    I think home edition can rus IIS - you have to install it from the cd by going to control panel -> add/remove programs -> add/remove windows components and then tick the box for IIS with the cd in and click apply.

    Then put your website in the default folder and make sure you create an ODBC data source for your back end databse in control panel -> admin tools -> data sources and after approx 2 to 3 hours of tinkering it'll work for you.

    IIS doesn't come packaged with Home edition.

    You can try the following method if you wish, i haven't tried it and can't vouch for its results.

    You can also use Apache2 instead, then you can install PHP and, dare I say it, ASP (from ChillieSoft) if you really want to use ASP instead of, and IMO better, PHP

    If you have access to a Win2K installation disk you can install IIS from it onto WinXP Home see http://adamv.com/dev/articles/iis-on-xp-home for details.

    PHP will run just fine on IIS and I too prefer it to asp.

    I can guarantee this is untrue. Windows XP Home cannot run IIS, I repeat, XP Home cannot run IIS!, it's written in black and white on the Microsoft XP support site. XP Pro can run it, but that's obvious.

    You can install Apache and execute PHP code on XP Home but the simple fact is, XP home cannot install IIS and execute ASP code.
