Hi Meekal,

I have gone through the steps as directed at 1a, however when i bring up "add / remove windows components," there is no IIS or its associated box to be able to tick. I did a "search" on my computer for "internet information server," however there does not appear to be such a file on my computer. Do you know how to get around this (i am using Windows XP.)

Cheers - Bob

Bob - You're using XP HOME right? That's why I believe.

yup.... it's the HOME Edition of XP (and w2k) that sux.


from http://www.theeldergeek.com/running_iis_on_xp_home_edition.htm
Running IIS and PWS on XP Home
Many users have asked what happened to Internet Information Services (IIS) or Personal Web Server (PWS) in XP Home Edition. The official response from Microsoft is below.

"Windows XP Home Edition does not include or support any versions (1.0, 2.0, 4.0) of Microsoft Personal Web Server (PWS). Users that need Web server functionality in a desktop operating system should use Windows XP Professional."

At one time there was a workaround in the Knowledge Base (Q310090) that has since disappeared. I don't have a copy of it, but if you do I'd appreciate you e-mailing me a copy. In the meantime, check out the link at
