Paulo;
You don't, IIS is not supported on Windows XP Home.
If you need IIS, you will need Windows XP Pro.

Also IIS is available with Windows Vista although I am unsure if it is
available with all versions.
I suspect IIS is included in Business and Ultimate.

I'd say, if you need anything more sophisticated than the web server built
into Web Developer Express or the full-blown VS2005 or VS2008, then you
really need to switch to XP Pro.

I don't think it's outright impossible to install IIS on Home, but it's
certainly not a supported scenario and you're really opening yourself up to
all sorts of quirks. In the long run, IMHO, I don't think it's worth the
aggravation.

OTOH people are free to disagree. This is strictly my opinion.

You're running out of luck since you need WinXP Pro.

The retail upgrade XP Pro package is not that expensive, and if you're a
developer, will be a tax-deductible expense.

All versions of Vista have some form of IIS -- which is more modular than
previous versions -- but available IIS features vary depending on the
version of Vista.
