My boss has handed me another laptop onto which I'm supposed to install our
website so the sales folks can give demos without an internet connection.
And once again, I'm would be grateful for some help. The problem is,
there's no inetpub directory and Internet Information Service does not
appear under Services and Applications in the management console.

I've run aspnet_regiis.exe -i without any errors. Here are the steps taken
so far:

The laptop came with XP Home and my boss upgraded it to XP Pro SP2.
Framework 1.1 is on the machine. I don't know how/when my boss installed it.

I log in as Administrator and run aspnet_regiis.exe -i from the v1.1.4322
subdirectory.
Installation completes and aspnet_regiis.exe -lv shows "valid".
Reboot.
Log in again as Administrator:

No \inetpub directory, and Internet Information Service does not appear
under Services and Applications in the management console.

How/where do I create the webserver and default website?
Thanks
Timo
 
Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > Internet Information Services (IIS) (place a tick in it and click Next etc)

You'll need the Windows XP Pro CD though.

Click to expand...

My assumption is that you haven't installed IIS. Which means no
matter what directory you create or how you run aspnet_regiis you'll
still have the same result.

Install IIS first. Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components.
