Setting up IIS under XP Professional

[Guest]

I'm having a difficult time getting IIS to function under XP Professional.
My objective is to have Front Page publish to IIS running locally on my
computer so I can test my website and asp pages. I think I resolved the
logging in problem. I'm trying now just to get the default page to come up.
When I goto http://localhost I get the folowing error:

HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error
Internet Information Services

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046)
Permission denied: 'GetObject'
/localstart.asp, line 40

Browser Type:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Page:
GET /localstart.asp

Looking into localstart.asp you find:
37: ' Using ADSI, get the list of default documents for this Web site.
38:
39: sPath = "IIS://" & sServername & "/W3SVC/" & sServerinst
40: Set oDefSite = GetObject(sPath)

I'm logged in as Administrator so hopefully there shouldn't be any
permission issues.

Any ideas?

Is there a document that describes how to install IIS under XP Professional
step by step? I've been playing around with this for about two weeks inching
along and chipping away at each new error message
