Can I run IIS on XP Home, or must I upgrade to XP Professional? If I can run IIS on Home, where can I get a copy of IIS?

Russ, send me an email or post back if you want these files and I'll send them to you. It sounds like it will then ask you for some additional files, so you'll need to write those down and send me the list. Then I can send you the rest of the files it needs.
