IIS requirement for sql server installation

  • Is there anyone who can tell me how to install iis. I used following link to install IIS 6.0.

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=56fc92ee-a71a-4c73-b628-ade629c89499&displayLang=en

    This created following folder: C:\Program Files\IIS Resources

    But still when I run sql server 2008 installation I am getting following error:

    "

    - IIS Feature Requirement (Warning)

    IIS Feature Requirement

    Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online.

  • you need c:\windows\I386 folder to install IIS.

    Check if you have that then go ahead and install it from add/remove programs and windows components.

  • Hi Lucky,

    Do you want only database engine or reporting services also. If you want only database engine you can ignore that warning. If you want reporting services then you have install IIS before installing sql server. Check out google on how to install IIS.

  • Hello Chandra Mohan

    I need to install reporting services as well and this is the reason I need IIS.

    Could you give me some link that defines how tio install IIS?

    Please look at my original request where I tried to install IIS from MS link but didn't succeed.

  • Take a look at this link, it talks about 32-bit SQL on a 64-bit OS, but the IIS install link is included.

    George: You're kidding.
    Elroy: Nope.
    George: Then lie to me and say you're kidding.

  • Go to:

    Control Panel>Add or remove programs>Add/Remove Windows components>Select IIS > point to "c:\windows\I386 folder" for the installation from the disk or image.

    Cheers
