I wanted to install Windows Media Services in my windows xp machine The above post helped me alot. But my only concern was, Windows Media Services needs IIS 6.0 but Windows XP is shipped with IIS 5.0/5.1 so finally there is no use of doing all the above .... Can any one help me in this regard... Finally a gr8 work from McoreD. atleast he could helped me to certain extent.
