I stopped IIS7 via the IIS Manager, and now can't restart it! I get the "Cannot start service W3SVC on computer '.'" message. Following that up, I went to try to remove IIS and reinstall…. but when I get to the Windows Features list, IIS is not listed to either Remove OR Add!
Still shows up in IIS manager, but I can't start it.
Anyone got any useful ideas/clues?
