RE: Installing IIS on XP Pro - Cannot find files

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I am having a similar problem installing fax services on a new Dell laptop.
When adding that component it can't find the files on the HD or on the Dell
supplied CD.

Could this have to do with the fact Dell dumps the OS bulk and the
installation is a little wierd?

I've seen this mentioned alot but havent found a solution....

Can you help?
