Is there any way to install IIS 6 on XP pro? Also is there a developer version of SQL server I can install?

I don't think it is possible, like IIS 5.1 that comes with XP can't be installed over IIS5 on Win2k. Also as from what I've been reading IIS6 can talk directly to the OS's kernal so I doubt that there would be any way to force it to run on XP. I could be proven wrong though.

There is a developer version of SQL server that runs on XP. You could also download and run the destop version of SQL server on XP, which I beleive is a free download from MS.

Yeah I forgot about the kernel. However it would be good for testing!
