In order for iService to function as a web application on a Windows server, your server must be setup as both an Application Server and as an IIS Web Server. This can be accomplished by adding these roles to the set of roles your server performs. If your server already has these roles installed, then you may safely skip this section and proceed to “Install Website”
Adding a new role
To add new roles, you need to first log into your server as an Administrator. This need not be the actual Administrator account, but you may see fewer security confirmation dialog boxes if you are. However, Roles require administrative rights to be installed.
Run the Server Manager application to pull up the Role Management tools. This is most commonly accessed from the toolbar at the bottom of the server screen as the computer icon next to the Start button, but if this icon is not present, you can find it by using the Start button and typing in Server Manager in the “Search Programs and Files” field as shown here:
Server Manager
Once the Server Manager is running, select the Roles item in the left pane and then click on Add Roles, which will appear in the far right of the newly opened pane describing existing roles.
Add Roles
Once you've clicked on this, you will be presented with a list of possible roles which can be installed. Select Application Server and Web Server (IIS).
Select Server Roles
When you select Application Server, you will likely be presented with a dialog listing additional features required for the role to perform properly. Click on the Add Required Features button, as shown here:
Add Features
Now, add the Web Server IIS role and check it, as shown here:
Add Web Server
When you check the box for Web Server (IIS), you will be asked about additional setting which are required for the Roles to be installed as you require them. Select the Web Server (IIS) Support feature for the Application Server roles to ensure proper coordination between the two roles.
Select Role Services
Check this box and then Next to continue.
Add role services and features required for Web Server
These additional features are required for IIS to function properly. Click on Add Required Role Features and then click Next. You will be presented with a confirmation dialog confirming that you wish to install the selected items. Proceed, and your server will be updated to provide the required services.
Once the web server is configured, you should install the IIS redirects module are described in the link below. This will redirect any http requests for your iService website to https.

Use the installer from that page as shown below.
