  • From the Start menu select the Control Panel, click Programs
  • Click the link Turn Windows features on or off
  • Check Internet Information Services
  • Press the OK button when finished. 


By default it will install a minimal set of features, if you need additional functionality, you'll need to check the appropriate boxes within the Windows Features dialog box (e.g. Web Management tools).
