Windows – Is IIS available in Windows 7 Professional

I do not know of anyway to just install IIS without the CD or any XP resources.

That being said, If this is just for practice, take a look at Cassini Personal Web Server. You can find out more information about it on Wikipedia.

This is basically the source code and the component of Visual Studio that serves up ASP.Net content (when you choose not to target IIS).

It is fully featured and fully working web server for development.

It may not have all the features of IIS, but IIS is restricted on XP anyway and this should do everything and anything you need.

Otherwise, feel free to install either Visual Studio or just Visual Studio Web Developer which can do the same.

It is easy to overlook, but make sure you have the following option checked. Internet Information Services -> Web Management Tools -> IIS Management Console
