Prerequisites

The prerequisite operating system for BIS for Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) running on a host machine running Windows 10 or later

In addition, Internet Information Server (IIS) must be installed before BIS can be installed. The procedure for installing IIS is dependent on the version of Windows.

When BIS is installed on certain non-server operating systems there are connection limit restrictions that prevent use as a real-world web server. These systems, however, do work well for BIS/IIS application development and testing.

  1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
  1. Click Turn Windows Features On and Off.

  2. From the Windows Features dialog box, as a minimum, make the following selections:

        • IIS Management Console 1
