If you are wanting to uninstall IIS, do it you would any other program through the control panel. HTH.

Hi. I had this exact same problem and it frustrated the hell out of me for days. I have a solution though.
  • In the start menu Run services.msc
  • Scroll down to World Wide Publishing Service
  • Click Stop

Hope this helps!

It's probably best not to run Apache and IIS7 on the same machine but sometimes it's unavoidable. In this case you should be running the servers on different ports. Chose which server should be listening on port 80 (the default port) and configure the other server to be listing on another port of your choosing.

This way you can run both servers on the same box without running into the problems that you are running into.
