IIS gone missing!! unist/reinst makes no difference!

hi all,

this is a serious problem as i need iis to run asp web projects on my pc. This has really brought my work to a standstill.

I used to work fine with SP1 and iis installed in the old days. Then i built a new pc and installed sp2 on it. I then proceded to install IIS from an .exe setup file (iis6 same as before). The installation prompted me that everything was fine. But IIS doesnt exist on the Services panel and neither does the configuration shortcut on Administrative tools.

Have i done something wrong when i stoped some services from running at startup? anyone knows if IIS is depended upon the startup of another service?

NOTE: when i uninstall IIS, the entry on Add/Remove programs stil stays there even after reboot and do a registry cleanup. I can basically uninstall it infinite times!!! and i can install it infinite times too....its just that i cant make it work

thnx

Try this.

Start > Run > mmc
File > Add/Remove Snap-In
Standalone tab > Add

See if you can find Internet Information Server

Can't you install it from
Add/Remove Programs
Add/Remove Windows Components
Check Internet Information Services (IIs)

rather than from an exe..

Note: this requires the XP disk.

well....now that i turned my house upside down and found the winxp cd, i ll try and install it through there.

thnx for the feedback. will let you know if this is really a problem or just my lack of intelligence.
