Beta Information

This article discusses a Beta release of a Microsoft product. The information in this article is provided as-is and is subject to change without notice.

No formal product support is available from Microsoft for this Beta product. For information about how to obtain support for a Beta release, see the documentation that is included with the Beta product files, or check the Web location where you downloaded the release.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services on a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:

The Microsoft Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn" Beta 2 operating system
The Microsoft Windows Vista operating system

In this scenario, you receive the following warning message for the IIS Feature Requirement item on the System Configuration Check page in the SQL Server 2005 Setup program:

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.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because not all the IIS 7 components that SQL Server depends on are installed on your computer. The following table lists the affected components.

Component	Folder
Static Content	Common HTTP Features
Default Document	Common HTTP Features
HTTP Redirection	Common HTTP Features
Directory Browsing	Common HTTP Features
ASP.Net	Application Development
ISAPI Extension	Application Development
ISAPI Filters	Application Development
Windows Authentication	Security
IIS Metabase	Management Tools
IIS 6 WMI	Management Tools

Note The Folder column in the table lists the folder under which the component resides. You encounter these folders when you run the IIS 7 Setup program.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, install the IIS 7 components that are not installed on the computer.

Note You cannot install IIS 7 by using the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel on a computer that is running one of the operating systems that are listed in the "Symptoms" section.

To install IIS 7 or the IIS 7 components in Windows Vista, visit the following IIS Web site:

http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=2&subtabid=25&i=957

To install IIS 7 or the IIS 7 components in a Server Core installation of Windows Server "Longhorn," visit the following IIS Web site:

http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=2&subtabid=25&i=956

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
