I'm trying to start my Default Web Site in ISS7 Manager and it says I need IIS World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC). I recently just got the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and that feature was turned on in the Server Manager. W3SVC isn't listed in the features. How can I get this?
This is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter on a remote desktop from my Windows 7 OS.
Thanks.

1To install the World Wide Web Publishing Service
- On the Start menu, select Settings, Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs
