Hi
I am a .NET developer and have recently switched to using Windows 8 (Single Language edition).
I have previously created an Installer using Inno Setup and have been using it since Windows XP and 7.
The installer copies web app files to the target pc/server and runs a few IIS script to create the virtual
application.

I am now facing a problem with my IIS Manager after running this installer on my Windows 8 pc. Somehow
these script have corrupted or mess up my IIS Manager. I can no longer manage my localhost website after
running this installer. The groups under Connections (where we can see Sites, Application Pool, etc) is now
missing! They work on previous versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows 7) and Windows Server.

I tried uninstalling (removing IIS manager via Control Panel > Turn Windows Features On or Off) and reinstalling
again, but it does not work.
I also tried using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer to uninstall & reinstall IIS, still no luck. I am close to restoring my pc to Factory Default as a last resort to solve this issue.
Assistance from anyone who may have come across this issue in this will be very much appreciated. Kindly let me know if you need additional information.
Thank You.
