Config Apache on Windows XP Home Edition to run ASP.NET for VB.Net

Config Apache on Windows XP Home Edition to run ASP.NET for VB.Net

I am trying to make Apache recognize my ASP.net applications.
I cannot install iis under Windows XP Home(2003).
Apache has installed fine. I downloaded the mod_aspdotnet-2.0.0.msi,
and tried an install. It keeps stopping the install on..."C:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache\
is not a valid path to an instance of Apache". This is my Apache directory!
Does it not like XP Home either? I have both a Visual Studio VB.Net
install and the WebMatrix.
The VB.net is a nicer editor. I did read something about making iis
install under XP Home by
adding some dll2 files. This sounds a bit iffy. I depend too much on
this machine to attempt a
possible sabotage. And this machine did not come with the XP Home (2003)
install Cd's. A Sony Vaio.
I do have an XP Professional install CD(2000). I attempted an upgrade
and it will not b/c this version
of XP Home (2003) is newer than XP Professional(2000). A conundrum.

If I managed to get this installed, then I will still need to configure
Apache. The apache.com website
is a little difficult to understand.

Thanks in advance, Aku

you can unpack the .MSI file and just grab the .so Module and add the
directives to your httpd.conf file

there is also a file named Apache.Web.dll in the msi archive that is
probably required

there is a plugin http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/msi.html for total
commander that allows you to treat msi files like regular archives
and you can use it to unpack the files
