How to install IIS in Windows XP Home

I accidentally found an article on IIS installation under home XP. I think it may be used in the future. I will repost it here.

Download IIS Installation File

First, enter "C:/Windows/INF/sysoc. inf" in "run" in the "Start" menu. The system will automatically open the sysoc. inf file using notepad. In sysoc. INF finds the "[components]" section, because it is a simplified version of XP, so there are very few items in it, add this section in it: "IIS = iis2.dll, ocentry, iis2.inf, 7 ". Save and close.

Because it is a simplified version of XP, there must be no IIS installation file in the downloaded Installation File. You can click here to download the IIS Installation File. After downloading, decompress the package to the root directory of any drive letter (preferably the root directory to facilitate subsequent commands ). For example, I decompress the compressed package to the root directory of drive D.

Next, enter "cmd" in the running process and press enter to start the command line mode. Enter the following two commands in the command line and press enter after each command line ends (assuming that the Drive drive is a D Drive):

Expand D:/iis51/IIS. DL _ c:/Windows/system32/Setup/iis2.dll

Expand D:/iis51/IIS. In _ c:/Windows/INF/iis2.inf

Note that if you decompress the file to drive F, you can change d to drive F. At this time, you open the control panel-> Add/delete Windows Components, you will find that the Internet Information Service (IIS) installation options have appeared in the installation list.

The subsequent steps are the same as installing IIS, except that files cannot be found during installation (this is normal, because your IIS installation directory is not in the XP default directory ). At this time, you can click "Browse" and select the directory you just decompressed. This allows you to choose the installation file three times in total, and each directory will follow the steps described above.

No surprise. After a while, IIS will be installed. Click "finish ". However, this step is not complete yet. You need to make some settings for IIS: Open "Internet Service Manager" from the management tool"

Right-click "Default web site", go to the "Directory Security" tab, click "edit" in "Anonymous Access and verification control", and a new anonymous method window is displayed, then, click the "edit" button in "anonymous access" to remove the "allow IIS to control the password" comprehensive check, and then return all the way to OK. Now all the steps for installing iis5.1 in XP simplified version are completed.
