David,

I tried the below mentioned instructions. It is asking me
to insert a XP prof SP 2 CD to install IIS. Where can I
find this CD (it is not available with my standard
windows XP prof OS CD)? Do I have to download microsoft
updates in order to do this? Thanks a lot for this
information.

Hi. I have XP Pro and IIS. All I did was go to Add/Remove Programs,
select "Windows Components" and it should be there.

You can't install it on top of XP Home without a huge hack.
