Open your control panel. Click Start -> then Settings -> then Control Panel
Select and Open "Add or Remove Programs"
On the left column of the popup window select "Add or Remove Windows Components"

If IIS is not checked then check it, otherwise you already have IIS installed on your computer
Click Next and follow the on screen instructions from the installer
When it has completed, open up Internet Explorer and type in http://localhost
