ArcGIS Web Adaptor requires that IIS and specific IIS components be enabled on supported Windows operating systems. The setup will not proceed if IIS is not detected and specific IIS components are not enabled.

Caution:

You must enable IIS and the required components before proceeding with the ArcGIS Web Adaptor installation.

If you've already enabled IIS but are missing the required IIS components, the installation displays a message indicating that IIS components are missing. You have the option to allow the Web Adaptor installation to automatically enable the required IIS components. You can alternatively enable the components manually. The setup will not proceed if the required IIS components are not enabled.
