Problem with IIS

[carjbga]

I had installed Win XP Pro Service Pack 2. Due to some malicious virus that propagate through the corporative net, the svchost.exe was corrupted. I call for the support department and sent a technician who upgraded my Windows to Service Pack 3. The BIG problem is once he went, I tried to continuing testing my local site that is built on asp pages, but found out it cannot run anymore. I thought IIS was not started after the upgrade. Then I opened the service window list, but the IIS Admin Service that i had before didn´t appear.

I went as fast as I could to the support department, in order to get the Win XP Pro install CD and just add the IIS. I went to the add Windows components section and chose IIS and started the procedure, but in some part of the installation it prompted a message saying it couldn´t access the IIS Admin component.

I realized the CD they brought to me was labeled as Win XP Pro SP2, and I don´t know if it is the cause of the install problem

Please I Really need some help on it, because I´ll have a presentation of some funcionalities of the local site on monday, but now I´m desesperately trying to get my Local web Server to work again

Is it important that you have IIS? If it isn't then you may want to consider a WAMP or similar installation that will run off a USB stick drive.

That way the admins can do what the hell they like, you unplug the USB stick and your files are safe for when upgrades and other machine orientated upgrades take place. You will however be advised to back up to CD like any good developer should.

Then you can use spftware to create a CD version of your site to then run from a CD-ROM that delivers the presentation, files can not be compromised or edited...

Does that help?
