Installing IIS 5.1 Windows XP Professional SP2

A  relatively simple thing you'd think... but MS manages to shaft you when attempting this after installing SP2.  After trying Add/Remove Software -> Add Remove Windows Components and checking IIS, it then looks in the C:\Inet386 folder and complains it can't find numerous files and asks me to insert my XP CD. Bit of a bugger as I have no CD only a recovery partition with XP installed that is hidden in Windows, yay! So first downloaded an image of XP Professional SP2 of bittorrent. Then followed these steps.

• Mount XP Pro SP2 image (I used Virtual Dameon tool) or burn image to CD
• Open dos prompt and run the following command to repair windows security database: esentutl /p C:\Windows\security|Database\secedit.sdb
• Then from the XP Pro SP2 cd run install windows components, then point at the i386 folder within the CD and IIS should install successfully.
• After IIS install , I start the Default website but no reponse when i browse http://localhost
• This is solved when I quit Skype which was using port 80 (found this can be turned of in Skype's connection preferences)
• Tried again to browse http://localhost and get a messgage saying COM Surogate process shutsdown unexpectedly.
• This was solved by Control Panel - System - Advanced - Performance - Settings - Data Execution Protection - tick checkbox for COM Surrogate.
• Third time lucky? Tried again http://localhost but got the error Either module could not be found or Access denied not autorised to view this resource
• This was solved by going into IIS (inetmgr from cmd prompt)  then right clicking Web Sites - Properties - Directory Secuirty - Anonmymous Access authentication controls - Edit - tick Anonmymous Access checkbox, type account access for anonymous access as nav and password tick integrated windows authentication checkbox. Apply for all child nodes.
• Success! Pages load on IIS 5.1 at last .. screen shot below.

Thanks, fixed the screenshot size but the link to the full size image only seems to work in IE 7 not FF 3.0.
