Hi,
If you have XP Pro then you can install IIS in Add/Remove Programs ->
Add/Remove Windows Components -> IIS
If you have XP Home you will need to upgrade to XP Pro to have IIS

Professional,porting Unix text based programs into web applications. In a
few weeks I will be vacationing. SO I have copied the visual studio/cnet
environment onto my laptop. Thing is I cannot get to first base because I
dont have a web server on th XP laptop. My understganding is that IIS is
the web server. Is this not part of my XP OS or do I have to upgrade to
professionel or buy the IIS separately. Apoligize If I sound confused .Jon
