IIS has gone missing from my pc!!!

[alejandroAT]

hi all,

this is a serious problem as i need iis to run asp web projects on my pc. This has really brought my work to a standstill.

I used to work fine with SP1 and iis installed in the old days. Then i built a new pc and installed sp2 on it. I then proceded to install IIS from an .exe setup file (iis6 same as before). The installation prompted me that everything was fine. But IIS doesnt exist on the Services panel and neither does the configuration shortcut on Administrative tools.

Have i done something wrong when i stoped some services from running at startup? anyone knows if IIS is depended upon the startup of another service?

NOTE: when i uninstall IIS, the entry on Add/Remove programs stil stays there even after reboot and do a registry cleanup. I can basically uninstall it infinite times!!! and i can install it infinite times too....its just that i cant make it work

thnx

install from a .exe huh?
goto add/remove programs -> choose add/remove windows components on side bar
install IIS from there.
never heard of a .exe for IIS.

its a standalone setup...cant rememember where i got it from but it workd fine for years....

as for the windows components....there isnt an option to remove...just to check and uncheck...the iis box is unchecked so i guess it doesnt see it as installed even though an entry exists in the normal add/remove programs list.

 

[Homerboy]

right
so check it and install it.

IIS 6 comes integrated with server 2003. As far as I know, there is no such thing as a standalone install of IIS6.
You should never see IIS in the Add/Remove Programs, only in the windows components section.

WinXP PRO comes with IIS 5.1 but, like Homerboy said, you need to install it as a windows component.

OP, are you trying to refer to Apache2Triad?

if he is... man-o-man

the exe file i have is called iis60rkt.exe and it used to work fine with SP1.

If SP2 had IIS already installed and i didnt notice, then, did i mess things up by running the iis6 install?
As i said,,,the iis toolkit is visible in the add/remoce progrmas list but i cant get rid of it even when i uninstall.

I have to repeat that i cant work without iis6 and i would really like to avoid reinstalling the OS.

(is Apache2Triad a bad thing?)

yuo're not reading/comprehending

IIS has been included with EVERY OS since NT (IIRC)... at the very least 2k, XP Pro (no matter what SP... it's part of the OS itself). However it does not install by default.
So AGAIN, I will tell you how to install IIS in a XP Pro environment:

goto add/remove programs -> choose add/remove windows components on side bar
scroll down to IIS; put check box into IIS; click "next"
IIS is now installed

forget your .exe

I've never needed the CD to install IIS.

After you select it it asks you for the CD to get the files it needs. At least it always has for me.

Alejandro, that file you're trying to install is nothing but a resource kit for IIS 6 that is used to assist in the administration of IIS. You will more than likely need your XP cd to install IIS 5.1 (which is the version that comes with XP)
