I'm used to setting up CF9 (Dev edition) on my Windows using Apache. I would like to try using IIS7 that comes with Win7 Pro. What are the steps to set it up so that I can have:

www.siteA.dev

www.siteB.dev

Both of these point to 127.0.0.1 via windows host file. I would like siteA.dev & siteB.dev to use 2 different CF instances.

I already installed CF9 dev edition with 2nd option. What should I do next?

Do I need to use IIS manager? Or the CF's Web Server Config tool is all I need?

Where to enter the data to IIS like vhost in Apache?

Thank you
