Oh, well i had the main list of services for instance, DHCP, IIS etc and i unticked it there ... I wonder if we are seeing the difference between 32 and 64 bit OSs? Enjoy, John.

oh cool, but did you say in the nlite setup you did NOT want iis to be installed? I made sure it was deselected.

Sorry, yeah i tried that , but it uses the host pcs Windows components list, which of course does not show IIS.

Johnhc, Found an article regarding installing IIS on XP Home and modified it! Might be worth of s sticky post! Thanks Adi

Good point, completely forgot that idea! Will try tomorrow and let you know Thanks!
