IIS refuses to install

[Guest]

I want to install some of the additional components and have selected IIS,
but the install says it cannot find 'staxmem.dl_'. When I browse and select
the file (that does exist on the CD), the same error box returns. If I
cancel, the install program then barfs on the next file it wants to install.

Why does this happen? How do I correct the behaviour?

As a further comment, I have tried the solution suggested in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=894351. Unfortunately, as I am trying to
install off of WinXP (including SP2), this solution does NOT work. The
program xpsp2.exe does NOT exist (anywhere). Can I suggest that the
"solution" is reworked for the current "slipstreamed" XPSP2 that is now being
distributed?

No way when there is XP Home installed. You need XP Pro in order
to install IIS. See also

I must have omitted the fact that my OS is WinXP Pro SP2 and NOT Home.

Your solution would probably be fine if I could remember my German lessons
that I had in Zurich 12 years ago. However, as I have now forgotten most of
that, the reference was not intelligible for me.

Having got that off my back, I can now report that I have, in fact, solved
my difficulty with this install of the optional extras. The answer lay in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555268/en-us, which seems to refer
specifically to the current slipstreamed version of XP rather than the more
popular reference on this forum
(http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=894351), which ONLY applies
to XP when there is a seperate SP2 CD to install.

Okay, thanks for that feedback.

How about in my case? I have WinXP Pro SP2 installed which was originally
installed from a non SP2 CD. I was sent a CD for SP2, but I can't seem to
integrate the SP2 CD into the harddrive like article 894351 suggests. My
computer doesn't recognize the xpsp2 command. When I install IIS, I can get
it to accept staxmem.dl_ off the original WinXP Pro CD, but it then is unable
to find the file adsutil.vbs. I haven't been able to find that file anywhere
on either CD or my harddrives. I have tried the alternate

ideas?
