Hi, I must uninstall IIS so s to reinstall it in an attempt to fix a problem.
How can I deinstall IIS without deinstalling windows? I'm running XPPRO SP2.

Many thanks for your help

Add/Remove Windows Components. Only do that as a last resort. What's the
specific problem?

Hi,

in a nutshell:

"Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web server is not
running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web
applications or services. "

the problem is that I can't run ASP.NET It comes up with ASP.NET 1.1 not
installed. I've run the utility to reconfigure that configures it to 32 bit &
aspnet_regiis -i to reinstall but no luck. I read where removing &
reinstalling will fix this but it's tricky with SP2.

Thanks for your help

Try running setup from VS.NET again and just install the server components.
You could also try to manually configure the application mappings in IIS for
ASP.NET.

Even if you re-install IIS, you'll still need to find a way to fix ASP.NET.
