Display Images with IIS7 in Vista or Windows 2008

So, this may seem simple, but for an hour I wrestled with displaying images on IIS7 with vista. ASP.NET worked fine, but no static files, css, jpg’s, gif’s or anything. Just unformatted text.

Turns out when I added the web server in vista, I forgot to check the Static Content checkbox under World Wide Web Services / Common Http Features.

Hope this finds you if you are having the same problem.



















For other non-Vista users, here’s how you find that dialog:

Click Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off

Then drill down into IIS as shown in the image above.
