If your Captools/net Server Control Panel indicates that IIS has failed to start, even after performing the "Utilities/Windows Configuration" process, then the problem may be that there is another application using the IIS port.  An example of this is the VOIP phone program.

 

On opening the IIS manager using the following Server Control Panel command,

 

you will see the notation

 

"Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred."
 

The solution is to change IIS's port (see Alternative IIS Port Specification), or to change the conflicting application's port specification.  In the case of Skype, this can be done by using the "Connection" tab option in the Skype "Options" dialog, and uncheck the "Use Port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections".
