Built-in Servers: IIS on Windows

Windows Vista and Windows 7 can both run versions of the IIS web server. To install it, open the Control Panel and choose Programs and Features; then select Turn Windows features on or off from the left column. Next, select Internet Information Services, and click OK. This will install IIS. After that, you need to set up a site. Again from the Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, then Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. The easiest way to get things running is to create a project directory inside C:\Inetpub\wwwroot, and then point your browser at that directory: http://192.168.0.1/your-directory.
