Windows XP can only accept IIS 5.1, but IIS 5.1 does not accept by default .aspx pages. This is because .aspx pages were introduced with the Framework 2.0 while IIS 5.1 predates this framework.
Installing IIS 5.1 on Windows XP:
1. Go to Control Panel
2. Open Add/Remove Programs
3. Select the Add/Remove Windows Components Tab
4. Select Internet Information Services (IIS) from the list
5. Click Next and follow the wizard
Once the installation is complete you can open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/. IF IIS was installed correctly you should see its homepage. You will notice on the IIS homepage the page formats that it supports, but .aspx pages will not be present. To enable these pages on IIS you will need to have at least .NET Framework 2.0 installed.
Enabling .aspx pages on ISS 5.1:
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft .NET\Framework
2. Enter the framework directory (v4.0.30319 for .NET 4.0 as example)
3. Search for a file named aspnet_regiis.exe
4. Run this program with the “ -i” command line parameter
You should see how IIS is reconfigured to use the latest framework. Now that everything should is set up, all you’ll have to do is to copy the website in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot directory. On the local machine you can run the website by navigating to http://localhost/ or from any computer on the intranet by accessing your machine’s IP.
NOTE that IIS 5.1 can host only one site.
