DSpace is a Java web application, so must be run through a Java Web
Application Server. The two most commonly used are Tomcat or Jetty.
IIS is not a Java web application server, so can not natively run DSpace.
Tomcat will run fine on Windows, so you can just use that if you want. A
large percentage run it on unix machines, but there are plenty who use
Windows.
If you want to run DSpace along with other applications (in IIS) on the same
server, this should be possible by running Tomcat and IIS together. You can
set up an ISAPI filter to forward certain paths (e.g. /dspace/) to Tomcat in
the same way that mod_jk works with Apache.
I hope this helps,
Stuart
