4.3. Installing IIS
Internet Information Services (IIS) is a server published by Microsoft. IIS is included as part of the operating system for Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, and Windows Server. The version of IIS included with Windows 2000/XP isn't as powerful as the version on Windows Server. It allows only a limited number of people to connect to your Web site at one time. Consequently, it isn't useful as a production server for a large, public site, though it can be useful as a development server or for internal organizational use.
IIS is included with the operating system, but isn't installed automatically. You need to install it from the CDs, using the following steps:
Click Start.
Click Control Panel.
The Control Panel window opens.
Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
The Add or Remove Programs window opens.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components on the left side.
The Windows Components Wizard window opens.
Click Internet Information Services (IIS).
Click Next.
Complete the information requested by the installation wizard.
IIS is installed from a CD.
For Windows Vista, Steps 3–6 are slightly different:
Click Start.
Click Control Panel.
The Control Panel window opens.
Click Programs and Features.
Click Turn Windows features on or off in the right pane.
The Windows Features dialog box opens.
Select the Internet Information Services check box.
Click OK.
Complete the information requested by the installation wizard.
