If you are using a Vista Home Premium or Ultimate you need to turn your IIS on by clicking the “Programs and features” icon on your Control Panel and then click the “Turn Windows features on or off” option. Check the IIS items and click the OK button. Your IIS web server should be ready in a few minutes. You cannot use a Vista Home Basic system as your web server. The url http://localhost/ will not work even you turn on IIS because it does not have the required features for a web server as the other editions. To test your ASP .NET pages on a Vista Home Basic system you need at least to have Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. Open your web site with VS 2002, 2003, 2008 or VWD 2008, build your website and then start Without Debugging. You will be able to view your web pages.
