to use it.
