Installing the IIS6 configuration compatibility component on IIS7 - since most setup technologies use IIS6 configuration APIs to configure IIS - fixed my problem.

Here's what I did:

In the Control Panel->Programs->Add/Remove Windows Features, I scrolled down to Internet Information Services->Web Management Tools->IIS 6 Management Compatibility. This folder was checked, but non of the folders within it were checked, so I checked all of them, and restarted the computer.
Now I was able to install the example code without any problems.
