Detecting IIS

Good Morning,

My name is Erin.  When attempting to install SQL Server Express on Windows XP Home Edition Service Pak 2, the installation freezes at "Detecting IIS...".  I have been bopped around Microsoft Support since Monday.  I even opened a case, but I have no success.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem   Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tongue Tied

    I made it through the installation of Net.Framework 2.0. with the SDk kit. I've installed the SQLServer, Express without any problems. Now I need to configure the Startup kit for SDK, and Net Framework 2.0. I finally got the configuration wizard, and I am asked if I have the IIS installed on my computer. I don't think I can get the IIS on the Home, ed. There may be a substitute. I ran into a support I believe some time ago. I am looking now. Thought I was alone where this matter is concerned. Will get back if I find the support for IIS.

    Great question Erin.

    There are several threads in the Setup Forum that may help.
