As Scott mentioned, IIS comes with some versions of windows. However, its
not absolutely necessary to install IIS before installing VB .NET although
its definitely a good idea. So, if you happen to install VB .NET before IIS
by any chance, you can do this to make sure your aspx files run on your
machine:

run the following command from within the .net framework directory (usually
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.x.xxx\ - the x's denote your
framework version. The latest will have the higher number. eg. .NET
framework version 1.1 will have something like v1.1.4322)

aspnet_regiis.exe -i

the above command basically register's this version of ASP.NET with IIS and
your aspx files should run fine.

hope this helps..
Imran.
