I saw this issue here at work from a customer that called in:
First, you need to determine how you got XP installed on your machine; from the manufacturer, or did you do it.
Next, ensure that if the manufacturer did it, or a computer reseller, that they gave you the exact CD image that was used to install the
OS.
There are versions of XP now slip-streamed with SP1, so after an install of the OS, and a final reboot, you will see sp1 installed on the
box. Now, you have to have to slip-streamed image to add/remove any windows components, including IIS.
My customer had bought his box from a local retailer. They installed XP with SP1 slip-streamed, and they have him the XP cd (not slip-
streamed). He could never add/remove any windows components until they gave him the correct image, and then he could install IIS.
So it is not actually asking you for the sp1 cd for xp, but rather the XP SP1 cd, or in other terms, the slip-streamed version of XP with
SP1, which is the entire OS with sp1 updates already in the image.
I hope I have explained this clearly.
Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.

| Hello,
|
| On my new XP-Pro system I need to install IIS to run
| FrontPage properly. When I try to install IIS a req is
| made for install components on service pack 1, which I
| don't have [physically] but it is installed on my system.
| I did d/l the Network update SP 1-a hoping it would have
| IIS but the required install components were still
| missing.
|
| Is there someone who knows where I can d/l a 'full'
| version of SP 1 which does contain the files required for
| the IIS server?
|
| Thanx in advance,
|
| Larry
