I have just started the Microsoft Press MCAD book for exam 070-315 and need
to find the Internet Information Services on my computer. I know I used it
to configure a MS download a few months ago but can't find it anywhere on my
computer. It should be in START, ALL PROGRAMS, ADMINISTARATIVE TOOLS, but
that doesn't appear on my start list. I've been to Admin Tools in Control
panel but it isn't there either. Could someone please let me know where to
find it so that I can continue my studies.

Chances are it got wiped when my system crashed so I'll have to re-install
it, so if anyone can point me in that direction as well I'd be most grateful.
 
Don't know what version of what OS you have, but usually you install IIS by
going to
control panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Windows Components
and installing the internet services from there.

Are you familiar with the IIS FAQ [1] ?

Nick,

I have tried loading it from the XP Home Edition disc as an optional
component, but it isn't listed in there either. I looked in the Add/Remove
COM components list but can't find it. Could someone please tell me how to
open IIS through either the command prompt or Run...

There's your problem. XP Home Edition does NOT have IIS. IIS
can be found on Windows 2000 Professional, XP Professional,
and any of the server editions.

Basically you will need IIS if you want to develop ASP.NET
through VS.NET.

Without IIS your reduced to developing under Web Matrix (no
code-behind).

Web Matrix
http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/download.aspx?tabindex=4

You may be able to "fake" code-behind if you develop the
page and class separately in a text editor and compile
everything with the SDK command-line tools, provided you
manually set the appropriate dependencies between the page
and the page class file. (I haven't tried it).

You can then run (no debugging) your creation with Cassini
(only locally on your computer, its not accessible from the
network).

Not sure if Cassini can support local Web Services.
