Install Error on Windows Vista SP1 PC

Question

User900737015 posted

I get the following error when I try to install the URL Rewrite Module on my Windows Vista SP1 (with IIS 7.0 installed) PC.

"IIS Version 7.0 or greater is required to install Microsoft URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7.0."

Any ideas how to work around this error?

Thanks,

Mike

Is this a 32bit or 64bit OS?

Can you run the msi using the following command:

msiexec /I rewrite_x86_TP1.msi /lv C:\rewritemsi.log

And then send me the produced log file.

I discovered that the installation program requires elevated privileges to run error-free on our PCs. If you run the MSI file directly or run it using MSIEXEC signed in as an administrator on the PC, the errror occurs. However, if you open the command prompt using the "Run as administrator" option and then install from the command prompt, it installs successfully.
