(1) locate and edit the file C:\WINDOWS\INF\SYSOC.INF
(2) locate a section called [Components]
(3) find a line like this:
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7
(4) change it to this (the iis cab in the i386 xp home folder looks to
be nothing)
iis=iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7
(some sort of ms caching thing keeps sticking back iis.dll when I try
to nuke it. quickly renaming and making hidden dir called iis.dll
seems to thwart, but not worth it, so iis2.dll is good enough)
(5) I grabbed the iis.dl_ and iis.in_ from win2k advanced server cd.
I would guess similar techniques would work from W98, FP, etc.
Use "EXPAND IIS.DL_ IIS2.DLL" from a command prompt
Same for IIS2.INF, place IIS2.INF in C:\WINDOWS\INF and IIS2.DLL in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SETUP
(6) Now when I did "add windows programs" from the control panel's add
new programs,
I had IIS options and I could even check em off. yippee - could not
check em off from my xppro cd :(((
I just went with the defaulted ones though (all i needed was iis web
server)
(7) It will prompt you for files. Get em from MS XP Home CDs, Adv
Server CDs, C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\INETSRV, C:\WINDOWS\I386, etc. (It will
tell you the file it needs, you just need to have a searcher going,
probably the CDs will have all you need)
(8) You can get to your IIS from Control Panel's Administrative
Programs.
I stuck in an index.html file and reconfigure IIS to work like this.
No go :(((
I right clicked on my inetpub folder and did something with shared
folders. No go :(((
I looked at the event viewer and saw the error of my ways.
Go to IIS and goto Directory Security tab and click Edit button and
Browse for the user setup on my laptop.
(9) Yippee, hello world from http://localhost
I won't support this solution unless paid to. I am an out of work
developer looking for work.
I bought a Toshiba 5005 laptop which came with XP home.
I then bought Win XP Professional.
I have bunches of CDs from when I was a MSDN subscriber.
From a general search on the internet I found contradictions.
Microsoft says you need professional XP to do IIS period.
q310090 was yanked from their site which had the "workaround" for
this.
When I tried to setup XP upgrade to pro, my laptop rebooted and hung
on an xp logo with an animated graphic.
I have verified this to be the case with others as well. Upgrading to
xp pro isn't an option for this laptop.

Uhhh...my XPHome is on a Dell laptop...all I got with it is the Dell CD
with XPHome on it...and no, none of the files are there.
So I ran a Search...and found convlog.exe okay...but couldn't find
infoctrs.dll or admexs.dll...and stopped there.
Anyone know how I can get those ones AND whatever comes next in the
series? Cause I'm at a loss here...

Anyone here?
I've configured it EXACTLY like the w2k box that I normally run my asp

So...what am I missing under XP Home?
nevermind...my IIS is now serving up ASP just fine...all I had to do was

Wow I wish I had known about the win xp iis workaround, I coughed up an

Except for one bizarre effect - some of my folders are named after the
domains ('mydomain.com', 'myotherdomain.org', etc.) - anything other
than the .com work just fine - i can browse directories and view html
files, etc; but with the .com folders, I can browse directories but
once I click on an html file, I get a 'HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute
Access Forbidden', even though I have clearly specified execute access
for all of these folders. Renaming (to '_com' for example) does take
care of the problem, but does anyone have any ideas why happens?

I also get a similar message. You suggest here to "right click on the
'default web site' in left frame" however I do not have a 'default
website" in my left frame. I am getting the same message that there
are "administerable services". I am very new to XP (2 days) and need
to do some development quick. To make sure I am getting to the right
place, I went as follows: Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools
> Internet Service Manager > Internet Services Manager. In the left
frame, all that is there is Internet Information Services. There is
nothing about default web page.
Can anyone provide any help? It would be most appreciated.

i am having a similar problem. all i see in the left frame is internet
information services. and when i right click on and say connect it says
no administrable devices. i checked off the smtp and ftp . before that i
used to get the error could not connect to <computer name> and now it is
gone but i have this new problem. could anyone solve it ?
could somebody please tell me where to get these iis.in_ and iss.dl_
files. i searched in the whole web but couldn't find it.
thanks a lot!
anyone found a solution to this ? i got nothing to do except wait for
someone to answer. i tried reinstalling iis but in vain. i realize the
problem is due to the missing metabase.bin in inetsrv folder. i tried
getting that file from another computer which has iis installed but
still wouldnt work. i couldnt find metabase.bak or metabase.bin.bak. i
tried checking off smtp during install still wouldnt work. someone
please please please
I got IIS installed and everything (got the dl_ and in_ files from
win2k professional) and followed all the steps.
Was able to check off all the necessary things in Add Windows
Components and get everything installed.
Rebooted.
However when I go to Administrative Tools in Control Panel, i don't
have IIS.
In Add/Remove windows components, its there - but not in
Administrative Tools.
any ideas??

Try uninstalling and reinstalling IIS and this time just install the
web server in the iis details in the add/remove windows components. I
did it and I can now see the internet services manager in
administrative tools.

Should work just fine from there on out! I need to download the latest
version of PHP and PERL so I can see if they work. There's no reason
why they shouldn't, that I can think of. Just make sure, that if
you're running IIS 5.0 on a home machine, that you have a firewall
setup, so that people can't create sessions to your computer, and
access your shares. They can use the username IUSR_<computer name> to
log on to your computer.

The first time I tried to use iis I was running winXP home upgraded
from win98se. And in step 7 (when the installation process prompt you
for files), I got every file from a win2000 adv server disc. This time
I couldn't get iis working.
The second time I installed iis, I was running winXP home (clean
installed). And in step 7, I got every file from the winXP home disc
(except those files that weren't in XP (I took them from win2000
advServ)).
Maybe the problem is with the source files that iis need to install
from. Please, check this and tell me is you succed.

Daniel

Yes, buy Professional if you want to develop. I think there is still an
upgrade price available through certain channels.
Yeah. Bummer. You know, there's a reason this isn't supported...

The following steps were required:
1) Unchecked "Show friendly HTTP errors" in IE. Bizarrely this provides
MORE info to the Event Viewer so you can troubleshoot better. Event
Viewer then revealed a DCOM local activation error and supplied a
Component ID
2) Went to the DCOM service in Administrative tools and located the
Component ID. It turns out to belong to IIS Admin Services
3) Customized the security properties of the IIS Admin component to
give Launch and Activation permission To the user IWAM_<computername>.
This is the account that IIS uses to identify itself to Windows.
4) Set Directory Security on default web site in IIS to use Integrated
Security. IIS will not permit Anonymous Authentication for ASP pages.
I would be interested to hear if this helps anybody.
For the record, I got iis_dl_ and iis_in_ from a Win2000 Professional
CD
Best Regards,
Baraholka
Well, not so bizarre. "Friendly" in this case means the opposite of
detailed, in other words, so stupid people can ignore it...
