Problems Installing IIS on XP Tablet Edition

[CJM]

A colleague has just rebuilt and configured a Tablet PC - he installed XP
Tablet edition with SP1, then installed SP2.

I'm trying to install IIS. It is asking for XP Professional Service Pack 2
CD - but I think rather than the SP2 CD it wants an XP Pro CD which includes
SP2 - of which we dont have any yet...

I've tried feeding it XPSP1 Retail & VLP versions, XP SP2 CD, and even a
Win2k3 CD but I cant get any futher than the same point - after it starts to
copy a few files, it stops and asks for the location of adsutil.vbs - I cant
see this file (or any of the subsequent ones it asks for) on any of the CDs.

Any idea how I can get round this?

Options:

[Option 1]
Download the network version of SP2, and then instead of installing it, use
the -x switch to extract all the files to a folder. Now run IIS setup again.
It will ask for various file - some of which you'll need to get from the SP2
folder, and some from the original media. This method is a bit painful
(since it requires manually telling the installer where your files are), but
it's cheap-n-cheerful

[Option 2]
Slipstream SP2 into your original installation media. Copy the /i386 folder
from your original Windows XP CD to the computer's hard disk. Run XP SP2
setup with the /integrate switch to slipstream the updated files into the
/i386 folder on the user's hard disk.

Now run IIS setup again, and point the installer to this /i386 folder.

As an added bonus, you can now use this /i386 folder as the basis for
burning your own bootable Windows XP setup CD with SP2 already built in.
Follow the instructions here: http://old.bink.nu/xpbootcd/

Thanks guys.

I've proceeded by expanding the XPSP2.exe package with that all-important
'-x' switch, and I swapped between the temporary folder and an 'XP with SP1'
CD and it worked a treat.

A colleague has create a slip-streamed 'XP with SP2' CD but it was around to
be tested, but I'll try that approach next time. On the other hand, I'm
expecting an official 'XP with SP2' CD through MSDn before too long (I hope)

Thanks
