Need to install IIS on Windows XP Media Centre Edition.

[dboundy]

My copy of the XP Media Centre is damaged I think as I can't find the files on the CD to install IIS.

Meanwhile, I am working with MS Visual Studio and need to install IIS in order to run a web server. To do this you must add through Control Panel and the XP Media Centre CD (or the files to be precise) is then required.

I have googled and have not found a soloution to my problem

Is there a way to get around this?

Removed - cant do that.

MCE comes with IIS I'm sure (I will confirm when I get home though). It should be under 'Add Remove Programs > Windows Compnents > Application Server' - is it not there?

It does come with it yes (on the CDm does not install automatically)

Its under:

Add Remove Programs > Windows Compnents > IIS

But when I go to install it, it can not find the files and when I try to manually search for them it can not find them either, hence why I need to find out if they are downloadable from anywhere.

Currently working on making my own E-Commerce website you see but need IIS to test it on my computer as I have little money to actually get a host at the moment as the site will not be ready for a couple of months at which point I will get the hosting.

IIS is just a stop gap so that I can test it out you see.

[Removed] - Email me about it, I'll explain, and may be able to help.

If you have no luck then Visual Web Developer (part of Visual Studio 2005) comes with it's own built in web-server that does the job great. It's also more secure than IIS and only runs when you run VS.
