How do you open IIS (Internet Information Services) Manager using Windows 10?
I have installed the developer preview of Windows 10 and can't seem to find IIS Manager? It is not in Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
When I browse to the folder C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv it is empty.
I did a full search of my hard drive to find inetmgr.exe and found three copies and none of them would open, when I tried to open them it says "This App cannot Run on your PC" To find a version of the App that works contact the publisher.
I know IIS works because I have ran local ASP.net apps through VisualStudio, but I can't seem to find any way to launch IIS Manager to do some configurations for a site.
Anyone know anything about this?

after turning IIS on (by going to Windows Features On/Off) type inetmgr in search bar or run
To install the IIS Management Console under Windows 10 using Powershell with RSAT installed:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName IIS-ManagementConsole -All

I arrived here because I was having the same issue.
If you are here and everything above didn't work, it's likely that you butchered your path somehow.
Go to System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Machine or User
and add the following entry to the end, or append to the existing, separating with a semi-colon:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
After closing and opening your shell, you should now be able to access inetmgr from the command line.
It most likely means that IIS Management Console was not installed, and modern Windows administrator/IT pro should be able to quickly check this by issuing this command:
Get-WindowsFeature *Web*
And if it is missing just quickly add this via the following command:
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Mgmt-Console
GUI options mentioned above are also valid (see answer from @Joe Wu) but PowerShell it is best way to do IT for IT Pro or let's put it as "if you have to do this slightly more often than once a year" :)
Press the Windows Key and type Windows Features, select the first entry Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Make sure the box next to IIS is checked. You good to go.
Actually you must make sure that the IIS Management Console feature is explicitly checked. On my win 10 pro I had to do it manually, checking the root only was not enough!
@user1664035 & @Attila Mika's suggestion worked. You have to navigate to Control Panel -> Programs And Features -> Turn Windows Features On or Off. And refer to the screenshot. You should check IIS Management console.
Launch Windows Features On/Off and select your IIS options for installation.
For custom site configuration, ensure IIS Management Console is marked for installation under Web Management Tools.
