I want to update the IIS server from 5.0 to 6.0 or higher.
The condition is that I cant upgrade the server. My machine is Windows XP SP3
Is there any way I can only update the IIS.
You can install IIS Express 7.5 on Windows XP. Note that the Express version is a lightweight (yet fully featured) version of IIS meant for development purposes, not production hosting. You shouldn't use Windows XP as a production server anyway.
You can run it on XP Pro 32bit
Check the link here - http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/868/iis-express-overview/
I have installed IIS 6.0 Manager for my Windows XP SP3 32-bit from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15662
In Control Panel->Administration Tool (I guess its name translated from italian :) now I have two items:
Internet Information Services - the 5.1 version bundled with the OS
Internet Information Services (IIS6) Manager - the installed version from the link above

You can't. .NET Framework 4.5 requires Windows Server 2008 at least as can be seen in the System Requirements page:
System requirements
Supported Operating System
Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2
Windows Vista Service Pack 2
Windows Vista SP2 (x86 and x64)
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x86 and x64)
Hardware Requirements:
1 GHz or faster processor
512 MB of RAM
850 MB of available hard disk space (x86)
2 GB hard drive (x64)
The latest .NET framework version you could install on Windows Server 2003 is .NET 4.0.
You need at least IIS 7.0.
Here are the requirements for .NET 4.5 framework:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8z6watww%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
You're going to have to use .NET 4.0, which porting your project over shouldn't be too painstaking.
Take your project and change compatibility to 4.0 for framework.
Fix some of the errors, and EF errors you may get, and repush to the IIS 6.0 server.
You need to ensure all the runtimes are installed, and the app is running on the
.NET 4.0 pool.
IIS 6 is part of Windows Server 2003 (and technically XP 64-bit).
.Net 4.5 cannot be installed on Windows Server 2003, thus IIS is not supported.
Does anyone have an idea if it is possible to downgrade IIS version 7 to lower version of IIS on windows server 2008?
I have an ASP program on win 2000 server and I am planning to migrate this program on new setup on better hardware and software but I am getting HTTP 500 which in detail error logs I see complain of classic asp and IIS 7. In my case obviously the the ASP used (by another programmer) is and old classic ASP platform and now with this conflict I cannot get my web sever operating properly.
Any help/idea would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan
How can I check what version of Windows Imaging Component is installed on a Windows machine? I suspect the Windows 2008 Servers used in Azure do not have the same version that I have on my Windows 7 development machine. I just want to verify that as I need the latest TIFF codec.
Will not make a definite statement, but I think that the WIC on the Windows Azure is the same what you have on your Windows 7. Just be aware that there are 2 OS families in Windows Azure. OS Family 1.x is using Windows Server 2008 SP1 as base, while OS Family 2 is using Windows Server 2008 R2 as base.
From what I read about WIC, I see it is part of Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2, so, if you target your application for OS Family 2, you shall nothave issues. Unless there is some update, or more recent version which has installer. If there is an installer, you can simply use a startup task to install the exact version you need.
UPDATE
Refering this post confirms that Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 come with WIC. While a platform update is required for Windows Vist / Windows Server 2008 (you must install Server 2008 SP2 before the update is available). So, if you target OS Family 2.x (recommended anyway) you get the same WIC you get in your Windows 7 machine.
I have checked the following during turning on Windows features:
IIS,IIS Compatibility and under WWW I have checked .NET extensibility.I do not see an ASP.NET option to check.Will these be enough to have IIS running or am I missing something.
I do not see the IIS page when I type localhost in my browser.Please help.
Your version of Vista does not support ASP on IIS. You'll have to either install asp or upgrade your version of Vista to:
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
Windows Vista Professional Edition
Windows Vista Ultimate Edition
If you're trying to set up a web server you can take a look at Microsoft's Dreamspark site.
If you're a student and have the capability of proving it you can download a copy of Windows 2003 Server and use it for educational purposes.
Is it possible to update IIS on Windows XP from 5.1 to 6?
If so how?
Thanks.
No, it is not possible. The version of IIS is tied to a specific version of Windows.
XP = IIS 5.1
2003 = IIS 6
2008 = IIS 7
More information available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224609.
It is now possible to Run IIS 7 - Express on XP, this is a full iis for developing but not deploying web applications.
see http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/06/28/introducing-iis-express.aspx
No, I believe it is just for Win2003 and x64 XP Pro
it is possible if you have XP x64 Pro
