Hi All,

I have Windows XP Pro installed, along with IIS 5.1.

Im looking to upgrade my version of IIS to version 6.0, but dont
really know how to go about doing it.

Do I need to buy a new copy of Windows XP, or do I purchase IIS 6.0 on
a separate CD, or can I download and IIS 5.x to IIS 6.0 upgrade from
somewhere, etc...

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

There is no upgrade path from IIS 5.1 to IIS6. Best thing you can do is to
export your one website from IIS 5.1 into IIS6, but with just one website,
you might as well just recreate it.

IIS6 is only available on Windows Server 2003. Cheapest way to get Windows
Server 2003 is the WebBlade edition or via MSDN subscription. I believe
there is also a 180-day trial edition of Windows Server 2003 that you can
use for evaluation as well.

Hi David,

It's important to note that MSDN copies can't be used in production
