Can't find IIS on Windows 7 Home Basic

I just bought a brand new Lenovo (idealpad) laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic. There's no operating system DVD along with the stock, but the laptop does have OS recovery software, if you ever want to burn them on a DVD. I guess most hardware is being sold that way today.

Anyway, I want to use IIS. I followed these steps to install it. I went to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off. I selected Internet Information Services from the list and let it install it. I think it must've gotten installed.

But now, I can't find it. I tried these steps to locate inetmgr but neither can I find the MMC Snap-in UI. Where do I find IIS? I have even rebooted the machine and checked but no luck.

Guys, I installed IIS Express and have checked a lot pages on the Web but I cannot see the IIS snap开发者_Python百科-in (inetmgr) on my Windows 7 Home Basic box. Please help!!!!!!!!!

Check out IIS Express.

I have fallen in love with it and I'm sure you will to.

Open the Command Prompt and type

Iisreset /noforce

If this errors out IIS wasnt installed correctly or was not installed at all.

I could find it by just pressing start and type it in the search bar. May be a lame idea you already tried, but it costed me half an hour before i figured it out.
