Installing IIS on XP Pro
Friday, April 28, 2006
Today I did a fresh install of Windows XP Pro and tried to get IIS going again. I kept getting the message, “Setup cannot copy the file staxmem.dll.insert Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD.” I tried a variety of things before browsing around google and the newsgroups. Finally I found the solution:
Follow these steps to resolve this issue.
- Click on the Windows Start Menu.
- Click Run.
- Type esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb in the Open box, and click OK.
- Install IIS through the Control Panel Add/Remove Windows Components applet.
