IIS in XP HE SP2?

You should be able to go into add / remove programs under control panel and install it from there. Although I can't remember if XP Home edition ships with IIS or not.

I'm not sure about home edition but I know it's on the PRO disk. Choose add/remove and then additional components and it's under internet or something. It'll say IIS 6.0. If it's not on your home disk, borrow someone's pro disk and install it.

--------------EDIT--------------
Wow plausy, i just submitted mine and yours was there!
 
Well from what I read on MS's site HEdition doesnt ship with IIS and MS also states it cant be done on HE. But iv'e seen a workaround for SP1 on HEdition, but it does not work for SP2. Was just wanting to know if anyone here knew of a workaround for SP2.
Thanks for your responses!!

It is apparent to me that im not being clear enough.
I would only like to know if there is a known workaround; as simply condoning
an illegal act to get "IIS" fully functional on this laptop is not acceptable; and upgrading is not a solution for this laptop either!

Thank you for your time and effort!

Sorry for bringing back this old thread but I thought it was necessary; If you use the Express Products MS has available here VB.NET or C#; With VWexpress as well as the SQLexpress you will not need the IIS, you can also take a look at Web Matrix which comes with its own light-weight web server!

There is a workaround. Don't know of it's legalities but I have it working on my laptop. You need a Windows 2000 CD to do it though. It should be legal in the sense of I have legal copies of WinXp Home and Win2000 Pro but who knows, it may not be. Apolgogies to the mods if this is the case!

Personally I think it's quite incredible and annoying to say the least that you can shell out £500 for VS.Net and not be able to run half of it (ASP.Net) without XP Pro!
