OS --> XP Home edition. Since its home edition, I do not have IIS in my laptop. Hence some of the sql server components are not installed. I googled and read that IIS cannot be installed on Home edition and it is only for XP Professional. Is my analysis correct? Could some one please help me out to make a complete installation of SQL Server 2005.
