Actually, Personal Web Server is IIS at the core (the engine, not the interface). If you have the Windows 98 first edition CD, PWS should be on a subdirectory on it (can't remember the exact location). Not sure about 98 SE - I think that PWS isn't on the CD. I don't think that it's something you can download.
However, I'll mirror the recommendation of going with Win2K Pro - it has almost the full version of IIS on it (I think the only restriction is that it allows you to only set up one "web site" in IIS parlance). However, if upgrading your OS isn't an option, I'd recommend going with Apache. (PWS does leave a lot to be desired) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Watts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 4:47 PM Subject: RE: Where to download IIS for win98 > > Anyone have a URL where I can download the latest IIS web > > server for win 98... > > > > ..every time I go to MS web site, I get frustrated trying to > > find anything. > > There IS no IIS for Win98.
