Solution 2:

Open Web Platform Installer(WPI) and add IIS: Management Service, under Products.

If you don't know where to find WPI go to IIS Manager -> Server Node -> Management Section in the Server. If it's not on there install it from http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=WDeploy
