IIS 5.1 shipped with windows xp has 10 connection limit. Singll ASP .NET MVC application can use more connections even if HTTP 1.1 is disabled.

To fix this, Microsoft recommends to use IIS 7 Express in XP.

I tried

iisexpress /path:c:\myapp /port:80 /clr:v2.0 and it works in local computer.

This XP computer has number of users. User can log off antytime.

How to run iisexpress automatically if computer is turned on ? I googled but havent found a way like to run it as XP service ?

How to run IIS Express as a process started via a Windows Service describes how to run it from application. However I'm looking a way to use Windows XP as http server without application. Maybe srvany can help ?

  • XP ships with IIS 5.1 but this returns access denied error due to connection limit. IIS upgrading is not supported in XP, replacing XP with server OS for single user is not reasonable. How I can use actual server in Windows XP? Is it possible to use Apache in XP to run ASP .NET MVC application or other idea ? – Andrus Oct 17 '11 at 11:25
  • You should use a server OS. Windows XP is a client OS; clients are not servers. It is not reasonable to run a web server on a client OS. – SLaks Oct 17 '11 at 14:31
