There are a couple of ways this can be done. IIS7 introduced the integrated pipeline. Many IIS6 developed applications can handle running as is in the IIS7 integrated pipeline, but for the ones that can't there are a couple of options for what can be done. The easiest thing to do would be to switch the app pool the site or application is running to 'Classic' mode instead of using the integrated pipeline. This will allow the application to be fully backwards compatible. However, there are several IIS7 features you would not be able to take advantage of by running in Classic mode.

If that is not the best option for your situation then the web.config for the application will need to be converted to use the integrated pipeline. You can go through this manually, or there is a command that can be run to convert a web.config to the IIS7 format:

Example:

%SystemRoot%system32inetsrvappcmd migrate config "Default Web Site/".
