How to add ASP.NET 4.0 as Application Pool on IIS 7, Windows 7

Configuring servers is not my strong suit by any means. I'm trying to move a development project to Windows 7. One of the things that I need to run the application is to select ASP.NET v4.0 as the application pool within IIS.

I went through the directions in the following link to make sure that the proper Application Development Options were selected:

From within the IIS Manager, I select Application Pools and only see
- Classic .NET AppPool
- DefaultAppPool

I need to also be able to select from
- ASP.NET v4.0
- ASP.NET v4.0 Classic

How can I add these to the list of available application pools?

In the top level of the IIS Manager (above Sites), you should see the Application Pools tree node. Right click on "Application Pools", choose "Add Application Pool".

Give it a name, choose .NET Framework 4.0 and either Integrated or Classic mode.

When you add or edit a web site, your new application pools will now show up in the list.

I just encountered this and whilst we already had .NET 4.0 installed on the server it turns out we only had the "Client Profile" version and not the "Full" version. Installing the latter fixed the problem.
