Win 2008 r2 – iis 7.5 – doesn’t have “Import Application…”

deploymentiis-7.5netvisual studio 2010windows-server-2008-r2

i have the local developement machine (win 7) with iis 7.5.7600 and i can deploy a website from .zip file that was generated with visual studio 2010 using "Import Application…" link in an iis website

However the win 2008 r2 server that has same iis version doesn't have "Import Application…" link, it only has "add application from gallery"

the question is how do i deploy it on the server?

***removed secondary question****

using framework 4

You're missing components. The default install doesn't have the import feature. You'll need Web Deploy added into the mix. Download web deploy here. That should do the trick. Here's A little more detail on this solution.

Edit: you'll need to restart the service after adding the component.
