I'm totally at a loss at this problem and i need you experts here to help

I'm trying to install IIS on my XP SP2 installation, this is needed to i can install exchange tools on my laptop

Everytime it asks me to insert the CD for XP SP2, so i do but it keeps asking back for the file. It's right there!

So i extracted the files to the HD and tried it again, pointed it to that, no joy there either. Still asking for the same damn file even through it's right there and the right version.

Please help :mad:

EDIT - I am the local admin on my laptop, i double checked that

Is it the same CD that you installed from, i.e. did you install from a XP pro corporate disk and your now putting in a XP pro retail disk??

Humm, had a quick google, it seems there is a problem with XP SP2 and IIS install. If its asking for staxmem.dll then have a look at these links
