Windows XP Pro Question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and I need to do Web Development. I want
to know if anyone has XP Pro running IIS and how is it working?

I have SQL 2000 Developer and Frontpage 2003 with asp pages I developed.

I tried to install IIS on the home edition it installed but I cannot connect
to http://localhost

I also tried apache and it does not support asp. And frankly I would rather
use IIS since I know how to use it and I would rather not learn how to get
apache to work.

Thanks

Tom

I have run IIS on XP Pro with no issues, I remember I had to follow
through some detailed instructions from the .NET documentation to get
it working.

If you post your question in one of the microsoft.public.dotnet groups
you may get a more detailed response

IIS doesn't run on Home, only Pro.

You need XP Pro to run IIS
