This issue can be resolved by registering ASP.NET in IIS. Follow the below steps to register ASP.NET in IIS:
· Run aspnet_regiis.exe using the administrator command prompt. Run aspnet_regiis.exe for the highest available framework on your machine. If you have the 4.0 framework, run the .exe from the following folder:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.21006
· If you have only the 3.5 framework, run the .exe from the following folder:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
Please refer the below screen shot.
This will solve the “Service unavailable error” in IIS.
