How to install IIS World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC)?

I'm trying to start my Default Web Site in ISS7 Manager and it says I need IIS World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC). I recently just got the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and that feature was turned on in the Server Manager. W3SVC isn't listed in the features. How can I get this?

This is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter on a remote desktop from my Windows 7 OS.

Thanks.

The short answer is that you go to the Programs and Features control panel applet. Then click on Turn Windows Features On and Off and enable the assorted IIS-related features you need.

Or you could optionally use the Web Platform installer to turn on and setup the generally used defaults for IIS. – Chris – 2013-09-01T00:58:34.007

To install the World Wide Web Publishing Service

On the Start menu, select Settings, Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
In the Components list, select the Application Server check box, and then click Details.
Select Internet Information Services Manager, and then click Details.
Select World Wide Web Service, and then select the check box. Click OK two times to return to the Components list, and then click Next.
Click Finish when the IIS service is installed.
