Answer 1

I'm running Windows 10 build 10240. Turns out the solution for me was turning off my Anti-Virus. Got the idea from this post. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Turning off anti-virus worked for me as well.  I use Avast and just clicked to disable it for 10 minutes.

Answer 3

Are you running 8.1 Pro?

Answer 4

Try this:

1. Open an elevated command prompt
2. In the prompt, type the following command and press Enter. It may take a few minutes for the command to process:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

3. Restart your PC when the command finishes running, then try to install IIS again.
