First thing is to make sure that you are not using Windows 7 Home Edition. It is my understanding that Microsoft IIS does not come with it. Second, make sure you have the Windows 7 DVD handy ( you may need it during installation ).
1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
2. Click on Turn Windows features on or off.
3. When another dialog box that contains a list of many Windows relates services appear, check the box for 'Internet Information Services (IIS)'. Leave all the default installation settings intact ( unless you want additional services .. like FTP, etc ).
4. Click OK. Installation will start. It may prompt you for the Windows 7 DVD.
Once installation is complete, you may go to Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and you may configure your web site from there. I also notice that you can have more than 1 website. This option was not available in Windows XP. I am not sure about Vista.
Anyhow, there you go.
