The short answer is you shan't, because IIS is not supported on XP Home and
will not install from the XP Pro CD.

The longer answer is, there are hacks, but they are not supported and you're
on your own; there are other web servers that *will* install on XP Home.

Another longer answer is that you can often purchase a used XP Pro box, with
a valid license, for around CDN$150.
