I'm trying to load the iis facility onto my pc from the windows 2000 professional CD but it is asking for a file that ain't on the CD apparently. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong or can I download iis from the microsoft web site??

cheers

When i have loaded IIS onto W2K Pro allthe files i have needed have been on the CD, is it asking for one file in particular?

 

IIS is a webserver, so is it bundled on W2K Pro which is a client OS?

 

I thought iis was the w2k version of pws on windows 98?? I thought this was what I would need to test a database driven website on my pc without having to upload to a server??

oops, I''m well confused now!!

The version if IIS with W2k Pro is a lot better than PWS was with Win 98, but iirc the version in W2K pro is not as scaleable as in W2K Server.

 

IIRC On W2kPro it supports maximum of 10 connections. It works fine as a deelopment environment.

You might get files missing if you have installed service packs/patches/IE upgrades on the system and then try to add the component from the original install disk. Depends on the file asto how it's affected.

 

Never had a file missing when I've install IIS on more W2K Pro PCs than I care to count.

What's it called?

 

it asks for admxprox.dll, but it ain't on the CD???

As people have said, all the files you need are on the Win2k Pro CD.

You could try doing a complete uninstall of IIS,reboot then reinstall ?

 

That file is on my PC which has IIS installed in WinNT\System32.

It's the "IIS Admin Ex Com API Proxy dll" apparently.

Just searched an original Win 2000 Pro install CD (none SP1 version) and it lives in \i386.

Is the CD damaged or scratched? Try copying the I386 folder to the local HD of the PC and when asked for the CD, point it to C:\i386 (or whereever).
