IIS as in Microsoft Internet Information Services? Why did you need to install that exactly? And why are you installing DirectX?
Is this game related? An old game?
You have made no reference to what you’re trying to do or why you’re installing any of this. When the error shows, what you were trying to do before the error shows. Please explain.
First off, I’d probably uninstall IIS “stuff”

What is the oldest game called?
Do you have .Net framework enabled?
I don’t get the necessity to have IIS installed, regardless of the age of the game. (But I don’t know everything)
Usually, the install procedure of a game would install the required DirectX version needed for that particular game.
Generally, a game from back then would require DirectX 10. Although DirectX 12 was available in 2014. I believe Windows 11 has DirectX 12 preinstalled.

Not sure that the 32bit files FarCry 4 uses are compatible with the Windows 64bit system, I am not sure.
Actually, I still play Unreal Tournament - Black Edition 32 bit on 11 and it still plays well.
This is a game from 2007. I also have quite a few more 32bit games that play well in 11
This is through Steam so, it might be different if installed through an .exe or DVD.
