The Default Web Site is missing in IIS for Win 7

Problem: 

When I try to create a virtual web directory under the Default Web Site in IIS, I found that the Default Web Site is missing. Only the MDS one is there. The default one was actually deleted when I played with Master Data Service in SQL Server 2012.


Solution:

Following the steps in this post (i.e., back the folders/files, uninstall IIS and Windows Process Activation Service from the Program/Feature in Control Panel)

It's up now!


But when I try to open the order page, I get this:


Reason: 

I have Visual Studio installed before the newly re-installed IIS. I need to register the .ASP.NET version for the IIS.

Solution:

Open a command prompt and go to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319). Run aspnet_regiis -i. 

Oops!


Found this one:

Open IIS manager, select Application Pools, select the application pool you are using, click on Advanced Settings in the right-hand menu.  Under General, set "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to "True".


It finally shows up now!
