Hey,
I am trying to install IIS on a windows 2000 professional SP4 box but when I get to the add/remove windows components I do not see IIS on the list. Have any of you guys seen something similar to this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Are you on a domain? It is possible to prevent IIS through the use of group policy. Though, I'm unsure if it'll actually remove the option from add/remove windows components. I have not tested it.
I will check that tomorrow and see if that is the problem. I will let you know. Thanks for your reply
I just remembered a neat little gem. It may help here too..
Edit (with notepad) c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf
Under the [components] section there's a list of individual parts of windows. Yes, the things you see in Add/Remove Windows Components.
Look for lines with HIDE and remove the hide but make sure you leave the commas!
SirDice, that was exactly what was happening. Thanks for the knowledge.
