I had IIS 5.1 and just installed IIS 7.5

But when I go to adminstrative tools > internet information services, I see my computer name and under version it says IIS 5.1. I tried disconnect and connect but no luck.

Anyone knows how to use my new IIS?

You installed IIS 7.5 Express, the full IIS 7.5 only runs on Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008R2.

IIS Express does not have a user interface nor any entries in your start menu. You usually use it from within Visual Studio or Web Matrix.

There are some third party tools that add a UI to it, CodePlex has some.

The files are in:

C:\Program Files\IIS Express

and the configuration for your sites is stored in:

C:\Users\username\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config

On XP this path looks a bit different
