Is IIS available with Win Xp Home Edition ?

[Vikas Kalra]

Hi!

I recently purchased a Compaq Persario, for my home usage.
It came pre-loaded with Win Xp Home edition.

After installing VS.NET, I found I can't work on ASP.NET
App development as IIS is missing.

I believe, IIS does not come with Win Xp Home edition, but
with Win Xp Professional is it ?

Can anyone suggest how do I go about it ?

Now do I have to purchase Win Xp Prof or is it possible
that I upgrade from Win Xp Home to Win Xp Prof ? How much
will it cost ?

I remember on Win 98 it was possible to develop ASP apps
without IIS, is the same possible in Win Xp Home edition ?

Thanks for any help you provide.
Regards,
Vikas

Hi,

This is correct, IIS is not included with XP Home edition. You can upgrade

Check with your software vendor for a price.
