I'm trying to start my Default Web Site in ISS7 Manager and it says I need IIS World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC). I recently just got the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and that feature was turned on in the Server Manager. W3SVC isn't listed in the features. How can I get this?

This is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter on a remote desktop from my Windows 7 OS.

Thanks.

The short answer is that you go to the Programs and Features control panel applet. Then click on Turn Windows Features On and Off and enable the assorted IIS-related features you need.
