my friend has xp and i want to build a little website for him using asp, but i cant find personal web server or IIS?

How can i do this?
 
IIS is only included with XP Pro, not Home. Microsoft says that Personal Web Server will not run on XP, but they also said that about Windows Me [smile].

Anyway, you can install Apache, and get an ASP component for it.
 
i read a little about apache on their website and its not all that promising. Known bogs with dynamic content and asp needs perl mod version.

do you think if i installed pws from a win98 cd that it could work?
I also have a win2000 server cd that surely has iis.

if i go with apache, i think i would go with php and mySql, which isnt exactly a native language to me yet.
