It's free and 10 times better.
You can't download it or anything like that, it comes with Windows XP Pro, Server 2003, Windows 2000 Pro/Server.
Are you willing to go for a slightly difficult workaround?
I had the same problem with Windows XP Home earlier, and I had attempted it. I posted a workaround that was floating on the net a while ago, but there are no guarantees it will work. Do a search for "Windows XP Home IIS" by user mendhak.
If that doesn't work, try to install PWS instead.
For the record, I did eventually move over to Win XP Pro, I needed IIS.
Quote:
(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)
(5) I grabbed the iis.dl_ and iis.in_ from win2k advanced server cd.
I would guess similar techniques would work from W98, FP, etc. Use "EXPAND IIS.DL_ IIS2.DLL" from a command prompt Same for IIS2.INF, place IIS2.INF in C:\WINDOWS\INF and IIS2.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SETUP
(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 Programs. I stuck in an index.html file and reconfigure IIS to work like this.
No go ((
I right clicked on my inetpub folder and did something with shared folders.
No go ((
I looked at the event viewer and saw the error of my ways. Go to IIS and goto Directory Security tab and click Edit button and Browse for the user setup on my laptop.
(9) Yippee, hello world from http://localhost
I won't support this solution unless paid to. I am an out of work developer looking for work.
I bought a Toshiba 5005 laptop which came with XP home. I then bought Win XP Professional. I have bunches of CDs from when I was a MSDN subscriber. From a general search on the internet I found contradictions.
Microsoft says you need professional XP to do IIS period. q310090 was yanked from their site which had the "workaround" for this.
When I tried to setup XP upgrade to pro, my laptop rebooted and hung on an xp logo with an animated graphic. I have verified this to be the case with others as well. Upgrading to xp pro isn't an option for this laptop."
OkI downloaded apache and installed it but how to i get it to work? what do i put in the following entrys to setit up so i can see it from another comp?
Network Dommain ?? I have no idea here
Server Name?? is this http://localhost/
Admin email address??
ur help is much apcirated on this otherwise i will try the iis aproach.
Cheers

The apache configuration file is the httpd.conf file. The default configuration file should have apache up and running. When started navigating to the following address will take you to apache's default start page:
http://127.0.0.1/
If you want others to see your server from the outside world - you need to know your IP address.
What do you need IIS for? If it's to learn ASP.NET then download WebMatrix it's a free IDE with a built in Server, but it will only be good for testing and learning.

And I thought *my* post was a little too esoteric.
