IIS 6 INSTALL

I have SP2 and have been trying to install IIS on a Windows XP Pro box. I
keep getting the same error on all files that are necessary for IIS. "unable
to copy file" I can select the file but when I hit the retry nothing happens.
When I upgraded to SP2 I had IIS loaded but the service would not start. So
I removed IIS and am now trying to reinstall it.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks

You mean IIS 5.1 onto Windows XP Professional?

Sounds like corrupt media (installation media) or corruption in the media
reader (CD drive?) and/or possible issues with the hard disk drive it is
writing to..

(When was the last time you did a CHKDSK? How clean is the media (CD?) and
have you blown out the CD drive lately (if a CD..)?)

Other very good chances:

You may receive the "Setup cannot copy the file staxmem.dll"
error message when you try to install IIS on a computer that is
running Windows XP Professional with SP2

(I'd try the resolutions even if that is not the exact error.)
