virtual server 2005

Anyone got the above working?
I can install it, but it wont install the web based admin, so its not much use.
my other option is to write an app to allow me to create virtual servers etc, anyone know of such an app?
Virtual PC is no good as it breaks glass when you run it.

I have just install it without the webadmin bits, then I copied them from another PC, but when I goto the admin site, IE downloads the EXE, IIS7 does not execute it server side like its meant to, I have allowed script and executables in IIS but it seams like its not honoring the setting.
to be honest, I don't think iis7 is stable at all, its causing me no end of trouble.

IIS 7 is a bit difficult at the moment - I tried running some of my www.zacknet.co.uk files locally on our network, and even that fouled up horribly. It really doesn't like PHP files at all, and some of the pages I created as tests such as AJAX pages and Perl pages just errored all over the place. I think they'll get it fixed mind you :o) There doing an awful lot with it!

After installing IIS7 using the command documented in the Release Notes Addendum, I had no trouble installing Virtual Server 2005 R2 on 5308.
How are you installing IIS7?

Go for something like Apache - my web server's running it, works excellently :o)

I got Apache working, but virtual server 2005 doesent work with it, i get funny error about the installation not being correct, i think this is due to my XCOPY install of the website.

I haven't tried any. I don't normally use IIS on my workstations, it's only installed because Virtual Server 2005 needs it for the web admin.
