have you tried running aspnet_regiis?

open up a command prompt as administrator and cd to C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.net\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\ then run

aspnet_regiis -i

and see if that creates your iusr accounts. Don't forget to mark the question you asked related to this a few hours ago as answer as well.
