As I found out, IIS does not come with XP home edition.  I had to ugrade
to XP Pro.  If you go to Knowledge base, you will find it neatly hidden
in there.

Ajay,
 
ASP.NET won't run on PWS.
 
Also, I suspect that IIS would run on a home  edition of XP as by default
home is not designed as a server product.
 
Wish you luck.
 
Sam

i've heard that it is possible to 'shoehorn' IIS into XP Home, but it's not
easy (nor recommended).  You may have some luck searching the web.
 
Alternatively you could download the .Net Framework and also 

 <http://www.asp.net/webmatrix> www.asp.net/webmatrix  which is a v small
download and has it's own cut-down web server.  You can get both of these
for free, by the way.

HTH,

Col

I don't know about PWS, but there is a backdoor method to get it working 
on XP home.

First, you need to get the IIS.INF  and IIS.DLL from a working copy of 
windows 2000 (NT)

copy them to your my documents folder (temporarily) and change the names 
to IIS2.INF, IIS2.DLL 

 Place
 
IIS2.INF, place IIS2.INF in C:\WINDOWS\INF 
 
 IIS2.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SETUP 

( This is also where you can find the files in the windows 2000 folder)

 
I grabbed the iis2.dll and iis2.inf from windows 2k pro cd.
 
1) locate and edit the file C:\WINDOWS\INF\SYSOC.INF

(2) locate a section called [Components]

(3) find a line like this:
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7

(4) change it to this (the iis cab in the i386 xp home folder looks to
be nothing)
iis=iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7

(some sort of ms caching thing keeps sticking back iis.dll when I try
to nuke it. quickly renaming and making hidden dir called iis.dll
seems to thwart, but not worth it, so iis2.dll is good enough)


(6) Now when I did "add windows programs" from the control panel's add
new programs, 

I had IIS options and I could even check em off. yippee - could not
check em off from my xppro cd :(((

I just went with the defaulted ones though (all i needed was iis web
server)

(7) It will prompt you for files.  Get em from MS XP Home CDs, Adv
Server CDs, C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\INETSRV, C:\WINDOWS\I386, etc.  (It will
tell you the file it needs, you just need to have a searcher going,
probably the CDs will have all you need)

(8) You can get to your IIS from Control Panel's Administrative 

 
right click and select propeties under the default web server

Go to IIS and goto Directory Security tab and click Edit button  twice ---
--  and change user name to compters user name
Browse for the user setup on my laptop.

(9) Yippee, hello world from http://localhost
