Any way to install IIS on XP Home?

[Guest]

Hello!

Is there any way to install IIS on XP Home?

Hi,

No, you can use a third party product, but not IIS. Here is one:

I don't want to loose my documents. Is there any way to install IIS if you
have the Windows XP Pro or 2003 Server Installation Disc?

Hi,

Same answer: No. It (IIS) simply is not supported in a WinXP Home
environment. If you have those disks, then why not just install it under a
system running one of those OS's?

Just upgrade to pro, you have the disk.

If you don't want your documents "loose" then just tighten them down.

that must be the "official answer". If you have a disc with IIS on it (Win
2K Pro for example) .. then go to http://www.15seconds.com and search for
instructions on installing IIS on XPHome. It's not very hard.

It's also not supported. If you have any problems, you are on your
own.
