The Module DLL C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\logcust.dll failed to load.  The data is the error.

The Module DLL C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll failed to load.  The data is the error.

They indicate some IIS features need to be enabled.   The easiest and quickest is enable all IIS features instead of figuring out which one are needed exactly.
