[cvsnt] Re: Off topic: Is there anyway to programatically start IIS installer?

[Bo Berglund]

IIS is a part of Windows and the install is reached thru the Control
Panel Add/Remove Programs /Windows Components.

I think that trying to automatically launch this will be rather hard,
especially since you may also bump into "Please enter the Windows XP
CD" message...
