IIS Feature Requirement for SQL Server 2005 Setup on Windows7/Vista

I was always having trouble remembering the IIS Requirements for SQL Server 2005. I am working with Reporting Services, and due to the IIS Requirement failure, I was unable to completely configure my Reporting Service.I was unable to get Report Manager and so could not deploy my reports on local host.

Warning message for the IIS Feature Requirement item on the System Configuration Check page in the SQL Server 2005 Setup program:
"Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online."

Here is the solution for successful configuration of IIS.
On Windows 7:
Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features ON or OFF -> Internet Information Services.
