Do you want to find out how to install IIS on Windows XP SP2 without actually having the SP2 CD?

unpack the SP2 installation file using WinRar  and compile a CD image file from it.  mount that on CD image onto a virtual CD.  install and use this Virtual CD to supply the missing files which are somewhere inside the I386 folder.

Here are the steps you can follow to install IIS without having a Windows XP SP2 CD:

• Download the XP SP2 installation file (softwarepatch.com/windows/xpsp2.html) if you do not already have.
• Extract the content of the file into a folder using WinRar (win-rar.com) or similar compression software;
• Start installing IIS using standard procedure (Control Panel > Add and Remove Programs > Windows Components)
• When it prompts for source folder, browse for the I386 folder that you extracted earlier
• When it prompts for missing files, browse I386 and its sub-folders for them.

The solution was easier than it look. You do not need to riskily alter the Windows security folder. You do not need to spend time merging SP2 into Windows XP CD. All you need to do is to use what were already there.
