urfage Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 (edited) I was wondering if it was possible to install IIS 6 from a windows server 2003 cd on to a windows xp installation using some of the techniques used to add system restore to 2k3 for instance. I'll be doing some research and hopefully will have a working guide posted here after all is said and done. If you guys have any input or if this has already been done please reply to this thread. -Bryce EDIT: Rewrote a sentence for clarity.

Joswin Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Wouldnt that be considering a breech of the EULA, i mean 'tweaking' is one thing but ripping features from one MS OS and placing them in another is a shade of gray. Especially when they are 'updated' features Microsoft want you to PAY for to be able to use. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/100198-install-iis-6-on-windows-xp/#findComment-1152452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
urfage Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 If you own licenses for both products I don't see a problem. It's not like I will post files copyrighted by Microsoft. I will only post instructions and assume people wanting to implement this will have access to both discs (xp and 2k3). -Bryce Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/100198-install-iis-6-on-windows-xp/#findComment-1152858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeons Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Ok, it's illegal if you are using the copy of Windows Server 2003 you are jacking IIS 6 from. If you aren't using it, it'd say it's cool. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/100198-install-iis-6-on-windows-xp/#findComment-1153444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougkinzinger Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I'm certain it's legal, but you'll probably have a hard time to get it to work, in fact, I'd bet $10 that you won't be able to get it to work. There's code within 6.0 that verifies what OS it runs on.

Joswin Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 (edited) Checked the EULA, and what aeons said seems to be correct. You could do it in theory as long as you stoped using your copy of Windows 2003. So people are going to buy a $1000 OS and then not use it and install IIS 6.0 on Windows XP? ;) :whistle: But it sounds cool anyways, if you can get it to work. I think i agree with dougkinzinger that you dont have a very good chance. *edit* Just noticed your sig dougkinzinger, way to be understated and modest ;) lmao (talking about the last bit) I hope thats a joke to all the peeps that list every last chip revision in their sigs lol :D *edit* Edited September 12, 2003 by RobertH Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/100198-install-iis-6-on-windows-xp/#findComment-1154114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsbury Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 It IS strange that there is NO workstation platform that runs IIS6 for development....

Jason Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 This is a bit strage you purchase (or steal) 2003 Server and want to put IIS6 on XP.

Say I have 100 developers, with 2000 Pro / IIS5, each could run a local copy of their application for their own testing. With IIS6, unless you kit each developer out with another machine AND a license for Server 2003, you can't do the same. 100 x machines and Server 2003 Web edition licenses = a lot of money It's a point I have raised with Microsoft...

dougkinzinger Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 True, but just develop on IIS6 from your PC (visual studio .net 2003) on a development Windows Server 2003....that's what everybody does. No problems for anyone else yet...? :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/100198-install-iis-6-on-windows-xp/#findComment-1154371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsbury Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 (edited) Emmm, you mean put 100 IPs / hostnames on the machine or 100 Web Servers? Not exactly elegant. And, EVERY other dev house I know of works the same way as we do. Plus if a developer toasts the machine, everyone is offline...

John Veteran Posted September 12, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2003 if you have need of that many developers who will constantly be writing pages, your company is big enough to buy enough licenses...

OPaul Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Sorry to resurrect this thread but there didn't seem much point in creating a new one. Has anyone successfully done this yet?
