Once I got to 2.8 - "Manuallys enable each of hte required Windows Features", it no longer worked. I tried to manually turn on the Windows features, primarily the IIS, but it errors out. I currently have a local version of SharePoint installed to my computer but it will not let me access it. Each time I try to go to my SharePoint site the following error pops up:

I believe it won't let me access it because the IIS isn't turned on. I have also had an error in the past that says the following "

Would anyone happen to know how to permanently keep the IIS feature on? It is downloaded on my computer but it isn't working.

Thanks,

Greg
