Xp home version installs iis

Common Windows XP comes in two versions, Professional and Home. These two versions are largely the same, but in terms of details, the Professional version has more features than the Home version. For example, the Professional version of XP supports dual CPU, multi-language, domain, EFS file encryption, and IIS (Internet Information Services). However, friends who have used Windows XP Home Edition (Home Edition) will regret that this system platform does not have the IIS component installation option, nor does it support PWS (Personal Web Server), so it is impossible to establish a Web server to learn to debug ASP dynamic web pages. Fortunately, foreign experts have figured out a solution for IIS to settle in WinXP Home Edition.

The solution is to restore the IIS installation in the Windows component by editing the Windows component configuration file, and then add IIS in the normal way. The detailed steps include:

1, in X:\\Windows Open the installation information file sysoc.inf under the \\inf directory (X is the Windows XP drive letter),

find iis=iis.dll, OcEntry, IIS.inf, hide, 7 in the [Components] area. One line.

It can be found that WinXP Home Edition hides the IIS component installation option, so change this information to

iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,IIS2.inf,,7,Save drop out.

2, find the iis.dl_ and iis.if_ files in the Windows 2000 installation CD (Professional, Server, Advanced Server versions), and copy them to a directory on the hard disk (such as C: \\). Open the "Command Prompt" in the Start menu, use the Expand command to unlock iis.dl_ and IIS.if_, the command format is:

expand C:\\iis.dl_ C:\\IIS2.dll

expand C:\\iis.in_ C:\\IIS2.inf

When finished, two new files iis2.dll and IIS2.inf will be generated in the C directory.

3. Finally, copy the two files iis2.dll and IIS2.inf into the X:\\Windows\\inf and X:\\Windows\\system32\\Setup system directories respectively.

At this point, click "Add/Remove Windows Components" in "Add/Remove Programs", you will be excited to find that the long-lost Internet Information Service (IIS) has reappeared! The next step is to install IIS. However, you need to be reminded that if you jump out of the location-related files during the installation process, please point the directory to the I386 directory under the Windows 2000 installation CD.

Okay, please note that in Windows XP Home Edition, Professional Edition installed IIS, the number of concurrent connections is limited to only 10, so it is recommended to use IIS to build a Web server to learn ASP friends, It is best to use the Windows 2000 Advanced Server system platform.

After installing IIS under Windows XP, only one site is supported, and there is no site management. Only 10 concurrent connections can be established. In short, xp's home and Professional versions, after all, are workstation operating systems rather than server platforms. If you like toys, then you can use xp.
