Install and open IIS8 Express in/at Windows 8.

1. open the Control Panel
2. go to "Programs and Features"
3. click on "Turn Windows features on or off" which takes you to "Windows Features" (I have gotten confused trying to find "Windows Features" before.)
4. under "Internet Information Services," in addition to checking the checkboxes under "World Wide Web Services," remember to go into "Web Management Tools" and check all the checkboxes save for the "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" checkbox (I keep forgetting to do this step and without it there is no frontend interface for IIS.)
5. to then get to the frontend interface for IIS, right-click on the computer icon at the desktop and pick "Manage" which will bring up the "Computer Management" dialog box letting you will find "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" under "Services and Applications"
