Can someone point me in the right direction? I probably have a silly permission issue somewhere. I am running CF23 on Windows 11. This is a dev set up using IIS. I have multiple IIS sites and I went to add another site in IIS and run the wsconfig like normal, but getting the error message: "Unable to configure IIS Connector. Enabled the required ISAPI options ....". I have solved this once before, but can't remember the steps. All of the existing CF sites on IIS are working like normal. Just can't add any new ones. I don't see any entries in any log files that are meaningful and googling just returns the general IIS services that need to be enabled - which they all selected.

Go to Turn Windows features on or off -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features. Enable the ISAPI options. Or use CommandBox to spin up development servers. Usually a better option unless you are required to use IIS to match production.

Yes, all fully checked.
Weird, because I have 5 sites in IIS that are running just fine. Only on added new sites do I get that error

Fred Flintstone suggests making sure you're logged in as an admin 🙂

Always a good reminder Dave.
I solved it. I was adding and removing the features through the GUI, but there was some issue behind the scenes (I guess)
When I went through powershell using "Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -online | Where {$_.FeatureName -like 'IIS*'} | Sort FeatureName | Format-Table", it showed that a couple of those were in fact really disabled
Even though I disabled / enabled in the GUI a million times (with reboots)
Going through PS did the trick and made sure they were really enabled and the web connector works again like normal

Ugh.
