SelfSSL and IIS7 / IIS7.5 (error 0×80040154)

Error 0×80040154 indicates SelfSSL can’t open the metabase – which is to be expected on IIS 7 or IIS 7.5 by default as the metabase changed significantly from IIS6 to IIS7 (and SelfSSL is an IIS6 resource kit tool).
On IIS7 and IIS7.5, you need to install the IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility role service to be able to use SelfSSL. You don’t need any of the other IIS 6 role services installed.
