How to install IIS 6.0 on Windows XP Professional

Hi:

I'd like to install IIS 6.0 on Windows XP. First I'd like to download IIS 6.0 from Microsoft website. But I couldn't find it. If you know how to get IIS 6.0 and to install it on XP Professional with SP2. If I've MS Visual Studio .NET 2003, can I get the IIS from this suite?

Thank you very much,

IIS 6.0 does not seem to be designed for use on XP. You need Windows Server 2003. See this page:

Fatal_Exception

Lee is right.. If you want to run IIS, you need 2003 server to do it.. here are some FAQs on IIS:

Hi:

So, I cannot install IIS 6.0 on XP. Thanks a lot for helping me to figure out this. From leew, it seems that I can install IIS 5.1 on it. IF I want to install IIS 5.1 on XP, what I should do? Where I can get it and how I can install it.

Thank you very much,

It must be installed via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. See this page:

FYI

if by chance you have XP 64b version, it DOES have IIS ver 6.0 in it.
