What is the default location of inetmgr.exe of IIS in Windows 7, as none of my Windows searches are working; Any Alternative to access it?

It should be available in following location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe

But when you goto start menu and type inetmgr.exe it should be visible in the list. If not then something wrong with your installation or that file has been deleted.


At first check IIS is installed or not.

For XP

  • Open Control Panel
  • Add-Remove Windows Components.

For Windows 7 / Windows Server 2012

  • Open Control Panel
  • Programs and Features
  • Turn Windows features on or off.

I had the same issue. Go into Control Panel -> Programs-> Turn Windows features on or off.

Click on features for Internet Information Services. Specifically, Web Management Tools and Wold Wide Web Services.

For Web Management Tools ->IIS 6 Management Compatibility ->IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility. (or any other features you think you may need)
