Installing IIS on XP Pro
So, I go to install IIS, this is after I've installed XP Pro and SP1 along with all the current hotfixes.

I get told to insert the XP CD, which I do

I then get told that default.asp cant be found on the CD, so I go searching for it.

Lo and behold no sign of the file on the disk (or in the cab files or simply default.as_ )

So I decide to skip that one. Not too bothered about default ASP pages because Im building a new web anyway.

Then it starts asking me for .dll files that are not on the CD either. At this stage the setup cannot continue because the .dll files cant be installed.

Why is it asking me for files when clearly these files are missing from the CD or called something different?

Any ideas what I could do next?

I cannot install Apache or Linux for the purpose of this website.

Re: Installing IIS on XP Pro
I know XP homo doesnt have IIS. I won't ask the stupid question so I will suggest that you either hassle your supplier or either download XP from somewhere naughty

Re: Installing IIS on XP Pro
On my copy of XP Pro the default.as_ file is in the i386 folder along with iis.cab and a couple more files that seem relevant.

Re: Installing IIS on XP Pro
Is this 'a legitimate CD of Windows XP' or what.

Re: Installing IIS on XP Pro
This is on an MS Volume Licensing CD (ie the media but no key). It was purchased by my Company Legitimate from MS themselves (or at least a reseller - Its got the Hologram and everything). It was also installed legitimatly with a real Key etc. for my Company Laptop.

The same CD was used to install XP initially.

I can find an IIS6.cab file, but it does not contain a default.asp file, and also the windows installer browser wont let me choose cab files in place of the asp file.

Obviously. Seems strange that a non OEM or Retail copy of XP doesnt have the correct files required to install IIS after initial install. Mind you this is Microsoft we are talking about.....

Re: Installing IIS on XP Pro
They probably work on the 'why would a normal user need iis' principle.

The CD's HP supply to me all have it as does my upgrade copy

I wonder what else is missing.

Re: Installing IIS on XP Pro
It would appear that this problem only occurs if you install SP1, so my advice is anyone needing IIS on XP install Before applying SP1a, infact I suggest installing all the windows apps you need, seems the service pack install might be flawed.
