IIS log files are NOT stored in Inetpub. Normally they are in C:\WINNT\system32\logfiles folders under that. So we
have an issue that Windows 2000 wants the CD-ROM when trying to install the IISAdmin services such as WWW;
SMTP; and so on. That's how it should be.
Your othe explanation of how things went installing IIS services in Windows 2000 really cannot happen that way. SP4
has nothing to do with this issue. I know the working one it may have seemed you had to do nothing but install SP4 but
believe me more was done that you are unaware of.
Tell me what you have here in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC
You can just export it and open the reg file with Notepad select all copy paste here.
