MicroSoft's solution for HTTP/FTP/SMTP on
WindowsNtServer, Windows2k, and
WindowsXp.
A limited version, known as
PersonalWebServer, is available for use on
WindowsNtWorkstation and Windows9x.
The three protocols are managed by three independent services that are controlled by a fourth parent service. All run under the inetinfo.exe process. However, individual
IsapiExtensions and
AspApplications can be configured to run in their own processes for better
FaultIsolation.
- IIS 4.0 can be installed on WindowsNtServer via the Option Pack 4.0 CD.
- PersonalWebServer, the WindowsNtWorkstation and Windows9x flavor, can be downloaded from MicroSoft's web site.
- IIS 5.0 is installed by default as part of several flavors of Windows2k Server.
- IIS 5.1 is included with WindowsXp Professional (but not with the Home Edition). The non-server version has a few limitations, similar to those of PersonalWebServer, but it is functional enough for use as a web development platform.
