IIS6 Metabase and Configuration Compatibility feature install fails on Windows 7

I'm trying to install the "IIS6 Metabase and Configuration Compatibility" feature on my Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) machine so I can use IIS with my VS2010 installation.

Unfortunately, every time I go to install said update from 'Control Panel->Programs and Features->Turn Windows Features On or Off', it fails with the error message "One or more of the features could not be installed". This is the only feature I'm trying to install, and it is the only one that throws an error. I have already followed the guidelines this user posted here (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/6f3e6f94-ea61-4527-ab7e-cc1a3d1b1f93), none of which worked.

I was able to find an error log file at "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log" containing some relevant information to what the problem might be, but I can't make any sense of it.

Some excerpts below:

This is a mission critical issue for me; any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Not only you find the error non sense, I find it useless as well.

80004005 means generic error, and you have to contact Microsoft support team via http://support.microsoft.com for assistance.

The quickest way may be rebuild this box.
