[RESOLVED] installing IIS

I know the normal way;

You can install IIS using the following steps:

1. Click Start and select Control Panel.
2. Double click the Add or Remove Programs applet.
3. Select Add/Remove Windows Components.
4. Place a check beside Internet Information Services (IIS).
5. Click Next.
6. If prompted, insert your Windows XP CD.

HOWEVER, on this particular stripped build of Windows XP I'm working with, Internet Information Services (IIS) dosen't even show under 'Add or Remove Programs applet'. Is there a way I can manually install it from the WinXP Pro CD?

What do you mean "stripped build"?

Are you sure it's XP Pro (or Tablet PC, or MCE)? I'm fairly sure IIS isn't included in XP Home.

WinXP Pro. No IIS!

See if these help out.

Use Notepad to open C:\Windows\Inf\sysoc.inf and make sure this line is in there:

Code:

---

iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,,7

---

Make sure iis.inf exists there and is several hundred KB in size too.

If it's not that, have you tried running "sfc /scannow"?
