It's a pretty simple process, actually.
Add/remove programs----Add/remove Windows components
Select Internet Information Services. By default, I think that SMTP is not
installed on W2K Pro, so go into the details and check that option or verify
that it is checked.
Click the necessary OKs and let W2K install IIS. If you do not have your
I386 directory copied to your local drive and your setup path updated to
that location, I believe you will be prompted for your W2K CD.
After all this is finished, you will see a new directory in the root of your
%systemdrive% called Inetpub. In Inetpub is wwwroot. In that directory is
where you put your .asp files. Then, to load them, you enter
http://localhost/yourfile.asp in your browser.

I'm a VB/SQL programmer, but not familiar with WEB programming or the
Microsoft products for this. I'm trying to set up a development workstation
to create and test .asp files running server side VBScripting. My PC has
Win2k Pro and Visual Studio Enterprise Ed. Does anyone know what other
software I need to install in order to have a development Web Server?
Thanks.
