You might find the box is blank. Instead, it should be full of options. This means the MetaBase.XML file in "C:WINDOWSsystem32inetsrv" is missing some parameters.
You can correct this manually. First, stop the IIS Admin Service and all dependecies. Then make a copy the current MetaBase.XML file. Then open the MetaBase.XML file in notepad. (The default view is in IE which will not work.) (Turn off word wrap.)
Locate the following piece of code. It should be near the top 1/4 of the file. (The actual AdminACL will vary and this example has been changed for security purposes.)

Save the file and restart all the stopped services. You will have all of your selections now.
