IIS 7.0 on Vista Home Basic
I recently added Windows Vista Home Basic to my MacBook Pro purely so I could
access IIS and ASP.Net at home to learn how to code for the latter. I didn't need any of the other features mentioned in the version comparison list and thus decided not to spend extra on Home Premium. At no point on Windows Marketplace was I told that I could not access IIS on Home Basic as it was a feature reserved for the more expensive versions of the operating system; and when I installed it, I was able to install the various related components in the Windows Feature section of the Program management in the Control Panel. Am I really unable to administrate IIS and ASP.Net on Windows Vista Home Basic? I fully understand why Microsoft differentiate the different versions of Vista (despite thinking it's ridiculous - this does not happen with Mac OS X), but there must be a standalone, downloadable version I can install without spending more money on Vista upgrades? Before I complain to customer services I thought I would ask for workarounds.

IIS 7.0 on Vista Home Basic
Are you trying to run IIS on the vista box, or do you want to
administer an IIS instance on another box? --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Sat, 22 Dec 2007 11:06:00 -0800, Dale wrote: I recently added Windows Vista Home Basic to my MacBook Pro purely so I could access IIS and ASP.Net at home to learn how to code for the latter.
