Re: Internet Information Services in MCE

I can't see this as a Media Center problem, according to the hardware/software requirements. Can you click Start, Run and enter http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost and open IE to the default page for IIS? Additionally, you should have an IIS entry in Programs, Administrative Tools, Internet Information Services. You can also open it by Start, Run and entering

%SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc

Doug,

However, I am able to run SQL Server Dev Edition on my work laptop, which is
running XP Professional. So I had hopes it would run as well in XP MCE.

Some advanced features of things like SQL Server may be disabled, by
default, if you're not actually running on a "server" platform. While XP
will act as a web server its not a "server environment".

I have a new Compaq Presario which came with Windows XP Media edition and
IIS 5.1. I've installed the IIS component but I'm not sure I have a good
install. Internet Information Services does appear as a directory under
Services and Applications in Computer Management, but it has no sub
directories under it. The IIS Admin service is running.

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005, including the Reporting Services
module which relies upon IIS being up and running on the PC. The SQL
install program is dimming out the Reporting Services choice during the
install, which makes me think it can't find IIS.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling IIS several times but get the
same
results. Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.

Bill
