I've been struggling to get IIS to run / install correctly on my new
HP a1430n (Win XP Media center edition, Version 2002, SP2)

I read a post on this newsgroup by Rick Hodder on 3/26 titled "IIS
keeps losing its information"
He has the identical HW/SW to mine, similar problems, no resolution.


At first, IIS wouldn't install.
I went through a number of machinations, fixing the com component,
etc. and was finally able to get IIS to install, but the WWW
publishing service won't start.

When trying to start it in computer management services I get an
"error 3: system cannot find the path specified" box.

I've checked the system log file in event viewer, and there are errors
when IIS attempts to start:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023
Date: 5/15/2006
Time: 6:51:59 AM
User: N/A
Computer: HPA1450N
Description:
The World Wide Web Publishing service terminated with the following
error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
....

and


Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 116
Date: 5/15/2006
Time: 6:51:59 AM
User: N/A
Computer: HPA1450N
Description:
The service metabase path '/LM/W3SVC/' could not be opened. The data
is the error code
.........
Data:
0000: 03 00 00 00 ....


The IIS6.og file contains some Fail messages after installing IIS
component of XP:

Can anyone help?

Other interesting problems on this machine:
Front-page and Visual Web Developer also have some strange issues
resolving links. They cannot seem to resolve localhost links unless
they are relative.

A link that's in a subdirectory page of the site that points to a page
somewhere else in the site using an absolute address:
when my local site is in :
d:\WebSite\Current\
This link: <a href="/index.htm"> will not work.
IE resolves it as:
http://localhost:1847/index.htm
but should resolve it as:
http://localhost:1847/Current/index.htm

If I change the link to
<a href="/index.htm">
IE resolves it correctly to:

http://localhost:1847/Current/index.htm

I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with HP's image of XP, but
HP's techs are clueless and don't support IIS... they say "contact
Microsoft". Microsoft, of course, doesn't support XP MMC and says
contact HP.
