I am having a problem with our Exchange box where the IISAdmin service wasn't starting causing other problems. &nbsp;I went through the process of uninstalling IIS. &nbsp;Now I am trying to re-install but the W3SVC service does not install. &nbsp;Everything else that I select for IIS installs correctly but non W3SVC installs which is preventing me from fixing Exchange. &nbsp;Any thoughts on why that particular part of IIS would not install? &nbsp;I followed &nbsp;this article to removed IIS and re-install.

IIS installs but W3SVC does not

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
