Ever wanted tp install IIS on XP Home?
Note: I will NOT be held responsible for the outcome of this tutorial!

1: locate and edit the file C:\WINDOWS\INF\SYSOC.INF

2: locate a section called [Components]

3: find a line like this: iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7

4: change it to this iis=iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7

5: you can grab the iis.dl_ and iis.in_ from win2k/XP Pro cd.
I would guess similar techniques would work from W98, FP, etc. Use "EXPAND IIS.DL_ IIS2.DLL" from a command prompt Same for IIS2.INF, place IIS2.INF in C:\WINDOWS\INF and IIS2.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SETUP

6: Now "add windows programs" from the control panel's add new programs,

7: It will prompt you for files. Get em from MS XP Home CDs, Adv Server CDs, C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\INETSRV, C:\WINDOWS\I386, etc. (It will tell you the file it needs, you just need to have a searcher going, probably the CDs will have all you need)

8: Go to IIS and goto Directory Security tab and click Edit button and Browse for the user setup.

Yeah---here is Richard's workaround article. He's also done several others pretty much out before anyone else.
