I would like to install FastCGI on IIS 7.5 on my Windows 7 Home Premium box I use at home to do some random coding. However WPI doesn't show the FastCGI option and I can't find it in IIS at all…
How do I do this just one installer, I've seen FastCGI installs for IIS 5.1 and IIS6 but it says FastCGI should be a part of IIS already… It is not in WPI and not in "Turn windows features on or off"…
I'm lost!

You don't need to run a separate install to use FastCGI. It is integrated with IIS7.5 but you need to activate the CGI feature on your machine. To do this:
After the feature activation finishes, go to IIS manager on your local machine. You should see the FastCGI Settings under the 'IIS' section.
