Installing IIS on windows 2003 without the windows CD

  • 772

Ihave a server that I need to install IIS on - however I don't have the windows 2003 CD available. It prompts me to insert the CD labeled "Service Pack 2 CD-ROM" - I've downloaded the service pack and it's not able to find the file it needs in there. How can I get IIS to install w/o the windows CD?

windows-server-2003 installation

  1. Do you have an I386 folder on the machine? If so you should be able to install it from there.

  2. It will prompt you for SP2 files first -- these are in your Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386. Then it will prompt you for Windows Server 2003 RTM files -- these are on the CD. You can use any CD -- it does not have to be the same key as the one you've used to install with.

  3. You also can take this from another server in your network "\server\C$" and then select the i386 folder.
