Installing IIS on XP Home
Although it’s a hack, I just figured out how to install IIS on XP Home. With the help of these two urls.
http://www.iis-resources.com/modules/AMS/article.php?storyid=48
and
http://www.webthang.co.uk/tuts/tuts_server/iis_xph/pippo_xp.asp
I did hit two problems, one was that it came up with an error "The Specified Module Could not be found" – This is fioxed by opening the IIS snap in, properties > Directory Security > Anonymous access > edit > then uncheck "Allow IIS to control password".
Then, to install .NET, I used aspnet_regiis.exe -i

As an experiment, I tried to get .NET beta 2 to install aswell,but I got this error in the event log
Exception: System.NullReferenceException
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
