No, you can only install IIS on XP Pro. You can upgrade Home to Pro,
usually very easily. Purchase an XP Pro upgrade and put the cd in while
booted into your Home edition. Follow the instructions. Always have all
your data backed up before doing this because even though the upgrade
is usually painless, Stuff Happens.

If you don't want to spend the money on Pro, use Apache instead of IIS.
