XP/Home and a free webserver

[Tom Miller]

As you probably know, XP/Home doesn't come with IIS and won't install it
unless you successfully use a hack from the Internet. (I didn't suceed
doing that about a year ago).

If you want to run IIS it appears you need to either run Windows 2000
Professional or XP/Pro (I'm ignoring win98 and Vista for this discussion).
And that is what I ended up doing.

I have run across a free developer level webserver that supports ASP via the
asp101.com website's resources link (its called "baby webserver"). But to
support something like the Database Wizard of FP2002 it seems like I really
need a webserver that also runs the Jet Db engine or maybe install Acess
from MS Office?

I now have XP/Pro installed so this isn't urgent but I would like to know
what I could do if I had to go back to XP/Home....

Thanks,
Tom Miller

Stay with XP Pro. There are some web servers out there that you might get
to work with XP Home but they won't have all the features
