Configuration IIS 7 (Windows Vista)

By default, IIS 7.0 is not installed on Windows Vista. You can install IIS by clicking Windows Features in Advanced Options under Programs in Control Panel.

When running Windows 32 bit:

• Create an App_Code folder, if you don't already have one, in c:\inetpub\wwwroot.
• Copy the Mod-H264-Streaming module (mod_h264_streaming.dll) into this directory (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\app_code).

When running Windows 64 bit:

• Enable 32 bit applications on win 64. See: ​IIS7 - Running 32-bit and 64-bit ASP.NET versions at the same time on different worker processes.
• Copy the Mod-H264-Streaming module (mod_h264_streaming.dll) into either (%windir%\syswow64\inetsrv) or (%windir%\system32\inetsrv) depending on your windows version.

Open up IIS Manager.
