I need an ISO for SP2 or the files from it

[allen1000]

I'm trying to add IIS to an XP Pro system and when I try to add the IIS
component it's asking for the "Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD"
which I don't have. When we bought these pc's they came with Windows
installed already and we did not get a CD with them. I downloaded the
"WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe" file but that does not seem to have what
it's looking for. I even tried starting the install using the file and then
copying the contents for the temp directory it created with an i386
direcorty but that still did not seem to have what it's looking for --- it
appears to be looking first for adsutil.vbs which does not seem to be there.
Any suggestions ?

I have that CD in front of me and 'adsutil.vbs' is nowhere on it.

"Adsutil.vbs is an IIS administration utility that uses Microsoft Visual
Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) with Active Directory Service Interfaces
(ADSI) to manipulate the IIS configuration. This script should be run using
CScript, which is installed with Windows Script Host."

(ADSUTIL.VBS is usually located in the C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts directory)

Update -- I got past that file by renaming the file adsutil.vb_ (which was
in the temp directory created when I started the SP2 install) to adsutil.vbs
but now have gotten to infoctrs.h2 (which I am looking for everywhere I can
think of). I'll keep trying to find each file as it tells me what it's
looking for). Any better suggestions ?

It might have worked, but technically files that end in _ on Windows
CD's are normally compress and have to be expanded with the expand
command.
expand adsutil.vb_ adsutil.vbs
expand <source> <dest>
Now it might only be necessary for very large or exe/dll files. I've
only done it for .exe files.

Ok, I'll look at that. I'm now looking for iisperf.pmc and can't find it ---
I'll keep looking, but if someone has that file and can get it to me that
would be great.
Thanks to all your suggestions.

I'm no expert on this subject. Just for interest, I Googled for your issue and
came up with these links that were cited as "Accepted Solution" on one forum:

It appears to me that if your system is updated to SP2 you're going to need to
use an installation CD that has SP2 slipstreamed into it, you can't simply use
SP2 update itself to install IIS. I may be wrong.

If your system has an I386 folder containing WinXP setup files, you can create
your own setup CD.

See this tutorial for details:
