2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components.
4. In the Windows Components Wizard, under the Components list, click Internet Information Services.
5. In the Windows Components Wizard, click Next. The Windows Components Wizard displays the Configuring Components screen with a status bar that displays the progress of the configuration. If you are prompted, insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
