Is it possible to install IIS 6 on a windows 7 machine?

Is it possible to install IIS 6.0 on a windows 7 machine? If I go through add windows features, it doesn't give me an option to install IIS 6.

When I searched on google I came across alternatives such as this. But I was just curious if what I am asking is possible. On one hand IIS is just a software, so you'd guess it is possible. On the other hand it is integrated so deep into the windows operating system, maybe there is no way to achieve it without modifying the operating system itself. I wonder if there are any insiders from Microsoft who would have some insight into this.

I talked to one of the Microsoft experts at my work place. IIS 6.0 can ONLY be installed on Windows 2003 server. IIS 5.0 onwards, IIS has been tied to the operating system.

Try to install the tools for Vista instead.

If you're looking to administer classic ASP sites on a Windows 7 machine, there still are options though. Check out this article.
