Does IIS7 not support ASP.NET - by default?

Does IIS7 not support ASP.NET - by default?

i put asp.net files in there, but it says 404 - not found.

And finding out

  • if it's disabled
  • if it can be disabled
  • if it's enabled
  • if it can be enabled
  • if it's supported
  • if it's not supported
  • if it's supported but not enabled
  • if it's not supported but possible to enable...

is like pulling teeth.

Edit: I'm really getting tired of Microsoft's "broken by default" policy.


You have to enable it. In IIS6 and earlier, you had to install .NET, in IIS7 you have to enable it.

If you already have IIS enabled, right click on My Computer, go to Manage, then Roles \ Web Server (IIS). On the right hand side, click "Add Role Services", make sure you enabled ASP.NET and .NET Extensibility under Application Development.
