adding IIS after a machine is fully patched

[Ballard Bug]

I have a fully patched winXP Pro sp1 system. I need to add IIS.
Since it is asking me for my original install media (XP Pro SP1, not
1a), I'm concerned the install might overwrite patched files. Also,
I'm concerned that simply going to windowsupdate after the install
will not correctly detect what patches I need to reapply.

What is the recommended strategy for adding IIS to a fully patched
machine?

Thanks for the help!

SP1 and SP1a are identical in every respect except for the fact
that the Microsoft Virtual Machine is not included with SP1a.
You can proceed to install IIS without any problems using your
current Windows XP CD. The following may apply:

When you add Windows component to Windows XP with SP1 installed,
setup prompts you for the SP1 CD-ROM or the I386 folder?

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't really answer my questions. Will
adding a Windows component from an install CD overright rollups and
patches? Is there a way to verify that all files are patched? Going
to windowsupdate seems to only look at the registery, does the MBSA or
some other utility actually look at file versions?

Thanks,
