There was an internal error when querying iis 7.0 for profiling

Question

I have a WCF Service that is running too slow.

I wanted to profile it, so I followed the instructions found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2s0xxa1d.aspx

When I try to start up the profiling I get this error:

There was an internal error when querying IIS 7.0 for profiling. Ensure that you have all of the following Internet Information Services (IIS) and IIS 6 Management Compatibility components installed:

Web Server,

Windows Authentication,

ASP.NET,

IIS Metabase Compatibility,

IIS 6 WMI Compatibility,

IIS 6 Scripting Tools

The service runs just fine normally. Do I really need to install IIS 6 stuff to get the profiling to work?
