Right, I'm hoping somebody here might know what I need because I bloomin' well don't.
Basically, for the multimedia module on my course at uni, I need to use my computer as a local server. So the tutor tells everyone to get XP Pro so that we can all install a componant you only get with Pro - I'm pretty sure it's called ISS...something or other... we need it to run VBScript or Javascript...and something to do with SQL...I DON'T KNOW I'M STILL LEARNING, GOD!. So anyway, I don't want to install a new OS just for one componant so I was wondering if it's possible to download whatever it is I need from Microsoft...?
Does anybody have a clue what I'm babbling on about? Because I don't :(

Working with ASP/ASP.net/C# was a nightmare.
PHP is a much cleaner language (in my opinion).

IIS stands for Internet Information Services and it is the Microsoft webserver bundled as part of XP Pro. To install it, you can use Add/Remove Programs, and then Add/Remove Windows Components.
But there is no reason to specifically use IIS rather than Apache unless you need a MS only server-side language such as ASP (though even this can be configured through Apache).

Yeah that sounds about right, I'll look into it, thanks.

Yeah, the tutor wants us to install something that allows us to modify a database on a server so that link may be what I need.
Thanks!
And yes, SQL does stand for Structured Query Language if that counts for anything....!

I'm guessing you're talking about a webserver.
Get apache.
Apache is god!

Basically, apache is a web server so you can test all scripts and stuff locally without having to upload to another host.
There's quite a few docs on the internet about it.
Although..... ISS is Windows's version of a webserver, I have absolutely no idea on how to set it up though sorry.
