Is IIS a prerequisite to install Exchange 2003 (or at least admin tools)

I downloaded the evaluation version and just started the install.
I ran forestprep and domainprep.
When I run Exchange setup, I cannot select typical under "action".
It says "The Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools cannot be
assigned the action "install" because :
- The NNTP component of Microsoft IIS is either not installed or
disabled
- The SMTP component of Microsoft IIS is either not installed or
disabled
etc
I selected a Custom install and selected None for the tools, but it
didn't seem like Exchange installed at all....no errors, said it
finished, but I see no services, no changes to program menu, etc...
Any help appreciated!!

Yes, IIS must be installed for Exchange to be installed. If you follow the
Exchange Deployment Tool it will walk through the steps of installing
Exchange OR in Control Panel select Add/Remove Programs and select Windows
Components. Here you can install NNTP and SMTP.
