iisnode 7.x (64x) full Setup install fails with a message saying a script could not be run

Question

As a result of a question I wrote a little earlier I person was kind enough to write an answer. He suggested installing iisnode to fix a problem where node.js was in the path but docker couldnt find it.. However, on his suggestion I downloaded iisnode for iis 7.x(x64) and proceeded to run it... and with the luck I am having I got the following error..

There was a problem with this Windows Install package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

I have no idea how to solve this.. any ideas.. I have entered docker for this as I suspect this problem has occured for others when they tried to run a dotnet core SPA project...

Sorry my bad English!
I had this issue while i was working with "Plesk" but maybe my solution works for you or others.
First you should go to "C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config".
Make a backup of "applicationHost.config" somewhere.
Then remove every line that contains "iisnode" in that file.
Then try to install "iisnode" again. if it does not work, restart your OS and try again.
If it does not work again, restore your backup and restart your OS and i don't know how you can fix it, Sorry :((
