IIS and Windows XP Home Edition

[Scooby62]

Hi.

I just wondered if there is easy way to get IIS working on Windows XP Home Edition.

Specific instructions/files/etc would be helpful.

Thanks.

Hi here is the installation instructions:

After that, copy your web content in the

http://wwwroot

directory.

Post here any problems you may encounter.



Hope this helps. Please let know if this resolve your issue

These instructions assume you have IIS in your list. I have Windows XP Home Edition. This is the whole problem.

Afraid you will have to upgrade to XP Pro or a windows server edition.

Others I have talked to have tried putting IIS on XP home, and have had nothign but problems with it.

This is what I thought. Damn Microsoft.

It's nice to have it confirmed though.

Thanks Gary.

This is not true. There is a work around.
See:

You may need to download the trial version of windows 2000 server or 2003 server (see instructions).

Hope this helps.
