is there some exception log or something that would tell me whats wrong?

There are lots of bits to IIS that can get in the way.

If you are not intending to use it you can uninstall it, it is not an integral part of windows so its being uninstalled wont effect normal operations of windows, and if you need to install it again later, it comes as part of the standard OS so you wont need to do anything perticularly clever.

So go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Click the 'Turn windows features on and off' link in the left hand menu.
Wait for the list to load and then find 'Internet Information Services'

Un check the check boxes for the following items ( you may not see all of them )

1. IIS
2. Web Deploy 2.0
3. MS Sql Server Reporting service.
4. BranchCache ( Windows 8.1 )

Windows will then have a think for a while and then remove those applications, you will probably be asked to reboot to complete the uninstalls.
Reboot anyway when the uninstalls are complete.

Then try wamp again.


Alternativeley just disable it.

Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

Find IIS in the list of services.
Left Click that line and select Properties
Change the 'Startup Type' to disabled.

You may need to tdo this to MS Sql Server Reporting as well.

something to do with the 64-bit version
i uninstalled it and installed the 32-bit version and wammo it worked right out of the gate

I had a very similar problem stemming from WIN IIS also.. To resolve it this is what I did..

Go to programs and features I am sure you know where that is, Click Turn windows features on or off, After list populates look for Internet Information Services click the plus sign to the left of that and in the sub directory uncheck both FTP server and Web Management Tools. Also uncheck Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core, Then restart your machine. When your system Is fully booted up, click wampserver tray icon and start all services. The wampserver Icon should cycle red/orange/then green. Once it turns green click it again and put server online. You should be good from there. I hope this helps you it worked for me.

Yes, for some strange reason the default install of Windows seems to install IIS. I thought it was only Windows 8 but it appears to be some Windows 7 releases as well.

I have no idea why your average user would want this installed as 99% of windows users would not know what a web server was, and 99.9% would have no idea how to use it.

Also I would consider having an unknown web server on my desktop system, which would appear to be turned on as its using port 80, to be a HUGH security risk. After all if you dont know its there until you install something else that tries to use port 80, how are you going to make sure its secure?

In my opinion it should be uninstalled asap unless you are using it.
