I have windows xp profesional. I am trying to install a shopping cart which requires IIS/PWS. I want to be able to work on the site on my system before uploading it to my host. I know that xp pro has a component that you can check to load it on your system. My problem is that I do not have the CD to load it. The friend that I bought my system from didn't give it to me and I have no clue where he is now to get it. Regardless, I want a quick solution to this problem. I don't want to buy another CD for I will probably be purchasing a system in the next six months with it pre installed anyway. It would be a waste of money for me.

Questions are: Is there a place in which I can download this to my system? Can I just download NT which has the 98 Ver of PWS onto my system or is there a conflict in doing so?

Thanks in advance for your help with this

Find your friend and ask him for the CD. No there is no quick solution...
IIS5.1 which is the one for XP is NOT downloadable and PWS will NOT install
on XP.

Previous versions of IIS which are v4 will only install on NT, and v5 which
only comes with Windows 2000 and again will not install on XP. Windows 2003
Server comes with IIS6.0. Again this is soley for 2003 and will not install
on any other version.

Or purchase a new copy of XP Pro.

Without the relevant paperwork/CD, your copy of XP is unlicensed.
