title: How do I get to IIS Manager?
body: <p>In trying to reconnect and reconfigure an existing project on a new machine, I find here (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10889421/the-web-application-project-is-configured-to-use-iis-the-web-server">The Web Application Project [...] is configured to use IIS. The Web server [...] could not be found. </a>), based on the err msg I got on opening the project, that I need to go to IIS Manager (I performed the tasks prior to that in Russ C's answer, installing IIS 7.5 Express and rebooting). However, Russ goes on to write, "<em>Next, go to your IIS Manager...</em>" and that I haven't been able to do/find.</p>
  
  <p>So I found this: <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770472(v=WS.10).aspx" rel="noreferrer">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770472(v=WS.10).aspx</a>, where these instructions are given:</p>
  
  <p><em>To open IIS Manager from the Start menu
  Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
  Do one of the following:
  If you are using Windows Vista® or Windows Server® 2008, click System and Maintenance, and then click Administrative Tools.
  If you are using Windows® 7 or Windows Server® 2008 R2, click System and Security, and then click Administrative Tools.
  In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  To open IIS Manager from the Search box
  Click Start.
  In the Start Search box, type inetmgr and press ENTER.</em></p>
  
  <p>As this is Windows 7, I tried  System and Security | Administrative Tools, but there is no IIS Manager in the list. So I then tried the "inetmgr" route and that, too, failed (it opens a "Search Results" dialog with "No results matched you search" or similar wording).</p>
  
  <p>So how can I locate the IIS Manager so that I can create anew or reattach the configurations the asp.net is failing to find?</p>
  
  <h2>UPDATE</h2>
  
  <p>I had to manually add support for asp.net 4 in IIS Manager for my project to quit whining. Why wouldn't this automatically be configured when installing asp.net 4?!? Anywho, for the benefit of future onreaders, here is what I had to add in its full color glory:</p>

  <p>So here's how it looks at the end:</p>

  <p>I don't know why v2 is needed and, if it is, why version 3 is not, but the important thing (for me, now) is having v4 support.</p>
  
  <h2>UPDATE 2</h2>
  
  <p>Right-click solution, there is a "Use IIS Express..." menu item. If you select that, you see:</p>

  <p>...so maybe all that lying on my back, getting oil in my hair was unnecessary - just select this and all that behind-the-scenes stuff would have been taken care of automagically?</p>
