Fortress Server on Windows 7?

[dist0rti0n]

Is it possible to get Fortress Server to install on Windows 7?

When I attempt to run the installer it says:

SourceGear Fortress Server cannot be installed on systems with Internet Information Services version smaller than 5.0

Which of course is not the case - so I'm curious to see if a work-around exists.

Thanks in advance!

Windows 7 isn't fully supported with Fortress yet. We're testing it though.

Which version of Fortress are you installing? Which version of Windows 7?

Can you pull up your IIS Manager and provide the location on disk that you have the website pointing to?

After digging a little further, it seems like the error is indicating that you are installing an earlier version of Fortress. Fortress 2.0 is likely to have success with Windows 7, but earlier versions are like to have errors. I'm very certain that any of the Fortress 1.0.x versions won't work on Windows 7.

I'm installing Fortress 2.0.1 but I think I have it figured out.

The standard installation of Windows 7 doesn't add IIS - something I assumed would be there. So the installer goes out and tries to find it, but can't. Instead of accurately reporting that IIS isn't available at all, it says that it needs version 5.0 or better.

Once I realized that and added the IIS components it worked like a champ.

Thanks for your help!
