Running IIS and PWS on XP Home
Many users have asked what happened
to Internet Information Services (IIS) or Personal Web Server (PWS)
in XP Home Edition. The official response from Microsoft is below.
"Windows XP Home Edition does not
include or support any versions (1.0, 2.0, 4.0) of Microsoft
Personal Web Server (PWS). Users that need Web server
functionality in a desktop operating system should use Windows
XP Professional."
At one time there was a workaround
in the Knowledge Base (Q310090) that has since disappeared. I don't
have a copy of it, but if you do I'd appreciate you e-mailing me a
copy. In the meantime, check out the link at
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020118.htm
and see if it might be
of any use. I haven't tested it and can't vouch for whether it's
functional, but it's a place to start.
