Hi Rick,
It is web connect 6.20. I have long lasted COM start up problem like 'Invalid Com Server ProgId'. I put code in Server functions OnInit, OnInitComplited, onLoad to get errors in wcTraceLog.txt and check in wcErrors.txt for errors from Net Handler 6.20. So far there are no application code errors. In this case I started to make new server windows 2012 R2 to make installation by your recommendations and avoid 'System problems'. I log machine as administrator, run scripts 'Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process', 'Install-IIS-Features.psl' in 'Administrator Windows PowerShell'
It gave the errors.
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : One or several parent features are disabled so current feature can not be enabled.

2 features were added manually with Server Manager add rolls and features wizard. There are Net Extensibility 4.5, and ASP.NET 4.5.
What is IIS-ASPNET at line 32? The wizard has features: ASP.NET 3.5, or ASP. There is no feature ASP.NET. I found this feature in list IIS available features and try to install it again. It wasn't installed with the same error message. How to install it?
Thank you, Kuzma Karbachinskiy KKarbachinskiy@oneworldonestop.com
What version of Windows Server? This script will only work with Server 2008 R2 and later.

Hi Rick,
Windows server version is 2012 R2. The error said: 'One or several parent features are disabled so current feature can not be enabled.' Is it critical to have it enabled? If it is could you advice about 'One or several parent features' that have to be enabled before. Please see IIS_available_features list.

I'm guessing it's the .NET roles that are not installing properly. They need to be installed in the right order - if you have an older script I believe there was a problem with that order.
This is what ships currently and I've used this script on many new servers (although 2016 and later):
# This script installs IIS and the features required to
# run Web Connection.
#
# * Make sure you run this script from a Powershel Admin Prompt!
# * Make sure Powershell Execution Policy is bypassed to run these scripts:
# * YOU MAY HAVE TO RUN THIS COMMAND PRIOR TO RUNNING THIS SCRIPT!
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
# To list all Windows Features: dism /online /Get-Features
# Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online
# LIST All IIS FEATURES:
# Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online | where FeatureName -like 'IIS-*'

It's also possible that the name of the .net roles might be slightly different on older versions of server because at the time .NET 4.5 was .NET 4.0. List the IIS features and see what the NetFx and ASPNet feature names are and adjust the script accordingly.
If that's it, please report back - it might be a good idea to provide a second script (or at least comments in the script) that provide for the older versions of Server.
Then again if you are installing a new server - why install an old OS that's going to be end of life that much sooner?

Hi Rick,
You were right that old script is different to new one. I checked IIS Installed Features list on the server and verified that all IIS features in new script are enabled in IIS. I asked about IIS-ASPNET feature that is absent in new script. I found you post on https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2017/may/25/automating-iis-feature-installation-with-powershell#what-windows-optional-features-are-available
that IIS-ASPNET feature is absent also. Old script missed
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName IIS-HttpRedirect
This statement is in new script. The old OS selected by my manger. It is happened 1 year ago. Application is running well. I need just repeat this installation with corrected System. Manager'll be in 1 week later and I'll let him know. I hope I can proceed to next step to install web connect.

Like I said in my previous message: I think the feature names have been renamed. The new names have the version number associated wit the .NET features (ie. 45 postfix).
I suppose I should update the Weblog post with latest version.
