I want to develop a desktop application consisting of ASP.NET pages using a
local copy of SQL (MSDE 2000). I know that I can setup an install package
using InstallShield that will copy the necessary files and Install an
instance of MSDE and make sure the .NET Framework is installed but I am not
sure about the Web Server piece of this. Is IIS always there on a Win XP
system? Is there a way to check to see if IIS is installed? Are there
license issues? Are there any articles describing how to do this?

Hello Wayne,

IIS is available to Windows XP Pro, and Server products...

You can check to see if IIS has been installed, using the ADD REMOVE
PROGRAMS from the control pannel.

I would suggest that you review the IIS HELP File to as a starting place to
learn more about it. Nothing you've said thus far seems like you will have
any problem with SQL, ASP.Net and IIS... sounds perfectly normal...

Check out the help file and you can also get good infomation from this site:

IIS only available in WinXP Pro not Home.
Check the IIS installation from Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs ->
Add/Remove Windows Components
No need CAL license for IIS
try go to look in : msdn.microsoft.com

Hello,

You can do all this from within Visual Studio .NET.

You have some information about it here:

Thanks guys. I'll look at the suggested references and then do some reading.

BTW, my development system has IIS 5.1. Do I need to upgrade to 6?

Wayne

IIS 6 offers much more than IIS 5 and is best that you upgrade
to IIS 6 to learn as much as possible as soon as possible but the
question is "which version of IIS will be running your application?"

Hello Wayne,

There is no upgrade path. You must upgrade your OS to get IIS 6.0.

I believe that IIS 6.0 is going to be your best platform for production but
your development environment is suited just fine for Professional.

If you can describe your needs more here we can help refine this more.

Thank you,
