SUMMARY
=======

Internet Information Services (IIS) version 5.0 is a built-in component of
Windows 2000. Unlike Internet Information Server (IIS) version 4.0, IIS 5.0 is
not available separately. Therefore, it cannot be run on Windows 95, Windows 98,
or Windows NT 4.0. Instead, you need to run Personal Web Server (PWS) on Windows
95 and Windows 98.

MORE INFORMATION

IIS 4.0 and PWS are included in the Windows NT Option Pack, which is available
