Here's the deal. I have a second computer which has windows xp pro service pack 2 (issued by my school) i need to install IIS on it, but the only XP Pro cd i have is service pack 1, and when I try to install IIS via that cd (on windows XP pro you need to run IIS install form the cd or the controll panel but with the cd in the drive)

in short installing IIS from my sp1 cd doesn't work, is there anything I can do, like download the files from microsoft.????

thanks for ure help in advance

You need the I386 folder from the Windows Xp SP2 CD. Ask your school nicely, and they might copy it over to your hard drive. You can then point the installer to the new location.

Download SP2 and slipstream it into SP1 to make a new SP2 CD.

Just see the tutorial.

throw iis away and use apache

lol, IR is right. Apache is easy to set up even on windows. You can also download an ASP.net plugin if you're setting up an ASP.net website. A word of advice though, if you'll be using a server side script, use php. It is easy and powerful.

thanks guys, i plan on learning php but i also want to learn asp, as for apache, sound like a good idea, i will try it out. ps: i got iis to work, thanks for the advice.

I heard php is kinda like java and perl mashed togeather is this true?

it has C-style syntax like java. However you don't have to put everything in classes. As for the perl part, i don't know since i've never programmed in Perl.

Just curious, how did you get iis to work?

The only thing PHP has in regards to Perl is probably just the regular expression concept... I don't see, or at least don't use, anything else that could be similar.

Well, a lot of PHP syntax is taken from Perl. For example:

(Toggle Plain Text)

do_thing() or die("Blah-de-blah");
