IIS is not delivered as part of XP Home. It is delivered as part of XP
Pro. I understand that even if you try to install it from an XP Pro
disk onto XP Home it will not work (although I understand web sites can
be found ... start by searching this newsgroup... which explain how to
do it).

If you must have a web server on XP home, find the hacks which make it
work or simply use Apache which is free and in ubiquitious use in the world.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
