Cannot install Powershell Snap-in

iis, iis-7, powershell

Solution

As the error suggests, it should already be installed as part of your Windows 7 operating system.

You may need to execute (or add to your profile) the following statement to load the module:

import-module WebAdministration

Problem

When executing iis7psprov_x64.msi I immedialy receive a message saying: The PowerShell snap-in is part of Windows Operating System. Please install it via 'Programs and Freatures' or 'Server Manager' Extracting the msi and attempting to run it that way also yields the same message. I am installing on Win7(64bit) with IIS 7.0.
