Is it possible to install IIS on XP Home?

[Robert S]

I have an app that requires IIS. I've only got XP home. I can't find IIS
on the installation disk (Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs etc).

Is there a way of installing IIS on XP Home?

I don't believe you can do this. IIS requires Pro. If you just need a
webserver, try Apache.

A *sure* way? No.

You could use some other web server software - but IIS is a "professional"
product.. Available on Windows XP Professional and Windows server products.
It is *not* available for Windows XP Home Edition.

You can try one of the many sites (Google is great - should try it!) that
claim to have the answer you seek, for example:
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020118.htm
or
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Q_20844896.html

Otherwise, you could use something like Apache or one of the many other web
servers out there. Last I read, Apache did not DIRECTLY support ASP, but
with the correct "add-on", it supports it as well as IIS.

No. If you need IIS, you'll need to upgrade to WinXP Pro.

No. This is one of the differences between Home and Professional.

Either upgrade to XP Professional or see if Apache Server will do what you
want instead.
