Never-ending Virtual Server installation problem

Hello

I am installing Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 for the third-time and yet again
I keep getting stuck on where I click the Install button on the Ready to
Install page of the Setup Wizard. I am forever receiving this prompt
'Installing the Virutal Server Administration Website requires IIS World Wide
Web service to be installed and the IIS Admin service to be running. You can
go back and change your feature selection, or run setup again after
installing IIS.' I have made sure that all the features of IIS are enabled in
Add/Remove Programes, but been unable to find instructions as to how to run
the IIS Admin service. Please anyone do help me out with this.

Thank you

The way to do it is to do a Custom install and then *uncheck* the
items relating to the admin website. VS2005 by itself does not need
the IIS at all, it is just Microsoft's habit of trying to push
everything into Internet Explorer that has made them implement the
administration through IIS.

But you can easily administrate your VS2005 installation by using
VMRC+ instead. It is a stand-alone console type application that has
all the needed functions to interact with VS2005. It is a free
download from Microsoft, too...

Thanks for the message. I am wondering how you unchecked boxes for the IIS
admin installation options as I have not come across any of them. Please
describe me how you manually installed Virtual Server 2005.

Not so easy, since I have only one PC and on this I have already
VS2005 running properly, so I cannotr repeat the installation in order
to screenshot the dialogues. I won't uninstall only to help you...

But I clearly remember my install:

1) Tried to install using the defaults
This lead to an error message about the IIS not being available

2) Asked here for advice and looked around in general

3) Installed again, but this time chose "Custom Install"
Here I looked at all the options and I unselected (disabled) those
that had anything at all to do with the administration website or IIS
in general.
Now the install went through OK

4) Installed VMRC+ as the admin app

5) Used VMRC+ to create my first guest machine and continued from
there.
